Originally posted by pheroy I was looking at the RCA UTV units last weekend, and noticed one thing which I suspect is a minor difference from the Sony. The output jack for digital audio (Dolby Digital) on the RCA is a non-standard connector. I couldn't get a clear answer from the salesdroid on whether a cable/adapter was included, but he pointed me to a $20 special RCA cable. This seems to be almost a habit that Thomson/RCA has practiced lately; I know that some of their HDTV sets have used non-standard connectors, and it's annoying. I haven't seen the Sony unit so can't compare. |

Originally posted by pheroy Nope, I know very well what coax & optical outs look like. The RCA output looks more like an RJ45 type connector. |
