Reference: Pillow Speaker Setup
The pillow speaker will only be functional after the Express Script/Custom Master TV Setup and/or
cloning/USB configuration procedures are complete.
Note: When Installer Menu item 027 HOSPITAL MODE is set to 254 (factory default value), there is no
power (voltage) supplied to the pillow speaker interface.

Connecting a Pillow Speaker to the TV
Connect the pillow speaker (see example at right) to the PILLOW
SPEAKER interface on the rear jack panel of the TV.
Caution: Use a pillow speaker that is a UL recognized
pendant control bearing the warning: “Risk of re if used in
oxygen enriched atmosphere. Keep pendant control away
from oxygen equipment.”
Controlling the TV with Serial Data
These TV models are capable of being controlled by a single-wire, serial
data signal. This is an LG patented technology and is being implemented
by certain brands of “smart” pillow speakers.
Pillow Speaker Interface
This connector provides an interface for patient-pendant remote control or
entertainment audio and nurse call systems. All lines are isolated from the
AC power line and earth ground (a transformer isolates the DC supply,
optocouplers isolate the control lines, and a transformer isolates the audio).
For positive voltage configurations (e.g., for Zenith/Philips pillow speakers),
+12 volts/+5 volts is provided on pin 3 (Channel Up/Data In) in reference
to pin 4 (Common). For negative voltage configurations (e.g., for RCA
pillow speakers), +5 volts is provided on pin 4 in reference to pin 3.
The following table describes the pillow speaker interface pinout (see
also diagram at right).
Pin No. Description
1 Analog external control for TV ON/OFF.
2 No connection
3 Analog external control for Channel Up or Serial Data In.
4 Common connection for control, data, and audio output.
5 Isolated Audio Output. Nominal 14 ohm source impedance with
short circuit protection. Audio level control provided by an external
low-impedance, pad-type volume control or serial data Volume
Up/Down keys.
6 Analog external control for Channel Down.
Controlling the TV with Mechanical Switches
A typical analog pillow speaker with mechanical switches will momentarily
connect pin 1, 3, or 6 to pin 4 (Common) to control Power ON/OFF,
Channel Up, or Channel Down (see schematic at right). These pins are at
+13 volts DC (when measured from pin 4) with the switches open. Typical
current draw is 8 mA when a switch is closed. (This operation is identical
to previous models using the 5-wire interface, except that only +7 volts
DC was supplied and current draw was only 2.5 mA.)
