Connecting a Stereo Amplifier
1. Use RCA cables to connect either the FIXED or VARIABLE AUDIO
OUTPUT from the monitor to an A/V receiver.
• FIXED provides fixed-level audio output from the monitor. This
audio output is ideal for connecting to an A/V receiver that has
its own volume control.
• VARIABLE provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels
are controlled by the volume controls on the monitor and
monitor remote control.
2. Use speaker wire to connect the monitor to external speakers.
• The EXT/INT switch beside the jacks let you turn speakers on or
off. EXT sends audio to external and internal speakers. INT
sends audio only to the monitor’s internal speakers.
3. You may prefer to turn off the TV’s internal speakers. Select Audio
from the main menu and then select Speakers .
Important: Do not use the amplifier’s PHONO inputs. Consult the
amplifier’s owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended
hookup.

The FIXED/VARIABLE OUT jacks on the
back panel provide a fixed or variable
audio signal. When connected to
“variable”, they are ideal for use with an
audio amplifier that does not have its own
remote volume control. When connected
to “fixed,” the output volume stays the
same no matter how the volume changes
on the TV.
