- Optical audio cable
- Source device with an optical audio output (such as a Blu-ray player, game console, or cable box)
- Receiver or amplifier with an optical audio input
Step 2: Connect the optical audio cable
- Plug the first end of the optical audio cable into the optical audio output on the source device.
- Plug the second end of the optical audio cable into the optical audio input on the receiver or amplifier.
Step 3: Turn on the devices and test the audio connection
- Power on the source device and the receiver or amplifier.
- Select the optical audio input on the receiver or amplifier.
- Play some audio content on the source device and check that you can hear it coming out of the speakers connected to the receiver or amplifier.
Here are some additional tips for connecting optical audio cables:
- Make sure that the optical audio cables are fully inserted into the optical audio ports.
- If you are using a curved optical audio cable, make sure that it is bent in a smooth curve, not a sharp angle.
- Avoid kinking or bending the optical audio cables, as this can damage them.
- If you are connecting multiple devices to the same receiver or amplifier, you may need to use an optical audio switch.
