Pcm Setting?

I cannot find the place to change the sound so I can use my digital optical cable with my sound bar. I've read the manual and for some reason this tv doesn't have the option in the sound section where it should be.

Refer to page 56 of the PDF Manual available from this link:

https://www.manualslib.com/l/lg+42pg20c.html

Earlier in the manual is the explanation on how to connect the optical cable from the TV. There is no mention of PCM but there is SP/DIF.

Hope that helps.
