Hi James,
I suggest that you leave the MD deck permanently connected to the CD.
Why?
1) Each time you disconnect the optical cable, you'll 'damage' the cable
and connectors. In the end you'll end up with one of them badly
damaged.
2) An optical connection is the most save connection in the world. If your
CD player would put 10000V on one of it's outputs, nothing will happen
to your MD-deck. (You'll probably kill your amplifier and everything
connected to it!)
Cheers,
Ralph -> Lucky that those LED's used in the optical out, break at a few volts!
