Can I hook it up with my Samsung Smart TV using digital optical?

I don't see how you'd do that: there is no digital optical in/output on this model. The Sonata AR30 is really designed to be a compact audio amp. It uses RCA-type plugs for audio in and record & sub out: no HDMI, no coax, no optical jacks. I specifically bought an out-of-production blu-ray player with RCA audio out jacks to use with this amp.

No. All inputs are analogue. You probably can use the analogue out puts of the Samsung if there are any. Sorry.

I don't see any digital optical connection in the back. The unit is a (very) decent receiver for an MP3 player (I use my iPhone) and a CD/other connection. If you are interested in running the audio through the Sonata, you can use the RCA audio out from TV to the receiver, then onto the speakers. You may want to go to the Cambridge website, download the manual and look at the diagram for the rear of the unit.

Ours is a Samsung smart TV and I couldn't get it to work. At all. It wouldn't connect.

I assume you have a "smart" TV and are obtaining the content from the internet directly to the TV. If so, you have to select TV/CD as the source on the receiver. Also, you have to have either a digital sound return via HDMI from the TV back to the receiver or you have to use a digital optical cable. Which one you use depends on what the TV supports, really. I had to use the optical cable with my Samsung EH5300.

You just connect it directly to the tv. Using the optical cable works best if your tv has that capability

No. Smart TV's are wired into the internet and have the capability to play media from it in addition to standard TV capabilities via antenna or satellite/cable

no - digital optical (fiber) only. there maybe some phono jacks to, but i don't think that is the basis of your question. you can also pair devices via bluetooth.

Yes, it has a digital optical output that I use to connect to my sound bar. This is a great tv and you cannot beat the price, especially with the ROKU stick included. Enjoy!

No, you must get some type of adapter, i.e. bluetooth dongle. There are ones with digital optical outputs that use Apt-x, which is a format for very good digital sound. I am going to get this TV but I'm disappointed that it's not Bluetooth enabled.

Yes you can, however I have not used this feature, it's too cumbersome. I have mine attached to my main TV which is a LG Smart TV which already has streaming and is much easier to use. If I were doing it today I would buy a sound bar, and maybe a sub, CD's, DVD' and Blue Ray's are on the way out. My non smart TV I use a ROKU box, much easier to use.

Samsung TVs are limited to output 2 channel via the optical output. It's DRM. You have to bypass the TV with your audio source to receive true surround signals.

Samsung didn't think it out very well. I used an digital fibre optical cable in the back of the tv and into the sound bar . Works wonderfully.

Probably. Anything with a digital out. I have a smart TV so it had a hookup for it.

Yes, you can with a roku player. The tv itself is not a smart tv but with roku it is.

I tried it with my Samsung Smart TV. Couldn't get it to work, so I returned it.

Yes, it depends on the source. If the source can read the format and send the digital via optical, the D/A converter will work.
