Connecting your digital audio cable to your home theater can be a daunting task for a novice, but with a few simple steps you can have it connected in no time. The first step is to locate the digital audio output jack on your home theater system.
It will usually be located on the back of the receiver and will either be labeled as an optical or coaxial output. Once you’ve determined which type of output you have, you can then connect your digital audio cable to it.
If you are using an optical connection, then you will need to use an optical cable. This type of cable is made up of two plastic fibers that are encased in a protective jacket.
The two fibers carry the digital audio signal to and from the receiver and the other end should be plugged into your amplifier or soundbar. Make sure to push the connector firmly into place until it clicks.
If you are using a coaxial connection then you will need to use a coaxial cable. This type of cable has a single copper wire that is protected by an insulating layer, and also has shielding around it. To connect this type of cable, simply plug one end into the output jack on your receiver and plug the other end into your amplifier or soundbar.
Once both ends are securely connected, turn on your home theater system and select the input for which you have connected the digital audio cable. Depending on your model, this could either be “optical” or “coaxial” input, depending on which type of connection you used. Now all that’s left is to adjust the settings in order for optimal playback.
Conclusion:
Connecting a digital audio cable to your home theater system is relatively easy once you know where to look for it and what type of connection it requires. With just a few simple steps, anyone can have their home theater system up and running in no time!
