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 15.
OPTICAL/SPDIF CABLE
Optical/SPDIF cables transmit audio signals as
pulses of light through a cable made of plastic
fibers. Audio signals are digitally transmitted
between devices.
RCA OR 3.5MM CABLE
AV 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 or 3.5mm connectors.
