Wharfedale 750s Optical Digital Connection To Sony HTK215

Thrifty (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Friday, 18th January 2002, 22:42

I`ve got an HTK215 on order from Unbeatable, and I know that it must have an optical digital lead (thanks to postings here), and I`ve also read on this forum that this needs to be toslink to toslink. I bought a cheap JVC lead in Curry`s which is labelled as a minidisc recording lead, but the assistant insisted it would be ok for my purpose. I`ve tried this in the Digital Out on the DVD and it is a very very loose fit, falling out with a slight prod. Is this normal? Have I bought the wrong lead? Should I buy the £30 lead in Dixons which is definately toslink to toslink? is my Wharfedale connection dodgy (it doesn`t appear to be loose) What does everyone else use? Er, help please!! Thanks!!

Sounds like the cable has a mini tos-link connecter as it should snap in tight to your connecter, don`t fork out £30 for an optical cable, have a look at www.beyondhifi.net.
The btech range is really good quality and it will cost you a third of the price.
An added bonus is that they deliver really quickly, I ordered a scart lead on the friday afternoon and it came the next morning!!!

I bought one of the jvc leads from currys to link my 750s to my denon av amp and it fits really well you must have got a mini toslink connector. Currys should change it as it was thier mistake.

Thanks to both `gingerone` & `bounce`, I`ve now got the right lead. I now have to wait for the Sony kit which Unbeatable assure me will be delivered early next week. Once again, thanks very much for your help!
