This diagram shows the base audio and video connections between the DCT5100 and an HDTV
using the YPbPr component video connection. You should use this audio configuration only if your
HDTV has built-in speakers and you do not intend to include a stereo or Home Theater receiver in
your configuration.
If your HDTV supports either optical (Optical SPDIF) or coaxial (SPDIF) digital audio connections,
these connections 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.
