Another sound card to receiver digital question
I have a M-Audio revolution 7.1 sound card and a Marantz SR6200 receiver.
The card has a digital coaxial output and the receiver has 2 digital coaxial inputs - should be sweet. But I can't get any digital signal. There is no problem connecting the card's stereo output (stereo mini-jack to 2x RCA) to another input on the receiver (e.g. AUX) - works fine. But I want to use this output for something else. With this receiver you have to select digital audio (and which channel - 2 coaxial and 2 optical) for whatever mode is playing. There is also a digital/analog switch to switch between the two. I believe I have this pretty much sussed out at the receiver end. Does anybody else have any advice? Should it matter if the cable is not a dedicated 75 Ohm coaxial cable (quality issues aside)? I am using a fairly good quality video cable RCA to RCA. Thanks for any help david |
