annoying flicker / abnormal colour).
If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you 
 
xsuspect the version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to confirm the HDMI version and 
request an upgrade.
It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certified cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a

✎
When a digital audio system is connected to the  
xDIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume 
of both the T V and the system. 
5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the T V is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

When the receiver (home theatre) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the T V’s  
xoptical  jack. When the 
T V is receiving a DT V signal, the T V will send 5.1 CH sound to the home theatre receiver. When the source is 
a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is 
connected to the T V via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the home theatre receiver. If you want to 
hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite
