is is a type of digital audio interconnect which uses an RCA style cable. Single coax video cables may be
colored white or yellow; the component bundle may be colored red-green-blue. Coax can also carry a
digital audio signal called SP/DIF.
S-Video: S-Video is a cable that separates the color portion of the video signal from the black and white portions.
It is typically colored with a yellow or black tip.

are analog and a stereo 2 channel signal is carried on RCA style connectors. Usually, these cables are
colored red and white.

between the HDMI Audio output of the Wolf Cinema’s ProScaler and an HDMI input on your receiver/processor.
If your AV Receiver does not have an HDMI input, then you will need to connect and associate each device’s audio output
with the appropriate inputs on your receiver/processor.
