Audio Out - Optical
Audio Out - Optical is a high quality sound connection. This
optical connection can carry 5.1 audio channels. If your device,
typically a Home Theatre System (HTS), has no HDMI ARC
connection, you can use this connection with the Audio In -
Optical connection on the HTS. The Audio Out - Optical
connection sends the sound from the TV to the HTS.
You can set the type of the audio out signal to fit the audio
capabilities of your Home Theatre System.
If the sound does not match the video on screen, you can adjust
the audio to video synchronization.
