I am having a new years party and want to play our mp3s over our home theater system.
I plan to copy the files to my tosh sat 5200 laptop so as to reduce the distance of the audio cable.
The yam ac-xg sound card has an spdif minijack output.
I plan to use a coax input ( it has 3) on my hk avr-510 ( it reads mp3s) to accept the digital signal.
Question
does the mini jack connection need a stereo or mono connection
and are there any settings to be changed on the sound card
as it is a dual (spdif/headphones) jack.
I would prefer to do the above so as to get the digital signal but I could just output to std. left/right composite jacks orrrr
If this cannot work how long a coax can you between you box and your receiver.
I could run this from the box below but they about 50' (15m) apart
Cheers and happy holidays
