Connecting an A/V Receiver — Audio
There are several options available for audio connections to your A/V receiver:
•
Digital audio (OPTICAL S/PDIF)
•
Stereo audio (AUDIO L/R)
If your A/V receiver supports it, the optical (S/PDIF) digital audio output may be used in
place of the stereo audio outputs (audio L/R). This output offers a higher level of audio
quality, including support for Dolby Digital audio.
•
Digital audio optical (S/PDIF) — Connect the optical cable to the digital audio
OPTICAL connector on the set-top and the optical connector on the A/V receiver.
•
Stereo audio — Connect the stereo audio cable to the audio L/R connectors on the
set-top and the audio L/R connectors on the A/V receiver.
For information on configuring your set-top settings, see Configuring the Audio, Video,
and Closed Caption Settings.
