Yep, you need the kind of cable labeled "digital coax", like the ones used for connecting a DVD player's digital output to a surround sound receiver's digital input. They have RCA connectors but don't work well as analog audio cables, and vice versa -- analog audio cables don't work well as digital audio cables. -- Brett W.
