Connecting a digital audio system with
built-in digital surround
The TV’s two digital audio outputs output a Dolby* Digital
or 2-
channel down-mixed PCM (pulse-code modulation) signal for use with an
external Dolby Digital decoder or other external audio system with optical or
coaxial audio input.
You will need:
• one pair of standard audio cables
The COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack outputs digital audio only during digital broadcasts with digital audio. To hear analog
broadcast audio, you also must connect analog audio cables from the L/R ANALOG AUDIO jacks to the receiver’s inputs.
Consult the owner’s manual for your receiver to determine the best way to switch between the analog and digital signals.
