Cable TV digital music

Jb,
Yes, I would go from the Motorola spdif out to the Cary coax in with a moderately priced digital coax cable. If you have one on hand, if not grab one from a big box retailer that you can return.

also,
Y,Pb,Pr are the analog video outputs which also have a red & white rca audio output to go with them. The toslink or fiber-optic port is not easy to see until you see the tiny little plastic flap/door the covers the output laser. Does your dvr have a model number on the front or back.........ie. DCT**** or DCH****

Hey Bry, sorry it took so long to get back. anyway, yea, my motorola # is: DCT 6416 III
anyway, I'm just getting around to trying this out. I found the little "trap door" you mentioned, it's labeled "optical spdif", so I am going to get a coaxe cable and try going from there to the Cary coaxe in and see how it is. There is also a separate orange rca jack labeled "spdif" sandwiched in between the rca audio and video input jacks. I can't tell if that's an input or output jack.

UPDATE; it turned out the coax and toslink outputs on the motorola cable box were defective. the cable co. said they had a whole shipment of them on the streets. He swaped it out with a "Pace" unit. BUT.. the digital coax output works fine sending the audio signal to my Cary cd/dac out to pre/amp/speakers on the regular tv channels. BUT, the cable music channels do not work using the coax, I can only get sound out of them going through the analogue rca output jacks to my pre-amp. I wonder if Face was right, the music chanells are only transmitted in "low rez signal"...analogue??? jb
