• Check that
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT and/or AUDIO/SURROUND
OUTPUT on TV’s connection panel is connected to the A/V
receiver.
Without this connection, devices connected only to the TV (and
not the A/V receiver) can be heard only from the TV speakers.
Note that this includes the ANT input, a device (such as a
camcorder) connected to the TV, and any other device sending
audio to the TV only.
• If using a NetCommand-controlled A/V receiver, NetCommand
may be selecting the wrong A/V receiver audio input. Check the
A/V receiver’s NetCommand setup in the Inputs > AVR menu.

external to the TV.
• Upgrade a Category 1 (unmarked) HDMI cable to a newer
type of high-speed HDMI cable.
