Question for the experts-
I have the Sony HD200 Directv STB and looking at the audio connections. It looks like they give me NO "digital coaxial" option...so I need an OPTICAL DIGITAL wire into my Dolby Digital receiver (only have ONE in the back of my receiver- labeled DVD/LD ). I guess I can use that connection though.
Two questions-
1) With the aforementioned scenario, is it "OK" to then use a "digital coaxial" wire from the receiver into the DVD ? (I would then have optical from STB to D.D. receiver, and coax digital from receiver to DVD ); and
2) Can you recommend a really good, but not "OUTRAGEOUSLY PRICED" optical digital wire of about 5' ? (e.g. my "pain threshhold" on video for example, is the Monster 3 type quality).
Thanks a lot for input !
