S/PDIF

S/PDIF is a standard audio file transfer format that transfers digital

audio signals to a device without having to be converted first to

an analog format. This prevents the quality of the audio signal

from degrading whenever it is converted to analog. S/PDIF is usu-

ally found on digital audio equipment such as a DAT machine or

audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on the system

board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal outputs to am-

plifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like CD re-

corders.

6-channel Audio

The center/bass and rear out jacks which supports four audio

output signals: center channel, subwoofer, rear right channel and

rear left channel; together with the line-out (2-channel) jack sup-

port 6-channel audio output.
