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.

•S-video connections may be used in place of the standard RCA video connections. In most cases, S-video offers a higher level of standard definition video quality than RCA video.

The video connection method does not support HD video. For more information, see “Connecting your DCT* to an HDTV – Video Only” on page 18.
