Neither the CD player or the R90 are at fault. The cable is at fault.
simple solution: buy a toslink to mini cable. A sony branded cable will
run around 30-40 dollars US, or an off brand will run as cheap as 8 bucks.
Recton, sells "adaptors" with some of their cables. That allow you to convert
ends between mini and toslink. If you just try to hold it there, you'll likely
lose too much signaling along with outside light leaking in.
don't send the R90 back, you'll kick yourself if you do...
