Hi, I am impressed with the HD video quality from the A.Beyond that I just acquired.

To connect to my home theatre system, I bought one "Digital Audio Cable" from Ace Hardware (with ACE p/n 3173242) but it ended up to be a wrong connector.

Can someone pls tell me where to buy a ready-made "Digital Audio Cable" for Astro Beyond? Can a coaxial cable labelled as "75 ohm coaxial RG59/U Video" used for digital audio as well? I found one with matching connector for A.Beyond set but unfortunately the cable is labelled as "Video use".

Pls advice. Thanks in advance.

You can use nomal RCA cable for video/audio, no harm  smile.gif

I am currently using the normal red/yellow/white RCA cables which only produce stereo sound. In order to get Dolby 5.1 (or higher) quality of sound, Astro's manual suggested "digital audio" cable. Can someone pls let me know where to get a ready-made cable that suits the connector in Astro.Beyond box? Tx

correct no need to buy digital audio cable.. HDMI enough already

I am currently using Yamaha DVX-s100 sound system which does not hv HDMI port. cry.gif cry.gif
I have tried to use existing RCA cable (i tried on red-coloured cable, then yellow) but it doesnt produce any sound. My Yamaha dvx port is labelled as "coaxial" and I just wonder what did I miss out for a normal RCA cable to work.

Tx in advance for any suggestion.

Did you remember to change the input to MD/CD-R? Because that's where the digital signal input is going to play in.

Got it. It is now working in great Dolby sound quality after changing the input to "MD/CD-R Auto" mode in my yamaha AVR.

Thanks all. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
