Connecting to the Audio System
The Hydra supports AC-3 (Dolby Digital 5.1 channel). To enjoy multi-channel surround-sound, the content
source must carry multi-channel AC-3 signal. Please refer to your service provider for availability of AC-3
5.1 programs.
You can enjoy multi-channel surround-sound such as 5.1 channel by connecting the Hydra to an amplifier
compatible with Dolby Digital. You can connect to your amplifier by either using the 75ohm digital audio
coaxial output or the digital optical audio output.
Figure 6-1 Connecting Hydra to Audio System
Consult your audio system user guide for connections. Take necessary precautions when working with

equipment to prevent injury.
For details on using and setting-up AC-3 with the Hydra, please refer to section 13.1 - AC-3 (Dolby Digital
5.1 Channel)
WARNING: When connecting via the digital coaxial or optical audio output to a TV or A/V decoder that
does not have Dolby Digital decoding capability, be sure to set AC-3 off to avoid damage to equipment.
