CABLE BOX TO WADIA CD PLAYER?


I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO PATCH THE MUSIC BROADCAST ON THE CABLE TV BOX TO MY WADIA 860 WITH NO LUCK. CAN IT BE DONE?

Yes, I've used the digital out on my cable box to a Wadia 830 for about four years now. I use a Kimber D75 with RCA to BNC and it sounds pretty good, even better late at night when no one is watching TV. I had trouble with one box, so when I talked to one of the reps about it, he didn't believe me when I told him it used to work. He told me it wasn't supposed to work. All I did was replace the box, and I never had a problem.
If you're trying to use the digital audio out on your cable box, that may be the problem -- some cable boxes seem to HAVE the digital out jack, but it isn't actually hooked up. My digital cable box (Scientific Atlanta) is that way. I asked the installer about it, and his comment was, "Well, the S-Video out works." That pretty much says it all . . . .
