In this case, the optical jack from the source device (Blu-ray Disc Player, DVD player, cable or satellite box) should be connected directly to the home theater or stereo system to get the sound.įollow the steps below to troubleshoot if the optical jack does not appear to be working. Additionally, sound sent to the TV through an HDMI connection or other input also may not output through the optical jack. A secondary analog connection can be used to pass the audio signal in this situation. If the content does not contain a digital audio signal, then no sound can be heard through this connection. (PCM or Dolby Digital technology) This feature is available on select digital broadcasts and streaming video, and is not supported on standard cable or analog stations.

I use a very simple amplifier for my stereo setup rather than a "old school" receiver with remote switching/volume, etc. The ONLY DAC on the market with IR remote, Harmony remote can also be used.
