What is OPTICAL?
• Converts the electric signal into an optical light signal, and transmits it through glass fibers. S/PDIF is a transmission system of
digital audio in the form of a light wave that uses a glass conductor.
➢

➢
Each external input source device has a different back panel configuration.
➢
When the receiver (home theater) is set to On, you can hear sound output from the TV’s Optical jack. When the TV is displaying a
DTV(air) signal, the TV will send out 5.1 channel sound to the Home theater receiver. When the source is a digital component such
as a DVD and is connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 channel sound will be heard from the Home Theater receiver.

Memorizing the Channels
Your TV can memorize and store all of the available channels
for both “off-air” (air) and cable channels. After the available
channels are memorized, use the CH
to scan through the channels. This eliminates the need to
change channels by entering the channel digits. There are
three steps for memorizing channels: selecting a broadcast
source, memorizing the channels (automatic) and adding and
deleting channels (Channel Lists).
Selecting the Video Signal-source
Before your television can begin memorizing the available
channels, you must specify the type of signal source that is
connected to the TV (i.e. an Air or a Cable system).
Press the MENU button.
Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select Channel, then
1
press the ENTER button.
