Hi gavp,

I just found I was short an S5 cable myself.

Searched this forum and found:

https://www.meridianunplugged.com/u...bb=showflat&Number=93240&fpart=1

so I decided to risk it with an old (I mean 1970s) analogue tape recorder 5-pin DIN-to-DIN lead.

It worked!

I use the M5 lead for the SPDIF signal and run the DIN-to-DIN lead for comms alongside.

Or friends at www.maplins.co.uk will sell you a 5 metre DIN-to-DIN for �12.99 here:

but I have not tried this one.

Usual caveats apply. Try this at your own risk. The manual is very clear about not conecting audio DIN leads to the speaker but I suspect that means don't connect an audio signal DIN lead.

In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.
