Connecting other audio equipment
The digital audio output terminal (optical) on this system can
output Dolby Digital signals. Using an optical digital cable,
connect an AV receiver to the digital audio output terminal
(optical) on the rear of the plasma display. This allows audio such
as digital TV broadcasting to be played in high quality.
If your AV receiver does not have a digital audio input terminal
(optical), you may connect the AUDIO OUT terminals (AUDIO) on
the rear of the plasma display to the audio input terminals on the
AV receiver. However, this method may result in audio delay
between the speakers and AUDIO, which may be reduced by
muting the speakers on the plasma display. Nonetheless, you
may experience delay between audio and video.

• When using the digital audio output terminal (optical), you
need to make settings depending on your AV receiver. For more
information, see the instruction manual that came with the AV
receiver.
• For details, refer to the operation manual for the audio
equipment to be connected.
• Audio signals synchronized with currently displayed images
are always output to the AUDIO OUT terminals.

always output to the SUBWOOFER output terminal.
• When signals are input from the HDMI terminals, no signals
are output from the DIGITAL OUT terminal.

delays between the speakers and OPTICAL. Try muting the
speakers on the plasma display; however, you may still
experience delays between audio and video.
