Basic Connection:
• Increasingly, televisions and other devices are providing digital audio outputs. Use the DAC-1 (Digital-to-Analog Con-
verter) to convert the digital information into an analog signal necessary for whole-house audio distribution.
• Works great with Apple TV®as well as other devices with either an optical or digital coax output. Optical and digital
coax cables sold separately. See the diagrams below for more information about these uses.
