3 CONNECTING AN AUDIO DEVICE - AUDIO CABLE TYPES RCA 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 connectors. 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. 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.

connected HDMI cable, eliminating the need
for a separate audio cable. See

pulses of light through a cable made of plastic
fibers. Audio signals are digitally transmitted
between devices.
