If your equipment supports it:
• The digital audio optical (OPTICAL S/PDIF) or digital audio (COAXIAL S/PDIF)
audio outputs may be used in place of the stereo audio outputs (AUDIO L and R).
In most cases these outputs offer a higher level of audio quality, including
support for Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.
• S-Video connections may be used in place of the standard composite video
connections. In most cases, S-Video offers a higher level of standard definition
video quality than composite video.
These video connection methods do not support HD video. If you have an HDTV, see
Connecting your DCH Receiver to an HDTV — Video Only on page 19.
