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

When connecting, use the appropriate connector (sold separately).

When you connect an audio amplifier to the AUDIO OUT jacks, decrease the volume of the TV and adjust the
