➢

The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receivers

supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2 jack and the audio cables to the DVI IN (HDMI2) [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.

Digital Audio System

Optical Cable (Not supplied)

What is OPTICAL?

• An optical cable converts an 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 Digital Audio System 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

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. If you want to hear 5.1 channel audio, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack on the DVD player or Cable/Satellite Box directly to an Amplifier or Home Theater, not the TV.
