Before You Start!

What is Digital Output (S/PDIF)?
S/PDIF is a method to output digital sound and is also called Digital Output.
If you connect a 5.1 channel speaker system to the S/PDIF jack, you can enjoy audio without distortion since the signal is
transferred digitally.
5.1 channel surround sound consists of 6 speakers in total: center, front left/right, rear left/right, and woofer.
Since a woofer speaker is a special speaker for bass output only, we call the system a 5.1 channel system and a 6
channel system.
