Connecting digital audio devices
Some audio devices may feature a digital audio output for optimum sound performance. Use
an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable, as appropriate, to connect this output to the
digital input on the media center. You can purchase the required cables at a local electronics
store.
On the media center rear panel, an optical digital cable connects to the OPTICAL jack. A
coaxial cable connects to the audio input jacks labeled D.
Note:
Before you can benefit from the optical connection, you will need to assign the optical
connector to the audio source in the system settings menu. See “Media center options” on
page 49.

Connecting your cable/satellite box, TV, and VCR to the media center
The 3•2•1 home entertainment system provides flexibility for you to add up to three external
audio devices, including your TV, directly to the media center.
Figure 17 shows you an advanced setup using a TV, VCR and cable/satellite box. In this
setup, please notice the following:
S-video connections are used to deliver the cable/satellite signal to the media center.
Therefore, the media center output video is sent to the TV also through an S-video
connection.
Analog and digital coax audio connections are shown for the cable/satellite box. As an
option, you may use an optical digital connection. However, before you can benefit from the
optical connection, you will need to assign the optical connector to the cable/satellite box
audio source in the system settings menu. See “Media center options” on page 49.
When connecting an audio device to the media center jacks, remember to match the red
jack to the right channel (R) and the white (or black) jack to the left channel (L).
For further details on making the video connections between your VCR and TV, refer to the
manuals for these video devices.
