Sorry for unclarity. I would like to know how to do:
1. Stereo speakers
2. A 5.1 speaker set
3. A PC or laptop
4. How to tune with presets. The TV is a LG47LE8500
Joe--thx
Generally, stereo speakers can be done by connecting amplified speakers to the headphone out. And a PC or laptop (to use the TV as kind of a monitor) via HDMI. A 5.1 speaker set might be more difficult.
But all available connections should be available in the user manual. I don't have that. You do. If you can't find it out yourself, please provide a link to that manual.
Same, of course, about how presets work. That certainly is in the manual.

This is where you have to dive in and check the manuals for the suggested connections. And THERE'S THE ISSUE!!!
Just last week I setup some HDTV and there was FIVE CHOICES alone for the DVD and Audio connections. While it seemed overkill in choices it didn't take long to figure out that I had the cables for just 2 of the five options.
I tried the first and it worked so I moved on to the next device.
