Panasonic E55 audion connection

I currently have my Toshiba DVD player (on its last legs) connected to my Toshiba Picture frame TV via a co-axial audio connection. I want to replace the DVD player with the Panasonic recordable E55 but it doesn't have a co-axial connection. I can apparently buy an adapter for around £35 to connect the co-axial to the optical point on the DVD, but would I be better off connecting the two via an optical connection? Which would provide the better sound? What would you do?

 

Your ears will not be able to detect the difference.

 

Thanks Nick, so you would buy the adapter? Where would be the best place to buy it from? Would it be available from my local Curry's/Comet?

 

It doesn't seem to be the sort of thing that Currys/Comet would stock. The only place I've seen them is Maplin at £14.99 and they appear to be out of stock at the moment.

Maybe someone else could suggest a source ?

 

keene/lektropacks??? can i ask why the E55 (cracking machine) instead of a Tosh recorder?
