The optical jack is listed with inputs. This cannot be configured as an output to run to a receiver im assuming?

Must be a typo the optical jack is a 1 x Digital S/PDIF ( toslink up to 5.1) channelOutput

There are 2 optical connections and one 1/4" or 3/8 stereo input. I am just not sure of the size, but is the normal speaker sized jack on a pc

I don't see why it wouldn't as long as your receiver had an optical out or HDMI out, which most do. Seems like overkill though. Aren't you going the soundbar route to save space and cable runs?

It has optical input and output. But it will not process a 7.1 signal from an AVR. Only works with 2 channel stereo.

You probably have discovered by now that this unit does not have optical (toslink) audio out, only digital coax (a single RCA jack that may have a yellow colored collar). Hope this helps! - Dr.Maxx

Not being one to use that feature, I had to check for myself. And to confirm what has been answered previous, there's 2 audio out ports, 1 for analog audio, and the other for digital audio [optical].

I am guessing you have a smart/web connected TV and you want the sound to come from the receiver. Check if your TV has an audio output either digital/optical . Look at your TV settings . I am guessing the TV has multiple HDMI ports. How would the TV know where to send the output ?

i don't understand the previous two answers. I have a powered soundbar and connect to my Dennon receiver via either the HDMI output from the receiver or the toslink fiber optics output from my Dennon Receiver. Wy wouldn't you run all inputs into your receiver and then from receiver to sound bar.

It has a digital audio out (optical). You need to get an optical cord and connect it to your receiver. http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp;_id=10229Need a toslink to toslink cable

Yes, I have it directly connected to our cable box. You should be able to use either an optical cable or the receivers audio outputs.

Hi Kevins8! unfortunately this projector does not have an Optical Toslink Output. Only has an 3.5 jack output for sound. I don't know which connection you would like to do, but I give you mine, as an example: PC (Media Center, XBMC) audio & video output through HDMI v.1.4 to Yamaha AV Receiver (with 3D support feature) and video output through HDMI v1.4 to Projector. Regards! Tomás M.

It has optical in, I don't see optical out. I will add photos to the listing so you can see all jacks on the back. Thank you for your interest.

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0. Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up.

Um, yeah that's a good question. I'm not saying u can't do it bit Not aware of a way to make the device work w/o going through my surround sound either. Honestly, even though I bought the device, sadly I came across the same thing and ended up not using it. However, you might be able to run optical out of th cable box and try that way. I'm really sorry I'm not much help but understand the frustrations

Without knowing more about you setup (type of TV, etc.) I cannot answer with certainty. If you have the receiver and the TV connection via HDMI from the receivers HDMI out you might be able to use TV audio return channel. Otherwise connecting the optical cable should work, just make sure you have the correct mode selected on the receiver. I believe it is TV but it could be different. Check the manual.

No, this is for a specific port designed to output video. http://www.meetmhl.com/WhatIsMHL.aspx Your best bet is to run composite outputs with fiber optic audio or get a new system. I had the same problem with mine.

Checked last night and there is one optical connection (Toslink). Hope this helps.
