This is an "analog" audio output that you can connect to your powered speakers. You may also connect this output to the stereo analog inputs of a home stereo or surround receiver. The Sonica also has a standard optical connector. This is a "digital" audio output that that will transmit either a stereo digital audio signal or a multichannel "surround sound" encoded digital audio signal. It is from these setup options that you will be able to change or direct the audio output of the DVD player. The choice of audio settings within software DVD players, and the way they are named, will vary and may be limited by the version, or `level', of your DVD player. The choices within your player's settings may include stereo analog output, S/PDIF output, or 5. 1 surround output. Here is a breakdown of how these settings might appear and how they affect the output of the Sonica: 2 Speaker: When the Sonica is chosen as your computer's audio device (see sections, "Sonica and the Windows Sound System, " and "Sonica and the Macintosh Sound Manager"), this setting will send a stereo signal to the Sonica's outputs. Use S/PDIF: When you have the Sonica digital output connected to the digital input of a surround sound receiver, choose this setting to send the encoded surround signal (Dolby Digital, DTS) to the receiver.
