1. Coaxial S/PDIF Input: This RCA connector receives a S/PDIF stereo
signal from an external coaxial S/PDIF device.
2. Coaxial S/PDIF Output: This RCA connector transmits a S/PDIF stereo
signal to an external coaxial S/PDIF device.
3. Optical S/PDIF Input: This TOSlink connector receives an optical
S/PDIF stereo signal from an external optical S/PDIF device.
4. Optical S/PDIF Output: This TOSlink connector transmits an optical
S/PDIF stereo signal to an external optical S/PDIF device.
5. Analog Audio Outputs (Left & Right): These RCA connectors carry the
left and right line-level signals to an external monitoring or mix-down
device. The signal levels of these outputs are compatible with most
consumer gear.
6. Internal CD-ROM headers, Analog: These headers (connectors) accept
analog line-level audio from a CD-ROM player or similar source internal
to the computer. Only one of these headers may be in use at one time.
7. Internal CD-ROM header, Digital: This header (connector) accepts a
digital audio S/PDIF signal from a CD-ROM player or similar source
internal to the computer. This header is wired in parallel to the coaxial
S/PDIF input. Therefore only one of these connectors may be used at a
time.
