there are two other outputs.. one is coaxial, and the other, which i cant think of the name, is usually above or beside it. they are pretty much always paired together.

the coaxial is audio, what is the other one called (the video one).

im having a brain fart, im not home now and wont be til 5 or so. trying to find out where i can get that cable. but gotta find out the name first.

the plug looks like the kind where you plug from printer to usb, its not exactly a square, but close to it

^^i had that shit before you did, editing ftl

10/23/2007 11:53:58 AM

aaah yes.. optical.

i actually spotted it when i was looking at some pictures of DVD players.

haha.

so on this note.. can this optical and coaxial take the place of the component cables??

10/23/2007 11:55:32 AM

no

they both carry audio

10/23/2007 11:55:59 AM

oh.. so its just to spice up the audio?

i bought this surround sound system. it came with a coaxial cable. so i just hooked it up because it came with it.

should i bother with the optical cable?

optical and coaxial both carry the same thing (digital audio), just different transmission mediums

they carry the 5.1 audio signal from your dvd player to your receiver/amp

you only need one or the other

10/23/2007 11:58:51 AM

nice.

ok so ill stick to the coaxial then.

thanks for the help sir.

10/23/2007 11:59:34 AM

np.

10/23/2007 12:00:18 PM

damn, that's a nicer DVD player than ive got.

10/23/2007 12:17:17 PM

Make sure you're using either the optical or the digital coaxial, and not the red/white coaxial as well.

10/23/2007 1:25:09 PM

nah, just a single coaxial cable.

its color coded so i cant screw it up
