either analog or digital audio outputs.
• The CONNECT has both digital and analog outputs

Connecting to a home theater
1. Choose one of the following options:
• If you have digital inputs on your home theater receiver and your Sonos component supports digital audio output, you
can use either a TOSLINK® optical audio cable or a digital coaxial cable to connect from the Sonos component’s digital
audio output to the digital input on your home theater receiver.
• If you have analog inputs on your receiver, use a standard RCA audio cable to connect from the Sonos component’s
analog audio output to the audio inputs on your home theater receiver.
2. Select the proper input channel on your home theater system.
3. If you are setting up a new Sonos component that has audio outputs, plug it in and then select Add a Sonos Component
from the Manage menu.
