DCT6200/DCT6208 User Guide

Connecting an A/V Receiver – Audio Only

There are three options available for audio connections to your A/V receiver:

•Optical (OPTICAL SPDIF)

•Coaxial (SPDIF)

•Stereo audio (AUDIO R and L)

If your equipment supports it, the optical (OPTICAL SPDIF) or coaxial

(SPDIF) audio outputs may be used in place of the stereo audio outputs

(AUDIO R and L). In most cases these outputs offer a higher level of audio quality, including support for 5.1 surround sound.

•Optical SPDIF: Connect the optical SPDIF cable to the OPTICAL SPDIF connector on the DCT* and the OPTICAL connector on the A/V receiver.

•SPDIF: Connect the digital audio cable to the SPDIF connector on the DCT* and the DIGITAL INPUT COAX connector on the A/V receiver.

•Stereo audio: Connect the stereo audio cable to the AUDIO R and L connectors on the DCT* and the AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT connectors on the A/V receiver.

For information on configuring your DCT* settings, see “Optimizing Your DCT* Output Settings”.
