However, there is a long tradition of analog audio connections from the days of high fidelity and stereo.
Multichannel analog inputs and outputs are sometimes provided.
What Are Multichannel Analog Connections?

Multichannel analog connections consist of a separate audio connection for each channel of audio.
All these connections useRCA jacks and cables.
These outputs connect a home theater receiver or AV preamp/processor to external amplifiers.
This allows access to all the audio features of a home theater receiver.
Some home theater receivers allow reassignment of internal amplifiers to other channels that aren’t being bypassed.
That’s because AV preamp processors don’t have the built-in amplifiers required to power speakers.
To get audio signals to speakers, analog preamp outputs enable connection to external power amplifiers.
The amplifiers, in turn, power the speakers.
Multichannel analog inputs are discrete connections.
You could also bypass that option and connect the subwoofer output from the source unit directly to the subwoofer.
Know Your Audio Connection Options
There are several home theater connection options.
New options like HDMI have been introduced whileold options are being phased out.
Others have been consolidated,such as shared analog video inputs on newer TVs.
