• No. You need to use an HDMI cable from your ear/arc hdmi port to the soundbar. Optical is not compatible with Dolby Atmos. It's old tech.

• Hi weick24, thanks for your inquiry about the HTST5000 soundbar. You can use just an HDMI cable and connect it to the HDMI ARC ports of both devices. You may find this link helpful: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/4687/3e3e599d110bedd22ea7eac66de05d3b/46878361M.pdf ~Ralph
