If my Home theater receiver do not have HDMI option, Can I send the Audio out from the TV to receiver via optical cable ? I have yamaha RX-V795a receiver which do not have the HDMI option. Can I take the audio out from the TV via optical / digital audio cable into the receiver and get the same sound quality in 2D & 3D viewing?
I already has 5.1 speakers systems in place for the current rear projection TV.
Can I view the regular DVD (Not the Blue ray) on this TV without HDMI connection (In 2D & 3D) format?

Not all Home Theater systems have the option of sending audio from the TV using HDMI.

The optical cable option will work provided your receiver accepts an optical input. If not, the analog signal from the TV will send the audio just fine that way, also. However, for that, you may need a 3.5mm male to RCA cable, which is not included.

Sending the audio separately from the video will not affect the 3-D viewing.

Regular DVDs can be played in most Blu-Ray players, but you can connect a separate DVD player if you want to using the composite or component inputs.

Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions.
