should I use the optical or digital coax on my dvd player?
there's no reason optical should even be aroundI had interference problems when I used coax. Optical, on the other hand, has worked flawlessly for me.
I had interference problems when I used coax. Optical, on the other hand, has worked flawlessly for me.I'm getting interference problems with my coax, and have traced it down to fluorescent lighting interference--specifically, audio dropout whenever I flick the switch to turn the fluorescents on. It seems that the ballasts which fire up the fluorescents causes signal interference with the coax digital audio cable (RatShack Gold Series, BTW); once the fluorescents are lit however, there is no dropout. Since my DVD player doesn't have a optical out, I can't readily test as to whether or not optical is less susceptible (if not entirely) to such interference; however, others have commented that possible interference from fluorescent fixtures (not those drop-in replacement bulbs meant to replace incandescent ones) should not be a factor with optical.
