How to Connect an Optical Cable
- 1). Plug one end of the optical cable into the optical cable port of the receiving device you are using. Optical cable ports are often marked by a "Digital" or "Optical" label. If there are no labels, the port can be identified by its square top and round bottom.
- 2). Plug the other end of the optical cable into the optical cable port of the source device you are using.
- 3). Turn on both the receiving device and the source device.
- 4). Operate the devices as you would normally to test the audio quality. Depending on the devices you are using, additional configuratiosn might be needed to allow them to output an optical audio signal.
