Using the TV’s Menu System
Balance
The Balance setting applies to the internal speakers, rear external speakers, and
the headphone output. Balance does not affect any other audio output. Balance
is how much audio (loudness) gets sent to the left and right speakers.
Note: Balance setting affects only variable-volume outputs.
Fixed/Variable Out
The Fixed/Variable Out menu displays a choice list that lets you turn the TV’s
front internal and external speakers on or off and set the Fixed/Variable audio
output to a fixed- or variable-control level. The choices are:
• Variable Output, Speakers On This setting turns the TV’s front speakers
On and allows variable output from the TV’s Fixed/Variable Audio Output
jacks. Use this setting if the TV is not connected to an audio receiver or
amplifier and the volume is controlled by the TV.
• Variable Output, Speakers Off This setting turns the TV’s front speakers
Off and allows variable output from the TV’s Fixed/Variable Audio Output
jacks. Use this setting if the TV is connected to an audio receiver or amplifier
and the volume is controlled by the TV.
• Fixed Output, Speakers Off This setting turns the TV’s front speakers Off
and provides fixed output from the TV’s Fixed/Variable Audio Output jack to
a receiver or amplifier. With the Fixed Output, the TV’s volume control,
graphic equalizer, and mute are disabled. This output is ideal when
connecting to an audio receiver or amplifier that has its own remote control
for controlling the volume.
Note: If the Internal Speaker source switch on the back of the TV is set to
EXT AMP, it overrides any above setting of Speakers Off and allows the
internal speakers to be used as a center speaker input.
Digital Audio Out
If you’ve connected a six-channel receiver to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
jack with a digital optical cable, you can receive Dolby Digital* surround sound
if transmitted. Choose the correct setting in the Digital Audio Out menu:
• Auto Select If selected, your TV automatically chooses between Dolby
Digital and PCM based on the audio signal it is receiving. This is the best
selection if you have a decoder with Dolby Digital* and PCM that was
manufactured in the last several years.
• PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) If selected, the TV sends all signals through
the Digital Audio Output in PCM.
