Modem connector (RJ-11) Connects the telephone line to the modem connector. IEEE 1394 The IEEE 1394 interface is a serial bus interface standard and enables simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth isochronous (real-time) data interaction between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronics products such as camcorders, VCRs, printers, TVs, and digital cameras. With IEEE 1394-compatible products and systems, you can transfer video or still images without losing quality. Key Features • Digital - Provides better signal quality as it does not require digital-analog-digital conversion. • Connectivity - Uses a thin serial cable that, through the use of repeaters, can be extended to 100 meters or more over CAT5, fiber optic, or coaxial cables. • Easy to use - Eliminates the need for special drivers or perform complicated set-ups. • Hot pluggable - Enables devices to be added and removed while the device and computer are turned on. • Flexible - Allows you to connect devices to each other by daisy-chaining them together, without the need for hubs or switches. Also supports branching, looping, and other topologies, which reduces cabling complexity. Supports up to 64 devices on a single connection. • Fast - Supports delivery of time-critical data at multiple speeds, currently including 100, 200, 400, and 800 Megabits per second over a single continuous cable or bus.

You can connect the S/PDIF output from your computer to the S/PDIF input on your home theater receiver. This connection allows you to set up a 5.1 audio (also known as 6-channel audio) connection.

Connects the telephone line to the modem connector.
IEEE 1394
The IEEE 1394 interface is a serial bus interface standard and enables simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth isochronous (real-time) data
interaction between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronics products such as camcorders, VCRs, printers, TVs, and digital
cameras. With IEEE 1394-compatible products and systems, you can transfer video or still images without losing quality.
Key Features
Digital — Provides better signal quality as it does not require digital-analog-digital conversion.
Connectivity — Uses a thin serial cable that, through the use of repeaters, can be extended to 100 meters or more over CAT5, fiber
optic, or coaxial cables.
Easy to use — Eliminates the need for special drivers or perform complicated set-ups.
Hot pluggable — Enables devices to be added and removed while the device and computer are turned on.
Flexible — Allows you to connect devices to each other by daisy-chaining them together, without the need for hubs or switches. Also
supports branching, looping, and other topologies, which reduces cabling complexity. Supports up to 64 devices on a single
connection.
Fast — Supports delivery of time-critical data at multiple speeds, currently including 100, 200, 400, and 800 Megabits per second over
a single continuous cable or bus. This enables high-quality audio and video applications at low costs.
Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format (S/PDIF)
S/PDIF is a standard for transferring audio in digital format.
You can connect the S/PDIF output from your computer to the S/PDIF input on your home theater receiver. This connection allows you
to set up a 5.1 audio (also known as 6-channel audio) connection.
