Optical Cords

by wildchyld Sep 2, 2009 2:01PM PDT

When you connect your TV w/ home theater system & DVR & you want to use an optical cord.............are all opticals the same or is there something special that I need to know. (like female to female or male to male?)

Any answers would be appreciated.

wildchyld,

I'm with Chuck on this one. The cords should be male-to-male, since the optical inputs are female.
