Connecting a Subwoofer
To connect a subwoofer to the TV:
1. Connect the subwoofer’s audio input to the LFE/SUBWOOFER OUT jack.
Connecting a Wireless Transmitter
To connect a wireless transmitter (for wireless speakers, wireless headphones, etc.):
1. Connect the transmitter’s audio input to the TRANSMITTER OUT jack. Make sure
to connect the right audio cable to the right audio jack and the left audio cable to
the left audio jack. The right audio connector is usually red and the left audio
connector is usually white.
2. Specify that you have connected a wireless transmitter by pressing MENU on the
remote control, selecting Audio, then Special Audio, then Wireless Audio. Select
the appropriate variable audio output. For more information, see the section in this
book, “Adjusting TV Controls.”
Connecting a Stereo Amplifier
1. Connect the amplifier’s TV audio inputs to the left and right FIX/VARIABLE OUT
jacks.
2. You may prefer to turn off the TV’s internal speakers by selecting a speaker
configuration with external speakers. Select Audio from the main menu and then
select Speakers.
Important: Do not use the amplifier’s PHONO inputs. Consult the amplifier’s
owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended hookup.
The FIX/VARIABLE OUT
jacks on the back panel
provide a fixed or
variable audio signal.
When set to “variable”
via the Audio menu, they
are ideal for use with an
audio amplifier that does
not have its own remote
volume control. When set
to “fixed,” the output
volume stays the same no
matter how the volume
changes on the TV.
