Connecting digital audio

(Select models only)

If you have a audio card and you are connecting your home stereo AV receiver via digital out, connect the 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) stereo plug to the Digital Audio Out connector on the audio card. Connect the red RCA stereo plug on the 3.5 mm (1/8-inch) Y adapter cable to the AV receiver’s digital input connector on the AV receiver. If the red RCA stereo plug does not work, try the white stereo plug. Only one of the connectors is needed.
