2 TOSLINK (optical digital audio) cable with a mini-TOSLINK connector or a mini-TOSLINK adapter to connect to a 3.5 mm optical digital audio output jack (for use with portable Mac) of the HDMI-cable (for model Mac Mini, which uses HDMI). Installing ITunes for playback of content in surround sound
Movies purchased or leased from ITunes Store frequently both stereo audio and digital surround sound tracks. By default, your Mac will play back stereo audio tracks. If you want to experience digital surround sound, you need to connect a Mac to a home theater receiver via TOSLINK (optical digital audio cable).

Background
Digital surround sound is the result of multi-channel digital audio, and data compression technologies such as Dolby Digital, which lets you use more than one channel audio output through a single connection. Not all music and video content is encoded with surround sound, when it is produced. Examples of content that is often encoded with surround sound are DVD-ROMs and movies purchased or rented from Itunes. When the music and movies are not encoded with surround sound, their sound will play as a regular two-channel stereo instead.
A common method of digital surround sound is to use a 5.1-channel home theater receiver to decode multi-channel audio surround sound. There are many versions of digital surround sound, but most of them based on the five channels (or columns) surround sound setup. It consists of left and right front speaker, left and right surround (rear) speaker, and LFE (or subwoofer) speaker.
