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.
