Home theater configuration Your TV has several features that make it an ideal TV for a home theater. But you might not notice them because they remain in the background until you decide to use them. Turning off the TV speakers for home theater use When you use your TV with a sound bar or an external amplifier and speakers, you'll probably want to turn off the internal TV speakers. To turn off the TV's built-in speakers, in the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Audio > TV speakers and change the setting. Tip: The TV's internal speakers can be enabled and disabled automatically as needed by system audio control, as described in Enable system audio control. Using the headphone jack also turns off the internal speakers. Setting up a digital audio connection To take advantage of your TV's advanced audio capabilities, connect it to an external amplifier, receiver, or sound bar by using either of these two digital audio connections: • HDMI ARC - The HDMI® Audio Return Channel enables the TV to output digital audio on one of its HDMI® connectors. The connected amplifier can also function simultaneously as an input source to the TV, if needed. To use the ARC capability, you must connect an HDMI® cable from your amplifier's HDMI® ARC connector to the HDMI ARC connector on the TV. You also must: o Be sure your HDMI® cable is certified by HDMI®. o Enable HDMI ARC under Settings > System > Control other devices (CEC), as explained in Enable HDMI® ARC. • SPDIF optical - The SPDIF optical connector outputs a digital audio signal. To use the optical output, connect a TOSLINK optical cable from the amplifier to the Optical or SPDIF connector on the TV. Note: Dolby Audio™ supporting Dolby Digital Plus™ format is not available through the SPDIF optical output. This format is only available through the HDMI® ARC connection. After making the required HDMI® ARC or SPDIF optical connection, go to Settings > Audio > S/PDIF and ARC option and select the audio format to use. Note: In most cases, Auto detect is the best option. Other settings can result in no sound when the content you are viewing does not contain the audio stream type you selected. 104 HDMI (ARC) DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (S/PDIF)

Home theater configuration
Your TV has several features that make it an ideal TV for a home theater. But you might not
notice them because they remain in the background until you decide to use them.
Turning off the TV speakers for home theater use

want to turn off the internal TV speakers.

amplifier, receiver, or sound bar by using either of these two digital audio connections:
HDMI ARC
– The HDMI® Audio Return Channel enables the TV to output
digital audio on one of its HDMI® connectors. The connected amplifier can also
function simultaneously as an input source to the TV, if needed. To use the ARC
capability, you must connect an HDMI® cable from your amplifier’s HDMI® ARC
connector to the
HDMI ARC
connector on the TV. You also must:
