    Connecting to an audio system
    Use an external audio system instead of the built-
    in speaker.
     yIf you use an external audio device 
    instead of the built-in speaker, set the TV 
    speaker feature to off (See p.73).
    NOTE
    Digital optical audio connection
    Transmits the digital audio signal from the TV to an 
    external device. Connect the external device and 
    the TV with the optical audio cable as shown in the 
    following illustration.
     yDo not look into the optical output port. 
    Looking at the laser beam may damage 
    your vision.
    NOTE
     yAvoid keeping a fixed image on the set’s 
    screen for prolonged periods of time. The 
    fixed image may become permanently 
    imprinted on the screen; use a screen 
    saver when possible.
     yThere may be interference relating to 
    resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or 
    brightness in PC mode. Change the PC 
    mode to another resolution or change the 
    refresh rate to another rate or adjust the 
    brightness and contrast on the menu until 
    the picture is clear. If the refresh rate of 
    the PC graphic card can not be changed, 
    change the PC graphic card or consult the 
    manufacturer of the PC graphic card.
     yThe synchronization input waveform for 
    Horizontal and Vertical frequencies are 
    separate.
     yWe recommend using 1920x1080, 60 
    Hz(Except for 42/50PT****, 42/50PW****, 
    22/26/32LK33**, 19/26/32LV25**, 
    19/22LV23**), 1024x768, 60 Hz(Only 
    42/50PT****, 42/50PW****) 1360 x768, 60 
    Hz(Only 22/26/32LK33**, 19/26/32LV25**, 
    19/22LV23**) for the PC mode, this should 
    provide the best picture quality.
     yConnect the signal cable from the monitor 
    output port of the PC to the RGB (PC) port 
    of the TV or the signal cable from the HDMI 
    output port of the PC to the HDMI IN (or 
    HDMI/DVI IN) port on the TV.
     yConnect the audio cable from the PC to the 
    Audio input on the TV. (Audio cables are 
    not included with the TV).
     yIf using a sound card, adjust PC sound as 
    required.
     yIf the graphic card on the PC does 
    not output analogue and digital RGB 
    simultaneously, connect only one of either 
    RGB or HDMI IN (or HDMI/DVI IN) to 
    display the PC output on the TV.
     yDOS mode may not work depending on the 
    video card if you use an HDMI to DVI cable.
     yIf you use too long an RGB-PC cable, there 
    may be interference on the screen. We 
    recommend using under 5m of cable. This 
    provides the best picture quality.
