Connecting Your DCH Receiver to an A/V Receiver — Audio

Note: Only (1) audio connection needs to be made to an A/V receiver.

Connecting an A/V Receiver — Audio

There are several options available for audio connections to your A/V receiver:
Digital audio (OPTICAL S/PDIF)
Digital audio (COAXIAL S/PDIF)
Stereo audio (AUDIO L AND R)
HDMI
If your A/V receiver supports it, the optical (S/PDIF), coaxial (S/PDIF), or HDMI audio
outputs may be used in place of the stereo audio outputs (AUDIO L and R). In most
cases these outputs offer a higher level of audio quality, including support for Dolby
Digital 5.1 audio.

Digital audio optical (S/PDIF) — Connect the optical cable to the digital

audio optical connector on the DCH receiver and the optical connector on

the A/V receiver.
