How to Hook Up Fiber-Optic Audio Cables
- 1). Turn off the power to the audio amplifier or receiver, and the source component.
- 2). Turn the volume on the audio amplifier or receiver to zero, using the volume control knob on the front of the unit, or its remote control.
- 3). Insert the connector on one end of the fiber-optic cable into the optical input jack at the rear of the amp or receiver. Note that the orientation of the connector must match the outline of the input jack.
- 4). Plug the connector at other end of the fiber-optic cable into the optical output jack of the source component.
- 5). Turn on the power to both devices, and adjust the volume to the desired level.
