I have a question about the digital optical audio cables.?

Question

My ps3 has a digital optical audio port on it. My stereo has a "cd digital out (optical) jack" thats what the manual says it is. Can I hook up the ps3 to that cd optical jack and get sound through the stereo?

Answer 1

Proofread what you just wrote and answer your own question.

CD digital out, not in.

Answer 2

It sounds like your "stereo" is a home theater in a box dvd player. If that's the case you're probably out of luck.

Otherwise, if you have an actual standalone stereo, if it were capable of doing digital audio, it would have a port for it. It's a very very old standard. You can inexpensively upgrade your receiver to get an input, if you want.
