Makes sense. I ordered one PDO cable to try it with my DVD player. If my CD player has the optical port I will try it in that as well. The player is a 6 disk Pioneer and I can't find any info on it online, so I will just pull it out and have a look later.

Now, if my CD player does not have the digi out, then I could get an analog to digi cable that goes from RCA to Optical? I can't imagine how that could possibly work considering one is basically a fiber optic cable and the other copper wire. Maybe I am in that confusing mode once again. lol

Let me try this again. I am looking at the Rhino website. They are calling the cable a Digital COAX cable. That to me would indicate an actual wire, not fiber. Would this cable still get plugged into the RCA connectors on both the CD player as well as the 1050? All I recall the 1050 having in terms of connections are:

RCA - Audio
RCA - Composite
S-Video - Video
Optical - Audio

Are their others I forgot about or didn't see?
