Cable TV digital music


Every now and then, I like to listen to my cable tv music channells thru my stereo, It gives me exposure to music I wouldn't otherwise hear. I'm just wondering if there is any way to improve the sound quality coming from the cable tv digital source.
My system is: Cary 306/200 cdp, Audio Research LS 15 pre amp, BW N802 speakers.
thanks,

also,
Y,Pb,Pr are the analog video outputs which also have a red & white rca audio output to go with them. The toslink or fiber-optic port is not easy to see until you see the tiny little plastic flap/door the covers the output laser. Does your dvr have a model number on the front or back.........ie. DCT**** or DCH****
Hey Bry, sorry it took so long to get back. anyway, yea, my motorola # is: DCT 6416 III
anyway, I'm just getting around to trying this out. I found the little "trap door" you mentioned, it's labeled "optical spdif", so I am going to get a coaxe cable and try going from there to the Cary coaxe in and see how it is. There is also a separate orange rca jack labeled "spdif" sandwiched in between the rca audio and video input jacks. I can't tell if that's an input or output jack.
UPDATE; it turned out the coax and toslink outputs on the motorola cable box were defective. the cable co. said they had a whole shipment of them on the streets. He swaped it out with a "Pace" unit. BUT.. the digital coax output works fine sending the audio signal to my Cary cd/dac out to pre/amp/speakers on the regular tv channels. BUT, the cable music channels do not work using the coax, I can only get sound out of them going through the analogue rca output jacks to my pre-amp. I wonder if Face was right, the music chanells are only transmitted in "low rez signal"...analogue??? jb
