Using an optical digital cable, connect an AV receiver to the optical terminal on the rear of the Plasma Display. This allows high-quality audio, such as during a digital TV broadcast, to play. If your AV receiver does not have a digital audio input terminal (optical), connect MONITOR OUT (AUDIO) on the rear of the Plasma Display to the audio input terminals on the AV receiver. This method may cause sound delays between the speakers and AUDIO. Try muting the speakers on the Plasma Display, however, you may still experience a delay between audio and video. NOTE • When using the digital audio output terminal (optical), set according to the AV receiver's requirements. For more information, refer to the AV receiver's operating instructions.
