DIGITAL AUDIO OUT/OPTICAL and COAXIAL
Use one of these jacks to connect your DVD Player to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. Some receivers have either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL type of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial connections work equally well — the only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.
If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL jack if your receiver has a Coaxial Input Jack. Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial digital cables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers. If that is the case, connect an optical cable (sometimes called SPDIF) to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT/OPTICAL jack on the DVD Player and a compatible Digital Input Optical Jack on the receiver.
