I tried plugging my djconsole to my minidisc recorder to record a mix, but there seems to be no signal... I know the cable is fine, and so is the minidisc as it works with other optical equipement.
I did read the other posts on the subject, but I did not find a solution. Thanks for your help,

I know that the optical output of my DJ Console is working (stereo only, I tried it on my amplifier).
I do not know if the input works... of course it should :|

There is no special configuration or anything I should know to "activate" it?

No, I don't think.
The main analog output must be a copy of the digital output.

Did your MD recorder have already works with digital input ?
On mine :
- MZ-R50
- MDS - M100
I must switch the record option to digital/optical
I don't have the djconsole, i'm using 2 soundcard with optical output (Terratec Sixpack 5.1+ and SBlive 5.1 Platinium + Live! drive IR) and on both i must activate optical on the config parts, they arn't active by default, maybe that the same with the DJconsole.

My MD recorder can only record from a digital source. It cannot output an optical signal. I wanted to record digitally what I'm mixing FROM the djconsole TO the MD player/recorder...
I know the MD's optical in works because I tried it successfully with other optical devices, but there doesn't seem to be a signal coming out of my djconsole's optical out port... :|

Problem fixed -- I contacted Hercules and they said that sometimes the optical out doesn't work on some consoles when the USB port doesn't give the console enough power... They recommend a powered hub.
I have another computer here that had no devices attached to it, so I tested the console on that computer... And indeed, it worked. So I'll eventually have to get a powered USB hub...
