thanks for the info. but I went to radio shack and they said they sold no such device. Although they looked puzzeld like they didnt even know what a toslink cable was. I looked and couldent find it either. There is an auction on ebay that claims it works in reverse. perhaps you version does not allow it tho?

which im 100% sure would work. which one do u think i should get? cause $30 is a little much for just 1 extra device. or perhaps u know of some local stores that would sell these other then radio shack? I live in the greater toronto area.
