Customer Reviews

Xbox360 Elite to Receiver
Perfect connection between the Xbox 360 EliteXbox 360 Elite System Console Includes 120GB Hard Drive and a 5.1 Onkyo receiver Onkyo HT-S3100 5.1 Channel Home Entertainment System (Set of Seven, Black). The connections are firm. (I could have alternately chosen to hook the TV to the receiver with the same cable.. but have not tried that yet.)

Note that neither the 360 nor the receiver come with such a cable (though if you plan to hear anything beyond stereo, you need it). Also, (from web research), don't get a 6' cable if 3' will do.

Some sites tout the benefit of optical over other choices for multi-channel audio; but as far as I tell with the Xbox, there isn't any other choice to worry about. You either need a toslink from the xbox to the receiver (or TV to receiver) or you go with HDMI to the receiver (cheap ones don't support HDMI).

Good Price, Great Job!
This cable is a welcome alternative to the higher priced cables at local electronic stores. It has no frills -- it just does the job that needs to be done. Make sure when using this cable that the tiny plastic covers are removed from the connectors -- they are very difficult to see. I first thought the cable wasn't working properly because of them.

Good cable for price
I have Onkyo 606 receiver and this cable performs as well as a 50 dollar cable I purchased when used on this device.
