Hello,

I did some research but I can't find a detailed answer regarding my TV/home cinema setup.
I hesitated with the HiFi forum but I think the issue lies with the TV.

I have a Toshiba Regza TV (old model 37C3030DG HD ready) which has an optical output. However, I can't find in the TV menu where and how to activate the optical output. I can only enable or disable the built-in speakers. But I haven't found anything regarding activating the digital optical output that would allow me to output sound from my various devices connected via HDMI to the TV, which then goes through the home cinema.

As for the home cinema, it's the Sony BDV E4100, although I believe the problem clearly comes from the activation on the TV. When I connect it directly to one of the devices, there are no operating issues.

Here is a link with information about the TV http://www.vente-internet.fr/37c3030dg.html

So if anyone has this model, there might be a hidden option that I haven't discovered yet!

Thanks in advance.

I believe I found my answer. After yet another long quest, I found a manual that diagrams the various outputs and inputs of the TV, and at the optical output it says "DTV Only," so indeed it is unavailable for the HDMI inputs of the beast!

Completely stupid! So you have the RCA output left, but you will only have an analog sound, stereo only, to connect to the Analog Stereo input (x1 RCA) of the home.

haha yes it's pretty stupid indeed, the false hope! I had done the RCA initially while waiting to find a solution, it will be a longer-lasting solution until the next TV then (this Toshiba is invincible, it's been 11 years that it lasts under heavy use without a hitch)! In the meantime, the PS4 is at least benefiting from it!

thank you!
