brenter: Dec 15, 2004; Hey guys, whoa, big gulps huh? Alright. Well see ya later.

I've been streaming movies from Amazon from my 2011 MBP to my TV. I've just been using the Thunderbolt port to do this using a Mini Display Port to HDMI cable.

I'd like to start getting sound through my receiver instead of having to use the TV. My receiver does not have an HDMI port.

I understand that you can use the headphone port on the MBP to get sound, but was wondering what type of cable to use. Will coaxial work?

If your receiver has optical, you'll want something like this: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-THINTOSMIN6-Toslink-Digital-Optical/dp/B00016W6Y6

If not, a standard 1/8" to RCA stereo pair will work.

Will this one work? Need a longer length.
