Have you tried using the phono (analogue) connections instead of the optical ones?

 

[soundwave43]

No will try that thanks never thought wanted to just use the optical.

Should work fine, the only difference will be that the audio is processed by the DAC in your minidisc player instead of the amp/receiver.
One more thought, did you make sure you didn't have the optical input and output mixed up?

So will it work with just one audio inputs in the phono. Will that deal with play and record. No i did put the opticals in the correct in outs then i mixed them the other way didnt work. So will try in the phono cheers

You might have to assign the optical input and output to the source selected

You need to connect two pairs.
The output from the minidisc to the input on the receiver, then output of receiver to input of minidisc. The receiver probably has two pairs labelled as "tape" which would be ideal.
