When connecting your system, there are any
variety of configurations that will work, and these
methods will vary based on user preference.
Some users will choose to route all sources (such

Digital Coaxial: Digital coaxial utilizes one cable to pass digital audio information
However, a cable designed specifically for digital coaxial connections should be employed—do not
use a standard left/right analog RCA style cable because it will likely not be up to the task of han-
dling the high bit-rate necessary for a reliable digital connection.
Left/Right Analog RCA: Left/right analog RCA cables are used to pass audio infor-
required to reproduce multi-channel audio and thus should not be used with source components where
you desire surround sound output. Older gaming consoles, portable media player docks, VCRs and
similar source components (which are not capable of playing multi-channel encoded content) will
often offer connection only through left/right analog RCA cables. Additionally, users may find source
components such as digital media player docks that utilize a special cable with a 3.5mm 'headphone
style' jack on one end, and two analog RCA connectors on the opposite end.

channel encoded digital audio between a source component and television or
receiver. Your soundbar is not equipped with an HDMI input. However, in
many installations you will want to use HDMI to connect a video source com-
ponent to your television (to pass video) and an additional digital optical or
digital coaxial cable (to pass audio) to the soundbar.
Digital Optical: Digital optical utilizes one cable to pass digital audio
information (no video). A digital optical cable offers a high-quality digital
connection and passes multi-channel encoded audio between a source com-
ponent and an audio output device.

passes multi-channel encoded audio between a source component and an
audio output device. Please note: The 'RCA' style end of a digital coaxial
cable is identical to those found on common left/right analog RCA cables.
mation (no video). An analog RCA cable can only be used to pass a single
channel of audio information between a source component and audio out-
put device. To achieve two-channels of audio (left/right) you will find that
analog RCA cables come bundled as a stereo pair (2 connectors on each
end). Analog RCA connections are not capable of passing the digital encoding
streamer, etc.) to their television via a digital (opti-
cal or coaxial) connection and use the television
to switch between audio/video sources. The
advantage of this connection method is that only
one audio cable (either a digital optical or digital
coaxial cable) needs to connect between the televi-
