How do I use SPDIF?

G'day all

I just bought the A8V Deluxe and can't figure out how to get the SPDIF to
work. I'm guessing you can't just plug it into a stereo through normal RCA
cables, because I tried that and it didn't work.

Any help is much appreciated
Cheers
B

Run the sound setup wizard after you plug it into the stereo..
To return to regular stereo, run the wizard again after connecting..

I assume there's a coaxial S/PDIF output on the board? That would have
to be connected to the corresponding digital input on the amp via a
good-quality RCA cable (the kind of stuff suited for video should do).
