What do the arrows mean on my cable?

By the way these are monster interconnects I’m talking about. It appears there is no way to tell the difference between RCA and digital cables. Monster never labeled there cables so once the original packaging is gone it's a problem

To another point, prompted by a comment up above, I have great difficulty typing and can’t use a computer anymore because controlling the mouse and using keyboard it’s too painful. I can’t touch the screen on an iPad without feeling pain and discomfort so the only thing I can do is voice control to an iPad. This is being dictated. But still even when things are dictated they require occasional touching the screen which is difficult so I limit myself in what I can do. I would love to be able to type freely to Xpress myself more so. Thank God I can voice control the Apple TV remote because the remote is too difficult to use also,

Well that's interesting. Never would've guessed that it's Connected this way.

Deer creek audio through their response above was worth the effort 

kind of surprises me something as basic doesn't have a widespread consensus.  It goes back to the grounding issue, Connect the Ground on both sides of the cable or no and which one do you leave unconnected? Amazing how confusing this is.  Basic answers are so elusive.

We speak about rabbit hole but it really should be rabbit maze, good luck finding anything you looking for.
