What type of audio it provided thru the HDMI port? I have a Surround system and do not want to sacrifice sound separation and quality?

Can't tell you for sure, but I could not tell any difference in sound quality. Just a note, I am 63 years old, so maybe there is, maybe there isn't.

Mine was a HDMI cable into a TV (hdmi port). And on top of it all, this was probably 3 or 4 years ago too, so you never know what has changed with chip updates and all.

Problem I had with this is I was going from my DVI port on the Mac to HDMI using an adapter cable, but the DVI port doesn't carry audio, only video. My work around was then wiring an audio cable from the headphone jack of the computer to my surround system. (In my case I used a 3.5mm to RCA cable). Gets messy with extra wires but it does the trick for now.

Use HDMI into your receiver and it will drive 7.1 speakers with no problems, assuming that your video is encoded for 7.1 sound.

hdmi can actually support higher quality audio codecs, so hdmi will be best

I never tried that. I don't have mine anymore.i went to a surround sound unit made by a different manufacturer.

I had this problem. The solution: Make sure you have an HDMI or Optical cable connected directly to the soundbar from source (My AT&T Uverse box). Make sure to set the audio settings in your source to output "surround". Most cable boxes come pre-programmed to output "stereo". You will hear the difference immediately...and it kicks A**!

I got a Sony surround sound / DVD system that sounds great. Any sound system that has an HDMI connection will work good.

If you can use the toslink cable, that's one less HDMI connection you'll use on your tv or receiver. To my knowledge there's no difference in sound data. Also sometimes, sound-only over HDMI is not compatible between devices.

I hooked mine up to my surround sound system, but unfortunately the sound only came through one speaker. Hope you have better luck.

You are going to need a splitter cable. The sound quality was pretty bad, like talking into a tin can.

You could always try plugging the other end in. Otherwise just make sure in your sound settings you don't have "internal speakers" selected. You want the sound output going through the HDMI cord. Hope that helps.

Hi Eddie. I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great. Greg

HDMI carries both audio and video. I have mine plugged into a 24 inch TV. The audio comes through the TV speakers. If you want more sound such as surround sound connect a sound system to the TV.

5.1 Surround Sound is a product of the A/V signal itself. You can get a AV Receiver and hook the signal to it and then come out of the audio system (AVR) HDMI to your TV, and since the signals are all digital, there will be no degradation of the quality. My girlfriend has an older 5.1 system that gets its audio information encoded from the video signal, and uses an older Composite (yellow) video signal to decode the audio information. You can even get the audio from an HDMI on some systems. Check with the system you are interested in...and then shop around for others. On the back there is one stereo headphone jack that you can use as a stereo analog signal to hook up to a regular stereo system/amp/etc. Here is what LG has to say about that TV: Daniel: Hello Joe Smith. Welcome to LG Electronics U.S.A. Support only. How may I provide you with excellent service today? Joe Smith: Hello - Joe Smith: Concerning the 47LA6200, does it support Surround Sound and if so, what port do you hook up a system to? Daniel: I would be happy to help you with that. Daniel: I would like to please place you on a brief hold while I research that for you, will that be alright? Joe Smith: YEs, thank you! Daniel: You are welcome. Daniel: Thank you for your patience while I researched that for you. Daniel: You can hook up a sound system on the optical port. Joe Smith: Does it support 5.1 Surround or just stereo? Daniel: It will support both. Joe Smith: Thanks...have a great day! Daniel: You are welcome! is there anything else I can assist you with today? Joe Smith: Nope, that's it. Love my LG TV! :-)

Yes, I do understand the concept. What I am saying is that, typically, older generation HDTVs will NOT be capable of splitting the HDMI audio through to the receiver. Instead, the receiver will be producing simulated surround sound. Yes, you will hear audio from all speakers, but no, it will not be true surround.
