Optical Video In + S/PDIF?

[Senseo1990]

That should be a quick one:

I want to connect my Xbox One X to an old audio receiver (Sony STR-DE585). I was about to buy a Toslink for that but decided to check the back of the receiver again.

It has a 'Optical Video In' which irritates me as these connections are usually refered to as 'Optical Audio In/Out' aren't they?

Probably a silly question but I dont want to buy the wrong cable

It says that because you have to select the "Video 2" device on the receiver for that digital input to be active. The pictures I see say "Video 2 In" ...
A toslink cable would be correct. Below the toslink port is a coax digital input labeled DVD/CD... Same thing, that input has to be selected for that port to be active.

Perfect, thank you very much!

Yes - exactly as kanewolf has already said.

You'll simply have to select 'video 2' on the reciever input to get the xbox one audio.

Ah, now I understand. Thank you!
