Best home theater setup.

Home theater sound setup: Which is best? PCM, optical (Toslink), dolby, from tv or devices?

  • I want the best surround sound possible WITH WHAT I HAVE :) LOL --My TV is a Sony Bravia with an optical output. --My DVD (not Blu-ray) player has both an optical and a Dolby output. --My cable box has an SPDIF optical output. My main question is: Since both my cable box and DVD are hooked up through the TV via HDMI, can't I just run one optical cable from the TV to the audio receiver and still get the best sound (is there any kind of sound quality loss)? Or should I get an optical modulator and hook them all up separately? Please help :)

  • Answer:

    You have to connect optical cable directly from your devices to receiver for the best sound.
