Playing audio from a TV
(Optical digital output)
ANALOG DIGITAL
If an optical digital output is fitted to your TV, it will
most likely be labeled either OPTICAL, S/PDIF or
TOSLINK™. The socket may have a blanking plug
in it, which must be removed. You should, however,
retain the blanking plug to protect the end of the
optical fibre in the socket should you disconnect
the cable. You will need an optical cable with a
TOSLINK™ plug at one end and an optical mini
jack at the other end to connect to Zeppelin's AUX
socket.
Zeppelin cannot reproduce Dolby Digital or DTS
encoded material. If such programme cannot be
downmixed and output by the TV in digital stereo
PCM format, an analogue connection to Zeppelin
should be used.
The TV's own speakers should be switched off
by selecting "mute" from its remote handset when
Zeppelin is in use. The audio signal output from the
TV to Zeppelin will be at a fixed volume level and
not controlled by the TV's remote handset volume
buttons. So volume is controlled by Zeppelin's own
volume controls.
