Many Panasonic television systems have an optical digital audio jack. This connection allows you to add additional surround-sound speakers to the TV, improving the audio quality of the set while increasing the overall volume you are able to produce. Because the optical digital audio cable is a single connection, the entire hookup process only takes a few minutes to complete.
Step 1
Plug the single optical digital audio cable into the "Digital Audio Out" port, located on the rear of the Panasonic television.
Step 2
Insert the other end of the cable into the "Digital Audio In" port on the Panasonic television receiver. Connect the speakers to the receiver.
Step 3
Power on both the Panasonic television and the connected surround sound receiver.
Step 4
Select "Digital Audio" and the audio from the Panasonic television is produced with the connected surround sound receiver.
