Audio Connections for an A/V Receiver
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
) or coaxial (
SPDIF
) 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 5.1 surround sound.
To connect your audio connections for an A/V receiver, choose one of the following:
•
Optical SPDIF
: Connect the optical SPDIF cable to the
OPTICAL SPDIF
connector on the DCT6200
and the
OPTICAL
connector on the A/V receiver.
•
SPDIF
: Connect the digital audio cable to the
SPDIF
connector on the DCT6200 and the
DIGITAL
INPUT COAX
connector on the A/V receiver.
•
Stereo audio
: Connect the stereo audio cable to the
AUDIO OUT R
and
L
connectors on the DCT6200
and the
AUDIO RIGHT
and
AUDIO LEFT
connectors on the A/V receiver.
