A standard S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) cable typically carries two channels of audio, which corresponds to stereo sound. This allows for the transmission of left and right audio channels in a digital format. S/PDIF can also support multi-channel audio formats through compressed formats like Dolby Digital or DTS, but in its basic form, it is designed for two-channel audio.

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.
What is SPDIF?
S/PDIF or Sony Philips Digital Interconnect Format is a standard/protocol that specifies transmission of audio signals from one device to another in digital format. Both coaxial electrical cable and an optical fiber cable can be used to carry signals in S/PDIF format. - Neeraj Sharma
Does MySky television have all standard cable channels?
Sky televison is a provider of British television and carries the standard cable channels of Great Britian. They do not carry the standard cable stations for the United States.
Is there an spdif analog audio out?
No, a S/PDIF is, by definition, a Sony / Phillips Digital Interconnect Format connector, and is always a digital signal. It is usually connected by an RCA cable, and can be carried by cable specified for analog use, but digital cable is better.
Can you purcchase a cable that would have SPDIF plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other?
It's not straightforward to convert between SPDIF and a stereo pair of RCA plugs. SPDIF is a digital standard (SPDIF is an acronym for Sony Philips Digital Interface) and a pair of RCA plugs is analogue. It is possible to buy adaptors that convert from one to the other; if you search for SPDIF to analogue (or analog) convertor with google, you'll find a selection.
Is it possible to connect notebook with tv through spdif for a sound as I use vga for video with simple jack-jack cable or is it necessary to have some special spdif cable?
OK. Allready solved the problem. As spdif cable is an optical, so laser goest thru that, it's really impossible to connect it with just some jack...
Which connectors are used for digital SPDIF audio?
S/PDIF is the domestic digital audio standard, developed by Sony and Philips. It is normally carried on a copper cable using RCA (phono) connectors or with an optical fiber using TOSLink connections. Both interfaces carry the same data and can be considered equivalent to each other. One does not offer better quality than the other.
What is the need for hdmi?
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data in a single cable. HDMI supports, on a single cable, any video format including standard, enhanced, and high-definition video along with up to 8 channels of digital audio. ~abejschwartz
Which cable color is audio and which is video?
Red and white are audio, yellow is video. This applies to standard A/V only.
How does one add a headphone analog audio out jack to a stereo TV which has only 2 tiny weak speakers and only a coaxial digital audio out orange RCA type jack?
You would have to purchase a Digital to Analog converter and connect the SPDIF (orange RCA connector) to the D/A converter's digital input via a RCA/SPDIF cable. Then you would have to connect some type of headphone amplifier to the line outputs of the D/A converter.
How do you convert spdif into rca stereo?
SPDIF is a digital audio interface and is designed to transfer audio from one device to another without converting the signal to analog. Eventually, the signal will become analog as the speakers require an analog signal. to work. Almost all audio devices that have a SPDIF output also have an analog output so rather than buying a SPDIF to analog converter, use an existing analog output. If the device with the digital output doesn't have an analog output, then you don't have much choice about buying a converter unit. The converter is an active device so don't expect to find a simple converter cable. They don't cost a lot and they can be obtained from many specialist electronics stores. Good starting points are Radio Shack in the US or Maplin in the UK
