List of AC-3 RF Equipment
Thank you to Tony Kwong for the original list.
Legend
- o = optical toslink
- c = coaxial
- 5.1 = set of 6 analog cables
- 7.1 = set of 8 analog cables
- db25 = 25 pin connector used for some AVR and AVP, but also with proper adapter converts to 6 or 8 analog cables.
- 1394 = firewire, ilink digital connector
- in = input
- out = output
The most common listing formats of this list:
- [manufacturer][model name/number](digital inputs, analog input, digital output, analog output)
- [manufacturer][model name/number](digital inputs, digital output, analog input, analog output)
If the AC-3RF connector is assignable as a coaxial digital connector that connector will not be listed as a coaxial in the i/o listing.[1][2]
