Tip
:
Inserting a plug in the headphone jack disables the sound from the TV’s
built-‐in speakers.
Warning:
Loud noise can damage your hearing. When using headphones, use the lowest volume
setting on your headphones that still lets you hear the sound.
Select models also have an audio line out connection that is not affected by TV volume or mute settings
and does not disable the TV speakers. Use this connection when you want to use your amplifier or
sound bar to control the TV volume. To turn off the TV’s built-‐in speakers, in the
Home
screen menu,
navigate to
Settings > Audio > TV speakers
and change the setting.
Connecting an AV receiver or digital sound bar
You can enjoy Dolby Digital multichannel sound from your TV if you connect a digital amplifier
or sound bar (not provided) in either of two ways:
•
Digital optical audio out (S/PDIF)
– Connect a TOSLINK optical cable (not provided)
from the TV to the Optical input on your receiver or sound bar.
•
HDMI
®
ARC
– Connect an HDMI
®
cable (not provided) from the HDMI (ARC) connector
to the HDMI
®
input on your receiver or sound bar. This connection uses the Audio
Return Channel (ARC) feature of the HDMI
®
specification to output sound from the TV
to a compatible device. To use this feature, you must configure the TV to enable HDMI
®
ARC, as explained in “
Enabling HDMI®
ARC” on page

Preparing for Internet connectivity
If you want to connect your TV to the Internet to watch streaming content, you can choose either a
wireless or a wired connection.
