samsung lcd with optical output
I have a samsung LE40M87BDX full HD LCD TV, Sky HD, XBOX360, PS3 and DVD Recorder connected through a Pioneer Receiver amp.
the problem is the amp does not have enough HDMI ports for all the kit so i want to plug some of them into the HDMI ports on the TV and route the sound back to the amp with TOSLINK optical cable. unfortunately the output from the TV seems to only send stereo. do any of you guys know how i can make it send 5.1 as they do when connected directly to the amp |

thanks for your replies, the amp can handle the optical easily and i dont use the hdmi for anything but picture so as the Tv cannot help me i will have to spend a vast amount of money getting an amp with more HDMI and optical connections.
unfortunately my family are technically challenged so i have to make life simple for them even if it costs |
