• About the MONITOR OUT terminals
The MONITOR OUT terminals cannot output the following signals:
1 Video signals input from the COMPONENT VIDEO terminal (INPUT
1 or 4)
2
Digital video and audio signals from the HDMI terminal
(INPUT 3)
• When watching images played back on a VCR or DVD recorder
connected to the MONITOR OUT terminals, select an input source
(e.g., TV channel reception) on the recording equipment other than
external input sources. Selecting an external input source may result
in distorted images or noise.
Connecting other audio equipment
The digital audio output terminal (optical) on this Plasma
Display can output Dolby Digital signals. Using an optical
digital cable, connect an AV receiver to the digital audio output
terminal (optical) on the rear of the Plasma Display. This allows
audio such as digital TV broadcasting to be played in high
quality.
If your AV receiver does not have a digital audio input terminal
(optical), connect the MONITOR OUT terminals (AUDIO) on the
rear of the Plasma Display to the audio input terminals on the
AV receiver.
• When using the digital audio output terminal (optical), you need to
make settings depending on your AV receiver. For more information,
see the instruction manual that came with the AV receiver.
