Summary: Digital optical output does not work 2008-02-08
Comment: I bought two of these because they were really cheap at radio shack. Though I had to resolder one of them they are fine as S-Video cables if you don't need digital output. However, the optical audio output DOES NOT WORK ON EITHER CABLE. There is clearly a reason why these cables were $3.00 each at radio shack.
To double check I switched to the component cables that come with the xbox 360 and the digital audio worked fine.
I posted this review because I want to make it clear that the optical audio does not work on these cables. It's not that the four other people with problems don't know how to plug a cable in.

Summary: Negative reviewers, check the facts 2006-12-07
Comment: People really need to realize that the optical audio output on this 360 S-video cable does indeed work, you just need to apply some fingernail pressure to pry out the protective plastic cover, connect a separate optical audio cable and you're good to go with the digital sorround sound. [...] Regarding the quality of the cable, the picture you get (I still use a 27" CRT standard def TV) is not quite as bright or contrasty as with the component cable, but this really isn't a big issue unless you are using an HD TV and in that case you will not get a good high def picture from an S-video cable anyway. This product works well with a SD TV and is a better connection than composite RCA cables. If you have your 360 hooked up to a standard def TV and your component cable goes out like mine did, then this item is a good cost-effective replacement.

Summary: Optical Digital Output Non-Functional 2006-05-14
Comment: The Optical Digital Output on this cable was designed prior to the Xbox 360 being released. IT DOES NOT WORK. From reading other complaints on the Microsoft Forums apparently none of them work. The S-Video is fine but if you intend to use this product for digital audio do not buy it. Pelican should recall the cables but I haven't heard any hint of an intent to do so and I can't get a response from their 24/7 tech support on the issue.

Summary: Good product, great value 2006-05-04
Comment: As an S-video & analog audio cable, it works very well, resulting in a picture far better than composite video. I have not yet bothered to try the optical digital connection. From the comments here, I have my doubts that other reviewers know that you need an additional optical cable to make it work!

Summary: Waste of time and money 2006-03-20
Comment: As someone else said, I should have checked here first. Bought this and no digital audio. Waste of money, no support from Pelican.
