CONNECTING AN AUDIO DEVICE - AUDIO CABLE TYPES

HDMI CABLE

HDMI technology transmits crystal-clear digital

multi-channel surround audio through a single

HDMI cable. Audio Return Channel-enabled

(ARC) TVs allow audio to be sent over an already

connected HDMI cable, eliminating the need

for a separate audio cable. See

Connecting an

Audio Device - ARC on page 17.

OPTICAL/SPDIF CABLE

Optical/SPDIF cables transmit audio signals as

pulses of light through a cable made of plastic

fibers. Audio signals are digitally transmitted

between devices.

RCA CABLE

AV cables (or Composite cables) are the

traditional way of connecting your devices to

your audio device. Audio signals are sent over

the red and white connectors.
