Connecting Your DCH Receiver to an A/V Receiver — Audio
Note: Only (1) audio connection needs to be made to an A/V Receiver.
Connecting an A/V Receiver — Audio
There are several options available for audio connections to your A/V receiver:
• Digital audio (OPTICAL S/PDIF)
• Digital audio (COAXIAL S/PDIF)
• Stereo audio (AUDIO L AND R)
• HDMI
If your A/V receiver supports it, the optical (OPTICAL S/PDIF), coaxial (S/PDIF), or
HDMI audio outputs may be used in place of the stereo audio outputs (AUDIO L and
R). In most cases these outputs offer a higher level of audio quality, including
support for Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.
• Digital audio optical (S/PDIF) — Connect the optical cable to the digital audio
optical connector on the DCH receiver and the optical connector on the A/V
receiver.
