    Type of Cable for Coaxial Digital Connection?

    I'm hooking up my new DVD player to a Denon 3200 receiver, and I would like to use the orange coaxial Digital Audio Out connector.

    My question is the following: do I need to use a special cable, or can I use a standard RCA type connector? I'm not an audiophile; I just want basic digital sound, so please don't suggest Monster cables.

    Thanks,
    Richard

    Any coaxial cable with RCA connectors that has 75 ohm impedance will work. This includes video cables (color coded yellow) or digital coaxial cable (color coded orange). Note that most analog audio interconnect cables look similar, but may or may not be built to have 75 ohm impedance. This matters for video or digital connections, but not for audio.
