Connecting an audio system

If you purchased a sound system with your Family Media Center, use the setup poster and other documentation that was included with the sound system to set it up.

If you have an existing stereo or home theater, you can connect your Media Center to an existing sound system. Use:

•1/8” stereo to RCA plug Y-cables to connect the Family Media Center to an analog sound system.

•1/8” stereo to 1/8” stereo plug to connect the Family Media Center to digital audio inputs (S/PDIF).

•Toslink digital cable to connect your Family Media Center to digital audio inputs (S/PDIF).
