Need help connecting to my digital receiver

I bought an airport express to play itunes from my computer to my stereo.
I have a digital receiver that's fairly old but still digital with optical inputs.
I don't want to just connect RCA cables from airport express to receiver—i want to take advantage of using the optical out from airport express to keep everything digital.
But with my receiver, i don't think it's as simple as getting an optical digital Toslink audio cable and plugging it into the digital inputs on my receiver. i need to also plug in RCA audio cables IN CONJUNCTION with the optical audio cable. Kind of like how in a dvd player, you have to plug in the optical cable as well as RCA audio so you have dedicated channels on your receiver(DVD,Video 1, Video 2)
my question is do they have a cable like this? a mini-to-optical digital Toslink audio cable as well as RCA audio in one?

HeavySoul, Welcome to the discussion area!

On a DVD player you have video and audio. Are you confusing the video cable with an optical cable?
Unless your receiver is some odd device, there should be no need for both optical and analog audio input.

  • Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

    Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
    My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
    I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
    For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
    If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

    In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

  • Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

    I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
    I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

    This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

  • I need help connecting my iPhone and computer together.

    I need help connecting my iPhone to computer

    Howdy sprinklemk,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the iPhone User Guide, it answers your question about how to connect your iPhone to your computer and provides additional information that you may find helpful.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync photos and other content to iPhone from your computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.
    To use iPhone with your computer, you need:
    An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
    A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
       OS X version 10.6.8 or later
       Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin the other device.
    Cheers,
    -Jason

  • Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

    Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c.  I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report.  I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
    Thanks,
    NBGHealth

    Hello,
    I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
    Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
    Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
    Thank you
    Don

  • Need help connecting 5th gen Time capsule via wifi to existing wifi network(non-apple) and use ethernet out to AV receiver?

    Could anyone help advise me how to use my 5th gen time capsule airport to connect to my existing wireless modem(non-apple) over the wireless network (NOT using the WAN port with a cable) and then connect with an ethernet cable to give internet connectivity to my AV Receiver?  I would also like to be able to back up my macbook pro with the time machine/time capsule benefit.  I know that many AV setups have recommended using airport express to receive wireless connectivity to pass on internet through the ethernet port to AV setups, but I thought I would try to add the extra functionality of the over-the-air backups with the time capsule at the same time.  Is this possible without connecting with a wire to the modem which has no ability for a wired connection where the TV and AV setup is?   Any help would be much appreciated:)

    It doesn't work except to another apple router. Sorry.
    The express does work.. that is a difference between Express and Extreme/TC.

  • Need help connecting to the internet via Dial-up?

    Hi! My son and his mini have moved back to Vermont, and where he is only dial-up is available. I thought the hookup would be simple......I haven't a clue. I have been on high spped cable for so long that I need help!!!!! Here is what I tried. Phone cable to the modem. (Can't connect it directly to the mini because it only takes an ethernet cable) USB cable from the modem to the mini. Using the Verizon software we got nowhere because we could not get a connection...Need help, Thanks Bill

    The first bit of info is which Verizon number to use to dial-up, so that it is a local call. Is your son going to call from Essex Jct or somewhere else? Basically we need his area code and first three digits of phone number, if you are comfortable giving that. Otherwise you'll have to call Verizon and ask them for the local number to call.
    Then we have to look up how Verizon wants login info. Perhaps another customer can help here. The conventions vary from one ISP to another. Please don't give us you login here!
    That should be enough to get you connected and surfing. Then we have to configure the mail program. But again a little research or help from another Verizon customer will do the trick.
    Please don't install their software. I've spent countless hours removing ISPs' extra software from friends computers. Such software does not necessarily make things faster and it leaves you with a non-standard system. It's also about getting their hooks into you to push more advertising at you and more revenue their way. (This helps explain why they are so eager for you to use their software BTW.)
    There are techniques to speed up dial-up, but they don't involve extra ISP software and ads. They have to do with keeping the ads away in the first place.

  • Need help connecting external monitor

    My brother needs help with connecting an external monitor to his 20" iMac G5. He has the adapter with the standard monitor port, and when plugged in, the monitor duplicates the iMac screen. His question is, how can he set it so that the desktop is extended, instead of duplicated? I, myself, have a MacBook and two months ago I used my adapter to connect a projector, and I remember an option where I could choose between duplicate and extended desktop, and right now I tried to find it on my MacBook and well as my Intel iMac and I can't find the option, and neither can he.
    Please help, thanks!

    The iMac G5 can only mirror the internal display unless you hack the firmware. 
    Display options like that only appear when you connect a display which is why you can't see them on the MB at the moment.

  • Need help connecting to 360 and pc with internet

    thanks in advance

    Hi....
             A network HUB is a network device that is used to connect multiple computer so that they can share the resources. In more general way a hub can be defined as a common connection point for devices in the network.
                There are hubs that can be managed by an administrator. In case of NH1005 it is not a manageable HUB. Connect the devices to the HUB and if the devices are properly configured they will communicate with each other.

  • Need help connecting to Oracle to create database

    Am student taking DBA course; have altered pfile so that path shows where createdb is located. Cannot connect to Oracle; keep getting message "insufficient privileges." Createdb file amended per book to "REMOTE_LOGIN_PASWORDFILE=exclusive" and still can't connect. Can I grant connect privileges to internal/oracle? Tried several times to create database and am now using new database name to try again, but when I get to svrmgrl and type in "connect internal" and give password "oracle" as book says to do I get the "insufficient privileges" message again. Need help.

    Linda,
    when you use exclusive in remote_login_passwordfile is necessary make one file. Use the following instructions:
    orapw file=orapw<SID> password=<password> entries=<users>
    where
    file=name of password file (mandatory)
    password=password for SYS and INTERNAL (mandatory)
    entries=maximum number of distinct DBA and OPERs (opt)
    There are no spaces around the equal to (=) character.
    Find orapwd.exe by Windows Explorer
    Bye,
    DQC
