Will this TV convert HDMI Input Audio source to Optical Audio format? Without a separate HDMI switch, I want to pass 5.1 channel audio from an AppleTV (HDMI) through the TV to a SONOS Playbar (Optical). If not, do any 55" Sony TVs have this feature? null

It 'probably' will work.
While I have not tried this specifically, I have another similar setup that works. I have an optical cable going from the TV to a Sony amp for audio from the TV's on-board apps (Netflix and Amazon) and it passes 5.1 as you would expect.

Hi Greg,
No. This specific operation is not possible.
Thanks,
