I tried this, and I am happy to report that solder does in fact stick to the plug (I had feared it would not), and that it was relatively easy to apply. I even filed off what I thought was excess easily, and inserted it…only to find that I had badly underestimated how much I had applied, and wrecked the socket pretty badly.
I’m not sure how I will fix this. Still, it was an excellent idea, which just needs a more competant technician.
I know the input side is Toslink. The output side on the TV looks proprietary which is why I specified the make and model. (Or maybe its just a fancy cover, and I don’t know how to get it off?)

Was thinking application programming… and considering Java and or C Sharp… any better suggestions?

Hey, thanks so much. I forget that Google is my friend. Your link to the manual did the trick.
