My receiver has 1 optical and 1 digital coax input. I wanted to keep the optical for my DVD player so I needed a SP-DIF not an optical output from my Xbox. Still the advantage of going with the Advanced A/V pack is you don’t have to open up your Xbox if anyone is worried about that ;-)

This is very simple and done similar in 2 other tutorials so I won’t go into too much detail just good pics.

Parts-
RCA jack that mounts to a panel
2 wires

1. remove these 3 screws and remove cover
2. remove screw holding in PCB
3. I chose to put my RCA jack here since there’s plenty of room
4. drill your ¼ hole for the RCA jack
5. solder 2 wires to the board - Pos/digital signal and GND
6. mount your jack, wire it in – signal/pos is middle
7. put back together

DONE
a nice clean looking Digital SP-DIF connection while also keeping your optical. Both still work.

Thanks to DataBitz, and Smokewagon
