Connecting a digital audio system
The TV’s Digital Audio Out terminal outputs a Dolby
®
Digital,
2-channel down-mixed PCM (pulse-code modulation) signal for
use with an external Dolby
®
Digital decoder or other external audio
system with optical audio input.
You will need an optical audio cable (Use an optical audio cable that
has the larger “TosLink™” connector and not the smaller “mini-
optical” connector.)

Some audio systems may not be compatible with Dolby

bitstream signal. Older audio systems that are not compatible with
standard optical out signals may not work properly, creating a high noise
level that may damage speakers or headphones. THIS DAMAGE IS NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal may
not output some digital audio sources because of copy restrictions.
