    Can't get sound from optical port on Samsung TV to Sony sound system.

    UPDATE. Haven't got around getting a new Toslink cable to run more tests, but did follow the advice to use the VIDEO input on the Sony receiver, with RCA AUDIO OUT from the Samsung TV and it sounds great. It may not be digital and all that, but it does the trick. Thank you, everyone, for your help.

    The one menu option in the Sound section that indicates that could select an output, is greyed-out. =/

    I'll try another optical cable, it could be something as simple as that. Thanks!

    Of course. Currently, this is the only way to get the sound from the MacBook to the Sony amp: Headphone 3.5 jack to RCA in the back of the Sony. When attempting to get the optical audio from the TV, I unplug the 3.5 jack, so the TV gives sound, still no joy from the optical out. So weird.

    Hi. Yes, when I had the TV speakers on AND the headphone jack to RCA was OFF from the MacBook Pro, the sound came straight from the TV (being fed from the HDMI cable, I'm guessing), if I plugged in the jack, the sound would instead come from the Sony and not the TV.

    Hello everyone. I have an old LN32R83BD Samsung TV. It has a plethora of ports in the back, one of them is a Toslink optical OUT, so naturally, I want to connect said TV to an also old MHC-S7AV Sony sound system's optical IN. I thought it was pretty straight forward: OUT --> IN: done—no such...

    Newbie question: Why does the image looks darker when I use component video on my TV?

    I did use an RCA cable, since I am not 100% that I need an actual component cable...It does sound logical, though.... I'll stop by Radio Shack and check the prices... Thanks! :D

    Newbie question: Why does the image looks darker when I use component video on my TV?

    Hello! I recently upgraded the TV in my HT to a Flat Screen Samsung Tantus. I connected my Pioneer Dv 535 DVD player to the new TV using the component video outputs and to my dismay, the picture looks darker than the image displayed using the composite video output....I must mention that I am...
