Yamaha RX-V457 S/PDIF input.

[M11293]

On This surround sound receiver, which input is the SPDIF? The specs say it has 2. I am trying to hook my computer into surround sound. I am plan on using this cable.

I am going to use the computers orange audio output, cable it into the receiver. I just don't know which input to use on the receiver.

Thanks guys.

They are the two black ports in the bottom left, directly above the orange one.

You'll probably want something like this instead.

Edit: Whoops, that cable is if you're using optical audio. For what you're doing, you'll plug into the orange port.

Connect it to the orange connector (labeled 3 in the picture) below the two optical ones.

What if I already have my DVD "red right" input in that spot?

Are you talking about optical (the black ports) or coaxial (the orange port) ?

Huh? You have an analogue speaker connection in a digital input?

I am talking about coaxial. And yes I have a red composite plugged into the coaxial input.

I guess I could just move it to the DVD Audio port.

Get that out of there.

Composite != coaxial.

Or any of the three audio/video inputs or the CD or MD/CD-R inputs.

Ok. Thanks.

Why does this cable say subwoofer?

 

[M11293]

One thing I noticed when checking the computer input was that the SPDIF input didn't go in all the way. The gold "crown" prevents it from entering entirely and securely.

if you are using optical, you need a "toslink" cable....if your spdif cables look like RCA cables, jsut use those...it all works.

depending on your computer and its soundcard, it might only support somethign called spdif passthrough, which means that all content will be sent out in stereo (PCM Stereo) with the exception of content with Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, such as DVDs...

 

[M11293]

I'm using the coaxial option and the cable input to computer won't go in fully.

 

[Quasmo]

force it in, and then go buy a sound card that supports DDL
