A development I found annoying.

Our main TV is a Sony Bravia in the family room. Like many other Sony's they still provide an analog audio output. In our case, it's just a 3.5mm mini stereo jack behind the TV. There are benefits to this which we've used in the past.
For example, when we had our ZEVOX soundbar hooked up to the TV, we used the analog output from the Sony to drive the soundbar. The benefit in this case was that we could use the Sony remote (or the programmed cable box remote) to adjust the Volume output w/o having to use the ZEVOX remote. One less remote to deal with.
In the present setup we're using the optical output from the Sony TV to drive a cheapie DAC behind the Marantz integrated amp. In this case we are forced to use the Marantz remote and the cable box remote.
So on the Sony we do get output from TOSLINK Optical as well as the analog 3.5mm jack even though our sources come into the TV via HDMI.
Hi and sorry to hear that.
And i am surprised about the Pioneer digital out not working.
This is very annoying also.
I tried the toslink out from my tv and was working quite ok also.
One thing is sure ... when i go back to the internal speakers of the TV i am shocked by their poor sound.
They are extremely low quality.
Almost unbearable actually.
Kind regards,

I ended up using HDMI ARC (audio return channel){same HDMI cable as video from BD player to TV} from my TV to my Oppo 103 which has analog out to my amp. It works well, and cuts down on the number of cables used.

Hi ! very interesting !
i did not know that the Oppo 103 had a HDMI in ... very very good.
Other solutions that i have not tried could be the HDMI switchers like the one in the picture
but i guess that the very good ones (professional like Gefen) are very very expensive
Kind regards,

The Oppo can accept audio Input from the same HDMI output that I;m using to send signal to my TV. This may be the way things go in the future.
I had a 2-way HDMI switcher that was rather cheap. Monoprice has them. It worked well.

" The Oppo can accept audio Input from the same HDMI output that I;m using to send signal to my TV "Hi ! it is clearly a great brand making really outstanding products
and i am sure that the AV quality is very high
But lately i found myself watching a lot Netflix and streaming cd ripped and stored in a Nas ... so i am more intrigued by AV streamers, possibly with a great spdif out.
I am a little worried about the transport mechanisms ... they can develop issues. But i guess the streaming part of the units will still work anyway. I could look for an Oppo like the 103 pretty soon.
Maybe i will find some nice bargain ...
Thanks again for the very interesting information.
Kind regards,
