Audio/Video Cabling Diagrams
The DCT5100 is capable of delivering Dolby AC-3 audio to a Dolby Digital stereo receiver using
the SPDIF RCA connector. When connecting to a receiver, you can use the left/right RCA
baseband audio outputs or the SPDIF RCA connection. The connections you use will depend on
the capabilities of the audio receiver. The SPDIF port carries the audio stream in either a PCM
or Dolby AC-3 format. If the subscriber does not have a Dolby Digital receiver, use the baseband
Left/Right audio RCA connections to interface to the audio receiver.
The following illustrations show audio/video connections to a digital receiver, where the receiver
functions as an audio/video router. When connecting the audio path to a digital receiver,
reference your receiver’s installation instructions for directions on connecting to baseband and
SPDIF ports.
