The Optical Digital Audio Output on the LG SK8000PUA 4K HDR Smart LED SUPER UHD TV w/ AI ThinQ® - 65" Class (64.5" Diag), Model # 65SK8000PUA or on any device using the Optical Digital Audio Port can pass multi-channel audio like Dolby Digital. The types of digital audio signals that can be transferred by a digital optical connection include two-channel stereo PCM, Dolby Digital/Dolby Digital EX, DTS Digital Surround, and DTS ES. Digital audio signals, such as 5.1/7.1 multi-channel PCM, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS:X, and Auro 3D Audio cannot be transferred via Digital Optical connections. These formats require HDMI connections. When the digital optical connection was developed, it was made to comply with the digital audio standards at the time (mainly 2-channel CD playback), which did not include 5.1/7.1 channel PCM, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD Master Audio, or DTS:X. In other words, digital optical cables do not have the bandwidth capacity to handle some of the newer home theater surround sound formats...^IFV
