sky box f3 a few people have trouble wiring box to amp specs say
Digital audio output: S/PDIF by coaxial and optical;so where is it?

[willywonker2010]

conect to amp with hdmi
audio over hdmi

[cactikid]

the specs say it has those sockets,as i wire my boxes to tv with hdmi and can use either spdif or digital out to my onkyo,others are having problems using the hdmi cable to amp.
the point was why say it has ports when there are none on the box.

the coaxial s/pdif is there its just to the right of the RS232 and labelled 12v/50ma although there is no sign of the optical output, its probably cheaper to have one or the other than have both due to manufacturing costs
