Availability depends on the specific model and area.
Before connecting any external device or cable to the TV, first verify the TV's model number. A sticker
showing the model number is attached to the back of the TV. The connection method varies depending
on the model.
Connecting an AV receiver to the TV via a digital audio (optical) connector lets you listen to digital
audio.
Connecting a device using an optical cable does not automatically turn off the TV speakers. To turn off
the TV's speakers, set
TV Sound Output
(
Sound
>
Speaker Settings
>
TV Sound Output
) to something
other than TV Speaker.
Adjust the audio device's volume using its remote control.

An unusual noise coming from the audio device while you are using it may indicate a problem with the
audio device itself. If this occurs, ask for assistance from the audio device manufacturer.

Digital audio is only available with 5.1-channel broadcasts.
Refer to the diagram and connect the optical cable to the TV's digital audio output connector and the
