Digital Audio. The receiver includes a Digital Audio Out jack for compatibility with Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio. To use this feature, you will need an optical audio cable

(not supplied), and a device that accepts Dolby Digital input. The optical audio cable will carry the audio signal. To complete the setup, you'll also need a connection for the video signal. You can use an S-Video cable to make the connection (for the best video signal), or the yellow ends of a composite cable. If you use a composite cable, you do not need to connect the red and white ends of the cable.

Ordinarily, your recorder produces tones to indicate when certain buttons on the remote control are pressed or to indicate signal strength when you are positioning your dish. If you use Digital Audio Out, you will not hear these tones.
