Hello,

The following motherboard has an optical out:

ASRock 939A790GMH, link to manual:

http://europe.asrock.com/downloadsite/manual/939A790GMH.pdf

The following receiver has an optical in:

Denon AVR 1909, link to manual:

http://usa.denon.com/DocumentMaster/US/AVR-1909-OM-E_202A.pdf

It seems the receiver manual does not explain how to use optical connections
or what they are for... at the back of the receiver it says "tv/cbl"
something like that...

So is optical in only ment for tv signals ? or can it be used for audio
connections as well ? (I guess tv has that as well...)

Also does optical signals carry 7.1 signals ? Since the receiver has 7
speakers connected (no bass/subwoofer)

So in other words:

Is an optical cable ment for 7.1 connections as well ?

Thanks for any answers... if I could use only 1 optical cable instead of 3
or 4 electrical/rca cables that would be pretty cool and handy and more safe
electrical/light ? ;)

I guess if the receiver would get input from a tv signal it could somehow
transfer/broadcast this audio towards speakers so that's one thing... but
can it also disconcern the individual speaker signals (stereo signals) ?
Hmm...

So in other words: do these systems support carrieing 4 stereo signals
across one optical cable ?

Bye,
Skybuck.

12 year olds should not be allowed on Usenet. You should also not be
allowed to open or use ANY hardware until AFTER you READ the manual for
it, and LEARN what ALL the terms mean.

How can rich fucktards be so damned dumb?
