Setting up your DD-51 Part 2

-DBvader

Now from Justin...

If you have a Digital Output on your soundcard, use it to connect to the DD-51.  If you do this, and you don't use the optical output, you will need to get two things.

 1.  RCA Cable or Mini MonoCable.

 2.  If you get the RCA cable, you will then need to get an RCA to Mini mono adapter, if you

got the Mini Mono cable, get a Mini Mono to RCA adapter.  Plug the Mini end of this new cord youcreated into the orange digital output on your sound card, and then plug the RCA (Coaxial) end into the DD-51 Coaxial Digital input.  If you are lucky, you can find what is called an Audio Antenuator cable, this has RCA on one end, and Mini mono on the other.  These are common with digital cameras that have a TV out  which allows you to hook via a Mini mono jack to the RCA jack on your TV.  Many Sony, Canon and RCA digital cameras (digital still cameras) have this output, and this cable is provided with the camera.

More blab from Justin...
The above stands for a receiver and hooking your soundcard to it, using the adapters or an audio antenuator cable, or the TV out cable from a digital camera.  For more info, look to the first text explanation.

Here is a picture of an audio attenuate cable.  This is the same cable that I was referring to that comeswith some digital cameras, infact this one came with my SONY DSC-S85.
The green end is a mini mono, and the black end is an RCA.  You can make this using the adapters andcords that I wrote above in the first paragraph of this article.
