BConnecting to an AV amplifier (having 5.1ch input jacks or a digital input jack) and 4 to 6 speakers

If your AV amplifier (receiver) has 5.1 channel inputs, use B-1 .

If you want to use the Dolby Digital, MPEG audio, or DTS decoder function on your AV amplifier (receiver), connect to its digital jack using B-2 . With the following connections, you can enjoy a more realistic audio presence in the comfort of your own home.
