![]() ![]() ![]() This makes sense when you consider that a TV only has two speakers, but it's unfortunate as it makes the connection a bit more complicated to a non-HDMI-equipped receiver. A Panasonic TV I tested converted a 5.1-channel input signal from a cable box (connected via HDMI) into a 2-channel output. Also, not all TVs support passthrough of the original Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 signal from the source all the way to the external audio receiver so your desired connection (HDMI from satellite box and DVD player to TV, fiberoptic S/PDIF digital output from TV to receiver) actually may not be the best one. While standard optical digital (S/PDIF) connections do support the Dolby Digital signals in your set top box and DVD player, they do not support the advanced codecs of Blu-ray Disc, should you ever decide to upgrade - this requires HDMI. Unfortunately you got some bad advice about not needing HDMI audio support in your receiver. ![]()
