Optical out looks like a small square plug with an even smaller roundhole in the middle. Look for that

ok cool. tonight after work ill go pick up the cables, will radioshack have them? aandrew610

Best Buy, Radioshack, Circuit City, pretty much any electronics store should carry them.

Tbe Xbox doesn't have a port for a digital optical does it?mikeymike869

yes it does, on the plug of the HD Component/VGA/HDMI that goes to the 360...

If you are using anHDMI cable then you don't need to plug in either the component cable or any type of audio cable. HDMI isbest because it is a digital Audio and Video cable combined.Makrid

The HDMI is plugged into the tv... so we don't get surround sound. What other way is there to do it? I don't think the receiver has HDMI video. My roomate has a PS3, it has the HDMI and Digital Audio cable seperate and built on to the console...atleast sony got something right.
