you can get the manual from the panasonic website which includes this info... as i recall from skimming through the manual (just ordered this tv and i'm waiting for it to come in) it definitely has an optical output and i'm sure it has a standard RCA stereo output

No, there's no sound output. But there are some models that have it (can't give you some specific product, but I came accross some of them on Amazon)

I didn't see any ouptput audio options so I contacted the company and they said the only output is HDMI. To get a separate audio out J-Tech recommended I purchase this unit plus an "Audio extractor" which takes HDMI in and outputs HDMI plus SPDIF/RCA Stereo.

No, you cannot connect directly to external speakers. The TV has a digital optical audio output which can be connected to devices like soundbars, some Blue-ray players or audio receivers, etc that are equipped with audio optical inputs.

No, there is no audio output on this projector. For best audio you would need to run you audio into a AV receiver, to run audio to external speakers or sourround sound, then run an HDMI, VGA or compenent cable to the Projector for the video.

They use speaker wire, not RCA cables, to connect to an audio source. Few TVs have output for external speakers, so your TV will need to be hooked up to an audio receiver, with RCA cables, then you're going to hook up the speakers to the audio receiver with speaker wire.

There appears to be an earphone jack at the rear of the TV. I connected my earphone plug, but no sound came through to the earphone. I have a Vizio 26" E260MV which has an earphone jack to the rear of the TV. The sound is better than what you get through the speakers.

yes, it has audio input. I am not techie but I use the audio input to connect my laptop to the TV so that I get the sound from the laptop speakers and from the TV. I haven't tried yet to use the output to connect speakers to increase the volume of the TV but it does have audio output as well.

Hi, as far as I can see, you can't hook it up as a component to another system. On the back I can only see hook ups for external speakers. I don't see any other output/input ports. Hope that answers your question.

Look for any inputs labeled "Output" on your television set or home theater system* and report back! =^)

It's hooked up via HDMI cable to a LCD flatscreen TV. We haven't been able to get the sound from regular TV programming to come through the surround sound speakers though. DVD/blueray/CD sound is okay through the surround sound.

connect it to the red and white audio out ports... when connected to these everything connected to the tv can play thru the system, haven't had a single issue

Yes it has an hdmi out. I can't get the sound to work on the tv yet but the video will play. I think I just need to download the proper driver for it.

the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver.The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide shows that.The optical cables are really cheap anyhow on Amazon so it shouldn't be a problem. the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver.The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide... » Read More the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver.The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide shows that.The optical cables are really cheap anyhow on Amazon so it shouldn't be a problem. « Show Less

the out put from computer has to be converted to rca input and I am not sure if TV sets have an output.

Hello.While this unit has no HDMI pass through or inputs/outputs on the back, it does have an optical-in which will allow the TV Optical-out to the receiver. You can then have TV sound out to the speakers.I hope this helps.
