The Audio Connections menu has screens for setting up
inputs or outputs that are associated with audio:
•Fixed/Variable Out: Choose output type; set up subwoofer.
•Digital Audio Out: Choose either Auto Select or PCM output.
•DVI Audio Input: Choose a TV audio input for a DVI device.
•Center Speaker In: Choose internal speakers' audio source.
Fixed/Variable Out
Displays a choice list that lets you turn the TV’s front
internal speakers on or off and set the Fixed/Variable audio output to a
fixed or variable volume output level. The choices are:
•
Variable Output, Speakers On
Turns the TV’s front speakers
On
and allows variable output from the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO
OUTPUT jacks. Use this setting if the TV is not connected to an audio
receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.
•
Variable Output, Speakers Off
Turns the TV’s front speakers
Off
and allows variable output from the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO
OUTPUT jacks. Use this setting if the TV is connected to an audio
receiver or amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.
•
Fixed Output, Speakers Off
Turns the TV’s front speakers
Off
and
provides fixed output from the TV’s FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO
OUTPUT jack to a receiver or amplifier. With the Fixed Output, the
TV’s volume control, graphic equalizer, and mute are disabled. This
output is ideal when connecting to an audio receiver or amplifier that
has its own remote control for controlling the volume.
• Is an external subwoofer connected to the Subwoofer Output?
This option only appears when
Variable Output, Speakers On
is
selected. Select
Yes
if you want the low bass frequencies to be
directed from the SUBWOOFER Out jack to the connected external
subwoofer; select
No
if not.
Digital Audio Out
Allows you to receive Dolby Digital surround sound if
transmitted and you’ve connected a six-channel receiver to the TV’s
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jack with a digital optical cable. Choose the
correct setting in the
Digital Audio Out
menu:
•
Auto Select
Your TV automatically chooses between Dolby Digital
and PCM based on the audio signal it is receiving. This is the best
selection if you have a decoder with Dolby Digital and PCM that was
manufactured in the last several years.
•
PCM
(Pulse Code Modulation)
The TV sends all signals through the
Digital Audio Output in PCM.
DVI Audio Input
Allows you to select the audio input you’re using if
you’ve connected an HDMI/DVI cable adapter to the DVI input. Select from
the inputs listed.

Audio Connections
Because an HDMI output carries the audio signal on the same
cable as the video, no setup is needed. However, if you
connect a DVI output to the TV's HDMI input, you need to
connect the separate DVI audio to one of the TV's audio
inputs and select that input in this screen. The TV will use
that audio input for sound when it displays a DVI signal.
