Connecting an A/V Receiver – Audio Only
The audio connections options to your A/V receiver or home theater
receiver are:
Optical SPDIF: Connect the optical SPDIF cable to the
OPTICAL
SPDIF
connector on the cable terminal and the corresponding
connector on the A/V receiver.
Coaxial SPDIF: Connect the digital audio cable to the
SPDIF
connector on the cable terminal and the corresponding connector
on the A/V receiver.
Stereo audio
R and L: Connect the stereo audio cable to the
AUDIO
R and L connectors on the cable terminal and the
corresponding connectors on the A/V receiver.
If you’re A/V receiver supports it, use the OPTICAL SPDIF or coaxial SPDIF
outputs on the cable terminal instead of its stereo
AUDIO R and L outputs.
In most cases, S/PDIF offers better audio quality, including support for
Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.
For information on configuring your cable terminal settings, see
“Optimizing Your Cable Terminal for High Definition TV.”
