Connecting digital speaker systems (Home Theater)
The Xonar HDAV Slim supports Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive
technologies, which transcode any audio, including games and music, into
industry-standard Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 surround bit-streams. This makes
playback through your home theater system possible, creating an immersive and
impressive cinema surround sound experience. A single digital cable connection
can carry high-quality Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 digital audio from any of your PC
audio sources to any digital speakers or AV Receivers with Dolby Digital or DTS
5.1 decoding capabilities.
You can also use a coaxial cable for a S/PDIF connection. Just plug the coaxial
RCA male connector to the S/PDIF-Out combo port and connect the other end
into the coaxial S/PDIF input on your decoder.
