EVHShawn Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 I have a Phillips/Magnavox shelf system with an optical out on the back of it. The only problem with this though is that it is an RCA shaped jack. Where can I find an adapter or a chord with an end like this on it? I've looked everywhere I can think of, HELP ME!!!

KJ_Palmer Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 If it's a single RCA-like plug and digital then it's a coaxial (electrical) rather than optical connection. You'll need a coaxial to optical converter - I'm pretty sure you could get one fairly cheaply from the likes of Radioshack, or Sound professionals have one here: http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/...gi?category=580 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVHShawn Posted January 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 It's deffinately an optical plug, and it is deffinately an RCA shaped plug. I tried plugging a regular RCA plug into it and it fit perfectly. So it's not a coaxial jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I retract my earlier statements and question on this string. I looked again and it is a digital out rather than optical; however, it is an RCA jack. Sorry! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazirker Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I think I know what you are talking about...I recently bought a radio shack digital format converter for $30 and haven't had any problems with it. One thing though...you said you have a Phillips shelf system...do you mean you have a stereo cd burner? I have a Phillips three-disc cd burner and I have discovered that any disc I burned with it can't be recorded on minidisc via digitial connection. It looks like it is recording normally, but then after the disc writes the TOC all hell breaks loose and I end up with 254 tracks and only the first minute or so of my recording. I had to convert all the cds I made with this burner to wav on my laptop and re-burn them. Major pain. It sounds like that isn't the equipment you have, but if that is the case, then beware.

EVHShawn Posted January 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 It's just the three disk carosel with dual tape wells and AM/FM radio, no burner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
