    When it comes to the sound from the tv, all you need is an optical cable.
    Quality the same as with HDMI.

    Is there any difference at all? Because I'll tell you honestly that I have never let the sound go any different than analog and I'm going to change finally the receiver for such with optical / hdmi because currently the sound flies through the headphone output from the smart tv, so a little poorly ...

    There is no difference between HDMI and optical difference. Both are digital transmission. There are a lot of disturbances after the analogue, but the sound we receive is a very subjective matter and I know those who can not hear any difference ...
    If your friend wants to buy an ampituner, I recommend choosing one with HDMI ARC (with return channel). Then anyway, such equipment is connected to the TV with an HDMI cable and the sound flies the same cable from the TV to the ampituner.
    I suggest reading a short text link

    Thank you Kolego for the exact explanation. I understood everything now :) In general I had to buy something used in the 500-600PLN range (I can even buy 30km from myself ONKYO TX-SR307). In total, in this amount I am able to get both with optical and with hdmi, so actually after buying I will be able to choose how I connect :)

    Tv has. But anyway, the receiver in this money probably will not overcome the sound after hdmi so I decided that the optical can is probably the easiest and easiest.

    Connect to the question. I have an android box connected via HDMI to the TV and the optical output directly from the box to the dia f3o d3 farther to the stereo amplifier. I also have a playstation 3 and I need to open the optical cable between the box and ps3 depending What do I use. Would lose the quality with the image from two devices through hdmi to the TV and from the television only to the optical cable to the amplifier. Using one or the other device would change only the source on the tv without having to rewire the optician sound .

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the comparison between optical cables and HDMI outputs for transmitting sound from a smart TV to a receiver. Participants agree that both optical and HDMI provide similar digital sound quality, with no significant difference in performance. One user mentions transitioning from analog sound to digital, considering a new receiver that supports both connection types. The importance of HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) is highlighted, suggesting that if the TV supports it, using HDMI could simplify connections. However, some users prefer optical cables for their ease of use and reliability, especially when dealing with multiple devices. The conversation also touches on practical setups involving devices like Android boxes and PlayStation 3, emphasizing the flexibility of using optical connections for sound while managing video through HDMI.
