Figure 14. Back Panel Audio Connectors for 6-Channel Audio with Jack Sensing

Multi-Channel Analog Audio

Connect two speakers to the front left/right out (B) and two speakers to the rear left/right out (A) for both 4- and 6-channel audio configurations. For 6-channel audio, connect two additional speakers to the center-LFE (C).

Multi-Channel Digital Audio

To take advantage of the S/PDIF functionality, a 1/8-inch stereo phone plug to RCA jack adapter/splitter is required to convert from the stereo input to RCA connection. Connect the stereo input side of the adapter to the S/PDIF (B) connector, and connect the speaker system or S/PDIF decoder to the RCA jack left channel (white, if colored).
