This couldn't be much further away from our cars but I suspect this will be right up someone's alley here.
I'm trying to connect a ten year old Panasonic TV through the Digital Audio Out to a Cambridge TV2 (original version) which has Optical In.
The connectors both appear to be identical and both appear to fit the 'holes' perfectly (and yes, I took the caps off the lead).
I have no sound and the Cambridge TV2 guide seems to suggest I've done all that's needed: power in, digital in, away we go, but nothing (light is up and responds to the remote).
So nub of the question is this: are Digital Audio and Optical two incompatible formats that happen to share exactly the same connectors, or is it a problem elsewhere?
Being an early TV2 this soundbase only has two other options: a 3.5mm headphone jack (not ideal) or AV in (being used at TV's end by my amp).
Naturally I've Googled this but the simple 'no they're incompatible' / 'yes they're the same' / 'they are different but are compatible' type answer is illuding me.
Many thanks in advance.
