You can connect up to four additional speakers to the back
of your TV-two to the EXTERNALSPEAKERSterminals and
two more to the SURROUNDSPEAKERSterminals. If you
connect a stereo amplifier or receiver to your TV, you may
prefer to connect two speakers to the amplifier or receiver
instead of the EXTERNALSPEAKERSterminals on the TV. To
obtain the surround-sound effects, connect two speakers to
the SURROUNDSPEAKERSterminals on the back of the TV and
position them at the rear of your viewing area, elevated to
standing head level. You may wish to connect a stereo
amplifier or receiver to the SURRAUDIOjacks to get a
volume level of surround sound audio that is higher than
the SURROUNDSPEAKERSterminals will allow. Details for
obtaining best surround sound are on pages 16-17.
SPEAKER
EXTERNAL _ INTERNAL
When you connect speakers to the EXTERNALSPEAKERS
terminals, be sure to move the SPEAKERswitch (located
directly below the terminals) to the EXTERNALposition.
When the SPEAKERswitch is in the EXTERNALposition, the
TV's internal speakers are turned off and sound will then
come through the external speakers you connected to the
EXTERNALSPEAKERSterminals. Return this switch to the
iNTERNALposition if external speakers are ever disconnected
from the TV.
If you want to connect an amplifier to your TV with its
own set of speakers attached to it, you can turn off the
TV's speakers with the SPEAKERSON/OFFmenu display as
described on page 11. Setting this display to OFFwill turn
off the TV's internal speakers and any speakers connected
to the EXTERNALSPEAKERSterminals. Speakers connected to
the SURROUNDSPEAKERSterminals will remain on, so you'll
be able to create surround sound effects when using the
amplifier.
Caution: Do not connect external speakers to
more than one audio source at a time. You
can connect a set of speakers to either the
TV or the amplifier but not to both at the
same time. If you connect the same
speakers to both the TV and the amplifier
(or to more than one set of terminals), you
will probably damage your equipment.
ConnectingSpeakersto Back of Amplifier or Receiver
If you connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV, connect
the speakers to the amplifier/receiver instead of the TV.
Sound from the TV will then come through the
amplifier/receiver. You can also connect additional
surround speakers to the back of the TV, if desired.
The diagram below shows how to connect external
speakers to the speaker terminals on the back of a typical
amplifier/receiver. Check the owner's manual for your
amplifier/receiver if its speaker terminals look different
than those shown below.
Notes: After connecting speaker wire, pull it gently and check that it is
connected securely to its terminals.
Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its terminal or contact other
wires or terminals. If the cores of two wires touch each other, damage to
components could result.

2nd Set of Speakers
Connect to B Terminals
Important: When connecting the speaker wire, make sure you connect
the (+) terminal on the amplifier or receiver to the (+) terminal on the
speaker. One side of the speaker wire is usually marked with a white
stripe to help you connect (+) to (+) and (-) to (-). If the (+) and (-)
terminals are not matched properly, the speakers will not be "in phase"
causing reduction in low frequencies (bass).
