optical (toslink) audio cables....no good????
Pardon me if this question has been asked recently. I'm just now
returning to rec.audio.high-end after a 10 year hiatus. I have a Pansonic DVD player with an optical audio output jack. My new Sony surround receiver has numerous optical audio inputs. I've tried two different brands of toslink cables (including Monster Cable) but cannot get a secure connection. The cable ends can simply slip out of the jacks. Does one need rubber cement or something to use these things properly? Anyone else have the same issue? Thanks, Chris |

Thanks, Chris No, the cable should snap into place. Make sure you are not using mini-Toslink. You can see the differences he http://www.kdcomputers.com/eui/prime.../component.htm |

Yep, it has been done by many the first time! |
