CONNECTING AN AUDIO DEVICE - AUDIO CABLE TYPES
HDMI CABLE
HDMI technology transmits crystal-clear
digital multi-channel surround audio through
a single HDMI cable. Audio Return Channel-
enabled (ARC) TVs allow audio to be sent
over an already connected HDMI cable,
eliminating the need for a separate audio cable.
