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 connector) or coaxial (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.

Optical SPDIF: Connect the optical SPDIF cable to the OPTICAL SPDIF connector on the set-top and to the OPTICAL connector on the A/V receiver.

SPDIF (coaxial): Connect the digital audio cable to the SPDIF connector on the set-top and to 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 set-top and to the AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT connectors on the A/V receiver.

For information on configuring your set-top settings, see “Optimizing Your Set-Top for High-Definition TV.”
