When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the xHDMI (DVI) IN 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 /

versions older than 1.3 is connected, the TV 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 xDIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume of both the TV and the system.

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

When the receiver (home theatre) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s xoptical jack. When the TV is receiving a DTV signal, the TV will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theatre receiver. 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 TV via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the home theatre receiver. 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.
