Can someone xplain Optical cable

You guys are Great!  I asked one of my buds and said its quite logical really, PS2 has Optical Out so I would need Optical IN to make it work right.  Since the Aiwa has only Op Out (for MP3 players and minidisc systems), basically two outs don\'t make any sound. :-)  Surprising how many of us have Aiwa Minis, too bad we didn\'t think we needed the fizzin Op IN when we bought them.

I did my research and the AIWA(NSX-Ds50) was the only mini system that had an optical in in my price range.  So, some of us thought of it.

I just brought a TV with S-video/Component plugins.
And i purchased the monster cables.  Do I need anything else to hook my Ps2 up to the TV.?

if you bought the S-video monster cables for the PS2 you shoud be set...it has the S-video cable and 2 audio cables with it, the Component cables on the other hand only have video (yes those 3 cables are all for video) so you need an optical cable to a stereo or some sort of sound source before it goes to the tv....unless the TV has optical In (havent seen many of them yet). I would go with S-video Monster cables.....I believe their 30 bucks USD (US Dollars) they are the best cables around...........
