Amkette Flash TV - Help required

[Shahrukh]

So I'm not much of a video guy but I bought this nifty little device anyway. Quite convenient to use and set up on my Sony Wega.

Only hassle is the digital out. They call it a digital coaxial out and yet the output socket looks as if it can only accommodate a 3.5mm jack.

I'm stuck!!

I'm currently outputting analogue (red and white) through my Marantz AVR but would love to know how I can connect digitally.

Mods, if this is in the wrong section, please feel free to move it around.

I think the macbook also uses a 3.5mm jack for the digital o/p try a Y cable you will get the digital o/p in one of those RCAs. Computer soundcards also have a 3.5 mm digital o/p. you basically need a mono 3.5 mm to RCA converter. Try it out and see it should work.

Mac users may kindly clarify

I have a 3.5mm optical cable. Thing is, the Amkette specifically mentions co-ax!!

Are you from mumbai? I have a handheld dvd with similar problem,I think it is mono 3.5 mm jack , I bought one adapter and this jack works!!

 

[dillihifi]

not optical i was talking about a mono 3.5 mm to RCA try it out or if you have a Y cable to connect the Ipod to stereo you can use it. One of the RCAs will give you digital audio

Jack that is next to power should be coaxial. Is that the case?

 

[Shahrukh]

Hemant. Yes I am in Mumbai. Where'd you get the jack from? Lam Road?

Dillihifi - Will give it a shot.

Cranky - I'm pretty sure it's not optical. No red lights visible.

Netfreak - Yup it's next to power. A

hey it is digital coax (ive used it on my philips receiver)...as @dilihifi said you can try the Y on YUV cable for the optical. or if you are using that cable try the red cable on the av cable. [you need to plug the 3.5mm side in to the coax side, and then either the Y or the red Aud into your receiver digital coax input)
it works!!
