Ok, just so we are both on the same page. Everything is connected using RCA connectors. So the DVD player is being plugged into the RCA input on the 1050. My DVD player has a digital output, so I could get the Outlaw PDO cable, not a problem. My VCR is only RCA cables, so I can't get the PDO for that and besides it is not worth it for this VCR anyway.

Before ordering any more cables I will set the Digital Input selector until it is blank, and not Opt1, Opt2 or Coax.

I'm not 100% certain if the CD player has the optical connector or not, I'll look when I get home. Would their even be an advantage to an RCA to Optical cable? I can't imagine so.

Thanks for the help, I will let you know once I check everything when I get home tonight.
