“I have an older receiver & I run HDMI from back of the tv hdmi 1 input to my hdmi output on my computer. In order to get sound to my speakers I have to run an optical cable from tv to the receiver. Will I have to have the optical cable for this receiver?”

• Your TV would need to have ARC (Audio Return Channel) HDMI. If so, you would connect your computer to one of the AV receiver's HDMI inputs and then connect the ARC output on the reliever to the ARC HDMI on the TV. In this setup no optical cable needed.

• If your tv doesn't support ARC, you'll need the optical cable.
