Please Read Before Using the Digital Audio Out Jack
This TV’s optical digital output jack fully complies with the international standard governing this type of jack (IEC958), and
is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) receiver or Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM) decoder. Older
equipment, some of which is not fully compliant with IEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream.
Such a connection using anything other than Dolby Digital AC-3 or PCM receiver or decoder could create a high noise
level, causing damage to headphones or speakers.
How to view your DVD
and VCR:
•
To watch the VCR in this
connection, press INPUT
on the remote control
until the correct video
input appears (in this
example, VID1). Note
that because the digital
decoder is in the TV, not
the VCR, you cannot
record digital channels.
•
To watch the DVD player
in this connection, press
INPUT on the remote
control until the correct
video input appears (in
this example, S-VID2).
Some cable systems may
require a “conversion
box.” If so, consult your
cable company’s box
tuning instructions for
details.
