Digital Optical Out? does the Sharp LC52D85U 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV have a digital Optical Output?

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

Yes it does, but Sharp told me that it does not transmit content that comes into the TV from any of the HMDI inputs.

YES IT DOES. It's on the side. Here's a link to the consumer reports review of this TV, you'll see a picture with the TOSLink Digital Optical Audio out on the side of the TV. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/electronics-computers/audio-video/tvs/lcd-and-plasma-tvs-ratings/models/user-reviews/sharp-aquos-lc-55le643u-99051627.htm

No optical input. This a budget receiver with decent sound for the money. You can do better if you are willing to spend a bit more.

I bought this TV for a second home. The Condo Unit comes with analog and digital cable. When I do the Channel Setup Scan ( both Analog and Digital), I only pick up the Analog. I was told that I need a convertor. I also bought a small Sony LCD, and when I did the Setup. it picked up both Analog and Digital and was able to view the HD Channels. Any suggestions??

No, if the Phillips blu ray is outputting a digital signal you need to convert it to analog first.

No. I wish it was, but I put a small piece of Black "Shim" block and it is fine.I have it on my Kitchen counter. It is a GREAT TV!!! Gets Hi Def without a cable box!!!! Hi Def.... Not just Digital.. Also has an EQ to adjust the speakers.

Looking at manual for the 3.0 model, it does not have optical cable input. The model that does have an optical cable input is "TV Ears Digital", Item Number 11241. Therefore, it appears that "TV Ears 3.0", Item Number 11341, should not be described as Digital. See tvears.com, Customer Support, for manuals.

It has a standard digital coax port and a optical port as well you just have to make sure you turn it on in the settings under Dolby digital

It has optical/toslink out. I'm pretty sure it down-mixes the output to stereo, though.

Optical in and RCA 2 channel out. This is the reason for the unit to convert digital (optical) to analog (RCA 2 channel typically). Works great.

Hi! Yes. On the back there's a port that is labeled "Optical Digital Audio Output". Hope this helps!

This TV does support Variable and Fixed audio output through digital optical.

No but does have a digital out. They call it spdif but its pretty much the same thing as Coaxil digital cable i had to call tcl to find out which cable i need to get sound from the tv to my surround sterio.

you can get the manual from the panasonic website which includes this info... as i recall from skimming through the manual (just ordered this tv and i'm waiting for it to come in) it definitely has an optical output and i'm sure it has a standard RCA stereo output

Thanks for the kind response. Unfortunately, none of the efforts resulted in this TV to scan all digital and analog channels under the same "digital and analog channel search" function.Amazon.com support was excellent in sending a new replacement with just a simple phone call, as this unit apparently has a faulty tuner.

Yes, it does. There is a jack in the back that says it's a Digital Audio Out (Optical). This is a very nice TV! And it works well with DirecTv's 3D programming. When I bought mine it came with a Samsung 3D DVD player and that renders exceptional 3D as well.

It does have one digital coaxial audio output, but I haven't tested that. Other than that, it's just HDMI.My system goes from the Blu-Ray player to my TV, then my TV outputs optical audio to my sound system. If my sound system was a bit newer, it would probably have HDMI pass through and that wouldn't be an issue, but alas, it's not.
