DCT3412 Installation Manual

Connecting to an A/V Receiver – Audio Only

Connect the stereo audio cable to the

AUDIO R

and

L

connectors on the cable terminal and the

corresponding connectors on the HDTV.

If your equipment supports it, use the

OPTICAL SPDIF

or coaxial digital

SPDIF

outputs instead of

the

AUDIO R

and

L

outputs. In most cases, SPDIF offers better audio quality, including support

for Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound.

HDMI and IEEE1394 carry video and audio. If you connect the DCT3412 to your HDTV using
HDMI or IEEE1394, no additional audio connections to the TV are necessary.

For information on configuring your DCT3412 settings, see “Optimizing Your Cable Terminal
for High Definition TV.”
