on my old samsung i was able to use the hdmi and optical out and if i had the used the hdmi it would reroute to my optical which is hooked up to my receiver....on the new samsung it does not do that....if i use the hdmi it will not reroute to the optical everything else but the hdmi....is there a firmware that fixes this or something as simple as a setting because i have been through every menu on the tv
yeah bout to check in a min but i think the digital out is shared with one of the opticals....just an FYI did you know you can use a video cable for the digital out....actually works better....but anyways its a samsung dlp....model hlt5676s i believe
I have used video cable for digital audio on short runs in many cases and it has worked well. I wouldn't necessarily say better but spending 6 times as much for a "digital" cable is ridiculous!
