CONNECTING AN AUDIO DEVICE - AUDIO CABLE TYPES
RCA CABLE
RCA 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.
• Quality Stereo Connection
• 2.0 Channel
• Analog Connection
• Audio Signal Only
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.
• PCM Stream (Lossless)
• Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel
• DTS 5.1 Channel
• Digital Connection
• Audio Signal Only
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 18.
