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.

To connect digital audio, your computer must include a Digital Audio Out connector on either the audio card or the back panel. You must connect multichannel speaker outputs if you connect the digital output.

To connect digital audio speakers:

1Turn off the computer.

3Turn on the computer.

NOTE: Always turn on the computer before the speaker system.
