Tip: Even when you use S/PDIF for audio, the TV can correctly detect more audio formats if you connect an HDMI® cable between the TV's HDMI ARC or HDMI eARC port and the receiver's ARC or eARC port. Choosing an audio format After making the required HDMI® ARC, eARC, or S/PDIF optical connection, go to Settings > Audio > S/PDIF and ARC option and select the audio format to use. Choosing Auto detect is the easy solution, and generally provides good results. However, if you have a high-end sound system and want to make sure you are getting the best sound quality available in the programs you are watching, you can choose another setting. • Auto detect - Automatically detects the incoming audio format and transcodes it to a compatible available format for the audio output (ARC, eARC, or S/PDIF). • Auto passthrough - Passes through the input audio to the connected receiver without transcoding, sometimes resulting in better audio quality especially for high-end audio formats such as those that take advantage of the higher bandwidth of eARC, including Dolby MAT and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1, among others. • PCM-Stereo - Always outputs pulse-code modulated stereo, regardless of input audio format. • Dolby Digital - Converts all input formats to Dolby Digital. • Dolby Digital Plus - Converts all input formats to Dolby Digital Plus. • Dolby Digital - DTS - Converts all inputs except DTS to Dolby Digital. If DTS is detected and the receiver supports DTS, passes through the DTS audio without modification. • Dolby Digital Plus - DTS - Converts all input formats except DTS to Dolby Digital Plus. If DTS is detected and the receiver supports DTS, passes through the DTS audio without modification. Note: DTS audio formats are meant to be used with ARC, eARC, or S/PDIF connections to a DTS-capable home theater receiver. If you use one of the DTS options with the TV speakers, you might not hear any audio. 119

Tip:
Even when you use S/PDIF for audio, the TV can correctly detect more audio
formats if you connect an HDMI® cable between the TV’s
HDMI ARC
or
HDMI  eARC
port
and the receiver’s ARC or eARC port.
Choosing an audio format
After making the required HDMI® ARC, eARC, or S/PDIF optical connection, go to
Settings > Audio > S/PDIF and ARC
option and select the audio format to use.
Choosing
Auto detect
is the easy solution, and generally provides good results. However, if
you have a high-end sound system and want to make sure you are getting the best sound
quality available in the programs you are watching, you can choose another setting.
•
Auto detect
– Automatically detects the incoming audio format and transcodes it to a
compatible available format for the audio output (ARC, eARC, or S/PDIF).
•
Auto passthrough
– Passes through the input audio to the connected receiver without
transcoding, sometimes resulting in better audio quality especially for high-end audio
formats such as those that take advantage of the higher bandwidth of eARC, including
Dolby MAT and Dolby Digital Plus 7.1, among others.
•
PCM-Stereo
– Always outputs pulse-code modulated stereo, regardless of input audio
format.
•
Dolby Digital
– Converts all input formats to Dolby Digital.
•
Dolby Digital Plus
– Converts all input formats to Dolby Digital Plus.
•
Dolby Digital – DTS
– Converts all inputs except DTS to Dolby Digital. If DTS is detected
and the receiver supports DTS, passes through the DTS audio without modification.
•
Dolby Digital Plus – DTS
– Converts all input formats except DTS to Dolby Digital
Plus. If DTS is detected and the receiver supports DTS, passes through the DTS audio
without modification.
Note:
DTS audio formats are meant to be used with ARC, eARC, or S/PDIF connections
to a DTS-capable home theater receiver. If you use one of the DTS options with the TV
speakers, you might not hear any audio.
