Digital Powered Speakers

You can install a digital audio system with up to two front speakers, two surround speakers, two surround back speakers, a center speaker, and a subwoofer to your HP Digital Entertainment Center.

Do not connect analog multichannel speaker outputs if you connect the digital output.

You can connect either the coaxial or optical digital audio cable, depending on your system. If you have both cables, connect one cable only.

Insert optical cords straight in until they click into place.

Do not bend or tie optical cords.
