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.
