Any optic fibre cable should fit, shouldn't it ?

I have a cable that came with my soundcard and it fits the XBox Advanced Scart no probs

Any optical cable will work, I got an Ixos (spelling) from a Sony Centre for mine but they also do them at any decent music hardware store.
Price varys from £15 to £30 but man it's worth it for the 5.1 quality sound.

Jer,

The Advanced SCART gives your RGB for your telly, plus digital output so you can pump the 5.1 audio into an amp or DVD decoder to give you surround sound.

AFAIK, if you just hook up the Xbox to a telly using the std SCART lead, then all you get is stereo. So, the advanced job gives you better picture quality and the ability to play the sounds through your home cinema kit.

Best purchase I made, still find that the brightness is not that great on the picture though
