Connecting an A/V Receiver – Audio Only
The audio connections options to your A/V receiver or home theater
receiver are:
• Optical SPDIF: Connect the optical SPDIF cable to the OPTICAL
SPDIF connector on the cable terminal and the corresponding
connector on the A/V receiver.
• Coaxial SPDIF: Connect the digital audio cable to the SPDIF
connector on the cable terminal and the corresponding connector
on the A/V receiver.
• Stereo audio R and L: Connect the stereo audio cable to the
AUDIO R and L connectors on the cable terminal and the
corresponding connectors on the A/V receiver.
If you’re A/V receiver supports it, use the OPTICAL SPDIF or coaxial SPDIF
outputs on the cable terminal instead of its stereo AUDIO R and L outputs.
In most cases, S/PDIF offers better audio quality, including support for
Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.

“Optimizing Your Cable Terminal for High Definition TV.”
