Connecting headphones or analog sound bar to the
TV
You can connect headphones or an analog sound bar (not provided) to the TV’s
headphone jack.
Tip
:
Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s built-in
speakers.
Warning
:
Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the
lowest volume setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound.
Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not affected by
TV volume or mute settings and does not disable the TV speakers. Use this
connection when you want to use your amplifier or sound bar to control the
TV volume. To turn off the TV’s built-in speakers, in the Home screen menu,
navigate to
Settings > Audio > TV speakers
and change the setting.
Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar
You can enjoy Dolby Audio™ multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital
amplifier or sound bar (not provided) in either of two ways:
•
Digital optical audio out (S/PDIF)
– Connect a TOSLINK optical cable (not
provided) from the TV to the Optical input on your receiver or sound bar.
•
HDMI
®
ARC
– Connect an HDMI
®
cable (not provided) from the
HDMI (ARC)
connector to the HDMI
®
input on your receiver or sound bar. This connection
uses the Audio Return Channel (ARC) feature of the HDMI
®
specification to
output sound from the TV to a compatible device. To use this feature, you
must configure the TV to enable HDMI
®
ARC, as explained in
Enable HDMI
®
ARC
.
