process.

• Frequently use all TV features designed to reduce image retention and screen burnout, refer to proper user manual section for details.

✎

HDMI IN 1(DVI), 2, 3, 4, PC/DVI AUDIO IN

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack. For the DVI cable

connection, use a DVI to HDMI cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter for video connection and the

PC/DVI AUDIO IN jacks for audio.

If an external device such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver supporting a HDMI

versions older than 1.3 is connected, the T V may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display / no sound / annoying flicker / abnormal colour).

If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you

suspect the version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HDMI version and request an upgrade.

It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certified cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a

connection error may occur.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL)

When a Digital Audio System is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume

of both the TV and the system.

5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the T V is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

When the receiver (amplifier or DVD home theatre) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s

optical jack. When the TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the amplifier or DVD home theatre. When the source is a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is connected to the T V via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the amplifier or DVD home theatre. If you want to hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite receiver directly to an amplifier or home theatre.

✎

Headphones H: You can connect your headphones to the headphones output on your set. While the headphones are connected, the sound from the built-in speakers will be disabled.

Sound function may be restricted when connecting headphone to the TV.
