Best Answer

An AV output is one or several connectors that output both video and audio signals from a device. They are found on terrestrial and satellite receivers, video recorders as well as some televisions.

The output may be analog, using composite video, s-video, component or RGB with audio normally carried on a pair of connectors for left and right signals. Typically, domestic equipment will use RCA (phono) connectors although there are other connectors that are used in commercial equipment.

Digital outputs are normally restricted to HDMI on modern equipment - a single connector that carries video and audio signals. DVI may also be called an AV connector but as it does not carry audio, it doesn't strictly fit the definition. Broadcast equipment uses a single co-axial connection on a BNC connector and carries SDI, a digital signal that can carry video, audio and other signals.

Whatever the interface, it needs to be connected to a similar input to a television, a recorder input or similar device to link the output to any other equipment.

AV stands for audio and video input. The most common usage would be the yellow wire for video and the other two wires for the audio. These are red for the right channel and the other for the left side channel sound. The left side wires can be white or black.

Will SPDIF output of cable box to input of AV receiver work for 5 channel audio?

SPDIF is a type of digital audio connection. If you hook that up to a port on the AV receiver make sure it is marked "digital/coax", PCM etc....the connection will be orange in color, just like the output on the cable box. Now make sure your AV receiver is told what type of audio to look for on that particular input and make sure your cable box is told what type of audio to put out, not always necessary but would be in the set-up menu if needed.
