I've tried using mono adapters, they don't seem to work at all.
So far, the only thing that's worked for me - and this is going from the X850B 5 years ago to new X850G / X950G models this year - is not pushing the cable in all the way. Judging by not having any issues using this with the X850B over those 5 years, the connection will be fine.
Back when I discovered this issue with the X850B, I suggested for others that if they were concerned they could try to find some plastic/nylon washers they could install on the cable end to use as spacers.
Thanks for the response, Daniel. I guess I'll just have to deal with the cable only being partially inserted. It's no big deal, since the MRF-350 is in a cabinet and won't get jostled very often. It's just kind of annoying that Sony has to do it differently than everyone else. I'm controlling my Denon with a direct connection from that same base station, and it has always worked fine without any kludges.
