Toslink Cable
Hi I need help on my HD AV cable & my TOSLINK cable?
Hi am trying to get "5.1 sound" buy using HD AV cable & TOSLINK cable. Ok I plug the TOSLINK into the little square port on the HD AV cable. Then were do I connect the end TOSLINK at? I check the back of my HDTV & it find the little square port to plug the TOSLINK in. Maybe I do not have the little square port on the back of my HDTV? If I don't what do I need? Thank you!
I CAN'T FIND THE LITTLE SQUARE PORT ON THE BACK OF MY HDTV. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
TV's don't have this TOSLINK plug. You need a dedicated 5.1 surround sound decoder with an optical Toslink connector.
As almost all TVs only have stereo speakers and only create a pseudo surround effect with those two speakers, there is no way to connect the Toslink to your TV.

Get Linked to the Future: HDMI & Toslink Cables
Watching television today involves much more than "watching." It's an experience. With the digital revolution occurring in technology, plasma and high definition televisions offer consumers incredible home entertainment possibilities. To take full advantage of this technology, however, it is important to do it right and move beyond not only the analog televisions of the past, but the analog cables as well and invest in HDMI, High Definition Multimedia Interface, and Toslink cables.
The way the HDMI cable works is that it connects with a USB connection between the TV and the cable or satellite receiver, it sends uncompressed digital data which is what causes the increased clarity and sound we associate with digital and high definition. All of the most recent televisions, even if not high def, can benefit from using the HDMI cable. But your most transforming experience will be using it between a HDTV and a high def signal from the cable or satellite company, a little more money but a great visual and audio enhanced experience.
Toshiba created the Toslink cable in 1983, they connect the TV with the audio/video output. They take advantage of fiber optic technology which transmits light, this provides a signal with no interference from ground, electro-magnetic or radio frequency. It's been used for a while to provide a high quality digital audio for surround sound systems that are Dolby which require the Toslink cable.
There are a lot of components now days that come with connections for both HDMI and Toslink so you may be confused as to what to use. When you buy a components such as a Blu-ray or DVD player they come with their own cables so you just hook them up. But besides those you make a decision about how much of an experience you want, HDMI has audio and video capabilities so it can do a lot for you.
Should you desire an even more defined audio experience, such as that found with CD players, DAT recorders or surround-sound systems, Toslink cables offer superior digital audio capabilities and could be combined with HDMI to create a television or technology experience far beyond the mere "watching" television of the past.
