Ray of hope

After my new AV receiver should communicate with different devices planned my home theater, I could not help me with the various ports of my devices deal.
Unfortunately, my TV only has an optical output. So I had to abspiele many files directly via USB flash drive on your own media center of my LG 50-inch model of the sound from the TV to the receiver.

A spontaneous visit to the local discount store made me almost burst into tears when I saw the corresponding price tags. But fortunately, for some time there since the Amazon store brands.

Only the understanding of all the non-techies: An optical Toslink cable (derived from Toshiba LINK) is a fiber optic cable, the light pulses transfers (like fiber optic cables, which probably everyone knows from the advertising).
"Good" or "bad" quality is not there. Either the signal arrives at the other end, or may not. Point.
However, glass fiber / fiber optic cable must not be bent. The cable from Amazon are covered sufficiently thick and stable. The processing of the cable and the connector itself is OK

Who have the cables at each end of a protective cap made of transparent plastic: Important! These must be removed before you plug in the cable! Only then the cable can engage correctly and the problems that many described here do not appear. The cable is properly!
