Monster optical cable with H/K AVR 430

Need a little help here folks.
I've never used optical cables before, so I don't exactly know if I'm doing something wrong or if my cable is bad.
I'm trying to use a Monster lightpipe cable from my Pioneer 587a DVD player to my HK AVR 430 for 2-channel audio. But no matter what I do to the player or receiver, I can't get audio to go through. When setting different options in the Pioneer player, I can see the red light go on/off. So I believe the player is sending the signal. On the receiver, I set the input to Video 2/ Optical In, but I get nothing. Using a digital coax works fine.
I've also tried using this optical cable from my PlayStation 2 to the receiver. Still nothing.
Anybody have a similar situation or some advice for me? Could it just be a bad cable?
Thanks in advance.
Mike.

On the HK's you have to assign which optical input you are using. Make sure that the Video 2 input is saying optical 1 if you are using optical 1. As an alternative set it like you were and try using the different optical inputs until of them works."Sure, everything looks bad if you remember it!"
