Creative SB0060 - Sound Blaster Live User Manual page 15

It is recommended that you use the
MIDI In connector of the Digital
I/O card to connect a MIDI input
device and thus dedicate the
Joystick/MIDI connector on the
Sound Blaster Live! card to
joystick use. You can use only one
of the MIDI input ports of the
connected cards at a time.
Your Digital I/O card has these jacks and connectors which allow you to attach other devices:
Digital DIN connector
Connects to a future digital input/output
audio device supporting multiple
speakers.
SPDIF In RCA jack
SPDIF Out RCA jack
Connects to an external digital device
such as a Digital Audio Tape (DAT)

recorder that supports SPDIF.
Mini MIDI ln DIN connector
Connects to a MIDI input device.
Mini MIDI Out DIN connector
