Connecting a Digital Audio System
There are many types of digital audio systems on the market today.
A simplified illustration of an audio system is shown below. For more information, see your
audio system owner’s manual.
Connecting to an Analog Amplifier
1
If your audio system has a coaxial digital audio input, connect
to the “COAXIAL OUT” jack on the TV.
2
If your audio system has a optical digital audio input, connect
to the “OPTICAL OUT” jack on the TV.
Be certain to remove the black cover from the optical output
before inserting the cable.
3
If your system has both coaxial and optical digital audio inputs,
SAMSUNG recommends you use the optical digital output on
the TV.
Do not connect both optical and coaxial cables. This may
damage your audio system.
1
The “AUDIO OUT” terminals cannot be used for
external speakers. You must hook them up to an
amplifier.
When an audio amplifier is connected to the
“AUDIO OUT” terminals: Decrease the gain
(volume) of the audio amplifier, and adjust the
volume level with the volume control on the TV.
• OPTICAL: converts the electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits it through glass fibers.
A transmission system of digital audio in the form of a light wave, S/PDIF format using a glass
conductor.
• COAXIAL: The digital audio signal is received through a coaxial copper cable.
