Don't be sorry, everybody has questions. Think like this, you've got the guts
to ask the question!
A TosLink connection is used to connect a digital playback device (CD-Player)
and a digital recording device (MD recorder) with a fibre optic cable. The
optical cable has the advantage that it is imune for electrical interference.
Thus less errors are expected. The socket at the back of the CD-Player that
'outputs' an optical digital signal is called a TosLink transmitter. The
socket that receives an optical digital signal on the MD recorder is called
a TosLink receiver. A TosLink cable with a TosLink connector on both end
connects between both of them.
If you're MD recorder has a RCA type digital in (better known as coaxial digital
in), you can connect the coaxial digital out directly to your coaxial digital
in of your MD recorder. If not, you need a coaxial to TosLink converter. This
is a little device that changes an electrical digital signal into an optical
digital signal (coaxial -> optical) or visa versa.

Hmmm..... I think that's going to be difficult. I only see two sollutions:
1) an RF modulator
This is a little device that connects to the antenna in of your car
CD player. It takes an input signal and converts this into a 'radio
station' that can be captured with the radio part of your CD-player.
Advantages:
- It gives you virtually an extra input on your in dash CD-player
Disadvantages:
- Many listmembers have reported drifting of the signal from the
RF modulator. This makes it difficult to keep locked to this
signal
- FM is limited to 15kHz bandwidth
2) If your head is a Sony, big chances that you can connect a MD-changer.
Cheers,
Ralph
