Connecting an A/V Receiver, TV, and VCR If your equipment supports it:
• The optical (square SPDIF connector) or coaxial (round SPDIF
connector) 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 Dolby Digital 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.
