If you own a receiver that uses an optical cable input, you can usean optical cable to connect the TV to that receiver for the best sound quality.Go to the Digital Audio Out screen in the Audio menu to select Auto Select orPCM as the output for this jack. Go to page 71 for more information.Note: This TV’s optical digital output jack fully complies with theinternational standard governing this type of jack (IEC958), and isdesigned for connection to a Dolby Digital (AC-3® or PCM) receiver ordecoder. Older equipment, some of which is not fully compliant withIEC958, may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Sucha connection using anything other than a Dolby Digital (AC-3 or PCM)receiver or decoder could create a high noise level, causing damage toheadphones or speakers.CableCARD Allows you to use a digital cable television card to receive digitalcable services, including premium and HDTV cable channels, without the needfor a set-top box. Go to page 10 for information on using the CableCARD slot.HDMI/DVI INPUT (High-Definition Multimedia Interface/Digital VisualInterface) Provides an uncompressed digital interface that carries both videoand audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI is basedon Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is alsocompatible with DVI devices.Notes: The HDMI/DVI jack is not intended to be used with a computer.If you connect a device with a DVI jack to the HDMI/DVI input, you’llneed an HDMI to DVI adapter. Also, since DVI only carries the videosignal, you’ll need to connect audio cables to an input that is not in use.An example is shown on page 16. Then go to the Audio Connectionsmenu and select DVI Audio Input to choose the input you’re using toreceive audio.G-LINK
