DVD player optical output failure? Or bad cable?



Having problems with my DVD player. Every time we use it, I have wriggle the optical cable where it plugs into the player to get 5.1 working (otherwise it defaults to Pro-Logic).

Naturally I’d first suspect the cable, but I threw out another one just a couple of years ago and replaced it with this one when I was having the same problem. Are optical cables really that unreliable (which would be pretty galling, considering what they charge for those things), or is the output from my player going south?

Regards,
Wayne
