Audio Connection Options

Connect the stereo audio cable to the
DCT3080 and the audio left and right connectors on the TV. If the
equipment supports it, use the
output instead of the
outputs offer better audio quality, including support for 5.1 Surround
Sound.
When connecting to a home theater receiver, depending on its inputs,
you can use the following DCT3080 audio outputs:
OPTICAL SPDIF OR
COAXIAL SPDIF
BASEBAND
AUDIO R AND L
The cabling diagrams show sample audio/video (A/V) connections to an
audio receiver, where the receiver functions as an A/V router. When
connecting to an audio receiver, reference its installation instructions for
directions on connecting to baseband and SPDIF ports.
The VCR and TV receive their A/V signals from the currently selected
input device on the audio receiver. This is important when the subscriber
has another A/V device such as a DVD player, a secondary VCR, a CD
player, or other electronic component. We recommend connecting the
TV to the monitor output so on-screen menus for the receiver can be
displayed. (In many cases, the receivers themselves have interactive
on-screen menus.)
OPTICAL SPDIF
and
AUDIO R
If the receiver supports it, use the
audio output to deliver Dolby AC-3 audio to a Dolby
SPDIF
Digital home theater receiver.
If the audio receiver does not support Dolby Digital, use the
baseband
AUDIO R
receiver.
