Not this again. The only difference between the two is that there is no difference. They are 99.999% identical. Except that one is optical (uses light or something) and one is not. The optical cable is easier to break (by bending) but the coaxial is a little tougher to break down. IMO, if your receiver is close to your dvd player, use an optical cable. If the receiver is far (more than 2 feet) use a coaxial cable.
