Hi. I received my OSB-1 a few days ago, installed it, and I am extremely happy with the results.

However, I am confused and frustrated by the optical cable that accompanied the soundbar.

First, let me explain that I'm not quite a rookie when it comes to audio & video equipment. I built my first stereo amp when I was 16 years old and have been pursuing the "perfect sound" for the past 50+ years.

However, I have never used a Toslink cable until I received my OSB-1, opting instead for digital coax cables.

The supplied Toslink cable plugs fine (albeit not the strongest feeling lock) into the S3 input port. However, the cable can NOT be inserted into the optical port for either my Panasonic TC-P55VT50 TV or Comcast/Motorola RNG200N (retagged Motorola DCX3501-M) HD dual tuner DVR box even tho' I tried every possible insertion angle and position.

Am I missing something here? Are there different kinds of Toslink ports? Any help out there? This is baffling to me, and i feel like an idiot.

Thank you.
