Color Me Stupid.......2007-09-13
I finally decided to go optical with my Playstation 3 and my media/surround system. First I looked at Monster cables Monster Cable Fiber Optic Digital Audio Cable for PlayStation 3 (10 Feet) , but in my Amazon search I found the Intec Playstation 3 Optical Cable which at the time of my search (and this writing) cost less than the Monster cable.
So I went with Intec. After the Intec Optical cable arrived at my house I couldn't wait to hook it up. I immediately opened the package, disconnected the digital coax cable that I was currently using, and I attempted to connect the Intec Optical Cable...but it wouldn't fit into the input/outputs on my device or on my receiver. Humph!? What the heck? This should just fit, right? Plug and play, no? Why the...? Maybe a little pressure....ummmph...nope. Oh, man!
Am I crazy or are these things really not fitting? I don't want to damage my devices (or the cables). I read the directions/literature from front to back. Nothing. What now? Maybe I call Intec. Yup. That's what I'm gonna do, as silly as it sounds to have to call tech support to install a cable.
I explained my dilemma to a very nice gentleman at Intec who was completely baffled as to why they wouldn't fit. "Are you inserting the cable flat-top up/half circle down?" he asked. "Indeed," I replied. He then suggested that I send him the cable, and he'd send me a new one. Very kind, but that process would take a lot longer than I wanted to wait.
So off to the high end electronic store with my Intec cable I went. If they couldn't tell what was wrong with the Intec or what I was doing wrong, I'd just buy an optical cable from them.
A very nice fellow at the retailer greeted me and said, "Let's have a look at the Intec." I gave it to him. He put a pair of spectacles on, looked at one end of the cable and removed a protective cap from the small gold recptacle on one end and repeated on the other and then he looked at me with a smile that said, "there-you-go-dummy" .
Crikey. I didn't remove the friggin caps? How was I supposed to know those were caps?!? They looked like...little...optical cable...thingamajiggers. Oy.
So the guy at Intec gave me way too much credit, assumed I was smart enough to take the caps off, and he never asked that one key question: Did you remove the caps?
The Intec Optical Cable ultimately works just great...that is if you remove the protective caps. And it works great not only on my Playstation 3, but also from my cable box to my receiver.
One star off for not catering to a dunce like me and saying somewhere in the directions...like first thing...remove the protective caps. Sheesh.
P.S. - Don't forget to change the setting for the input on your receiver from its current to optical.

STOP! After several months the CD's do eject reliably, then your CD's are trapped inside!.......2007-10-31
We bought two of these for the office. They worked great for a few weeks, but then one of them stopped ejecting the CD's reliably. You'd have to tell it to eject about five or six times before the CD would finally come out. It got progressively worse and started requiring ten tries for an ejection. Finally it stopped ejecting no matter how many times you tried. Imagine this true story:
"Hey, can I get the Adobe training CD"
"No, sorry they're trapped in this broken library"
I called support. They gave me a brand new unit. It worked great for a few weeks, and then began having the exact same problem!! ARGH! THEN my SECOND unit started having the same issues. Frustrated, I called support again. It turns out that the problem is with the belts that run the mechanism(s). They stretch out over time, and then they begin slipping. When they slip, they are no longer able to grab the disk to push it through he 'gate'. Because I'm a technician of sorts, I convinced Imation them to send me a handful of replacement belts. That way, I could just replace the belts when the unit stopped working. You too can do this if you're handy, but it honestly takes the better part of an hour. After replacing ALL of the belts in BOTH of my units, it worked GREAT!! ...For about a month before it started having the exact same problem. I have given up!!
Today I finally finished moving all of my CD's to a Caftek ddo-50 (the same as the Dacal CD-300). I've been using that unit at home for several years and it's been great! Perfectly reliable! Tonight after work we are all going to have a ceremonial burning of our two Stakka units in the parking lot of our office. You're welcome to come and help, but you must bring your own matches. :-)
DO NOT BUY Disc eject errors started occuring after a few months of use and have to continously recalibrate the unit........2007-10-29
Purchased two of these units which were working as designed but after a few months one unit started having problems ejecting disks then recalibrated it and worked fine for a few days then had issues again and the cycle goes on and on between recalibration and eject errors, my second unit is now having the same issues and Imation support is useles thus they are going to the trash.
Unhappy with this unit.......2007-07-03
I purchased this item online and it arrived in a few days. I was planning to purchase 6 for my DVD library but after having problems with this one I
changed my mind.
The unit jammed everytime I attempted to eject a disc. I contacted tech support at Imation and after three calls the tech support folks told me to send it back to the dealer. I purchased it from Antonline and they wouldnt take it back. They said Imation would have to supply a replacement since it was under warranty. After another call to imation tech support I was given a replacement. I had to box up the defective unit, pay for shipping and wait for it to arrive a week later.
If you are looking to use this unit for anything other than a paperweight, You should not waste your money.
Nice Concept, poor design.......2007-06-07
I have ordered 3 of these, 2 arrived defective. The one that works is great! they apparently have a design flaw which prevents discs from being ejected. Returning/exchanging is a time consuming process. I'd look at alternative vendors.
Great Normally.......2007-05-20
I now own 3 of these, and they all act the same. 95% of the time they work as advertised and have absolutely no problems at all. That other 5% is when they just don't eject a disk and you need to try it a second time to get what you want out. I've even had it lose a disk, which takes a 20 minute maintenance cycle to figure out. I have also had very minor software issues (missing disk entry) which were easily figured out. But over all, these have performed quite well.
