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 22.
OPTICAL/SPDIF CABLE
Optical/SPDIF cables transmit audio signals as
pulses of light through a cable made of plastic
bers. Audio signals are digitally transmitted
between devices.
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.
