- This cable is plug in the optical Audio output of your PlayStation 4 at the back next to the HDMI port.
- The other end connect with the digital Audio input of your speaker that looks exactly like the already connected to the Audio output on the PS4.
- If your speakers are like the most Active systems do not have a digital Audio connection, you will need a Toslink mini-plug Adapter for the Jack connection. This costs you between 4 and 8 euros.
- Note: Many Audio equipment without digital Audio input can be output to the optical fiber connection, the Jack connection. The Toslink mini plug Adapter, thus, leads not necessarily to success.
