7 CONNECTING YOUR DCH RECEIVER

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

Note: Only (1) HDTV video connection needs to be made to an HDTV.

Connecting an A/V Receiver — Audio

There are three 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 (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.
