Connecting Your TV to an audio/Video receiver
For better sound quality than the TV’s internal speakers, connect to an audio receiver using audio
cables to the TV’s AUDIO OUTPUT jacks.
• Use the FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT for a more advanced connection. Connect the
FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUTS from the TV to an A/V receiver using audio cables.
Be sure to go to the Fixed/Variable Out screen in the Advanced Audio menu and select whether
you want the FIXED/VARIABLE AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to send fixed or variable volume audio.
• Variable Output provides variable-level audio output. Volume levels are controlled by the
TV’s volume.
• Fixed Output provides fixed-level audio output from the TV. This audio output is ideal for
connecting to an A/V receiver that has its own volume control.
