The setup procedure for connecting audio to a TV using optical fiber

The setup procedure and precautions for connecting audio to a TV using optical fiber are as follows: 

  • Setup steps

1. Preparation:

  • Make sure your TV and audio equipment both support optical fiber audio input and output.
  • Prepare a fiber optic cable, usually the length of the fiber optic cable is limited, it is recommended to be within 10 meters to ensure sound quality.

2. Connect the fiber optic cable:

  • Find the digital optical audio output connector (SPDIF connector) on the back of your TV, which is usually a small square connector labeled “Optical”or “SPDIF”.
  • Plug one end of the fiber optic cable into the TV’s fiber optic output connector.
  • Plug the other end of the fiber optic cable into the fiber optic input connector of the audio device.

3. Set the audio output of the TV:

  • Turn on the TV and enter the “Settings”or “System Settings”
  • Find the “Sound”or “Audio” setting option.
  • In the audio output settings, select “optical”or “digital audio output” (specific options may vary depending on the TV model).
  • If the external speaker, usually choose “PCM”as the output format; if the external amplifier, you may choose “RAW” or other formats suitable for amplifiers.

4. Adjust the sound:

  • Open the audio device and enter its setting interface.
  • Select the optical fiber input as the current audio input source.
  • Use the remote control or control panel to adjust the volume and sound settings.

5. Test:

  • Play the audio content on the TV and check if the stereo can receive and play the sound normally.
  • Adjust the volume balance of the TV and stereo as needed.

 

Precautions

Correct Connection:

1.Make sure that the fiber optic cable is inserted into the interface in the correct direction to avoid inserting it backwards and causing the signal not to be transmitted.

2.The fiber optic cable should avoid bending, pulling and twisting as much as possible to avoid affecting the quality of signal transmission.
