It looks like Sonos is coming out with a Sonos Playbar. This allows you to hook your TV's OPTICAL out directly into it and skip the need for a receiver basically.
Now I know my current 4 year old Panasonic Plasma will only pass the OTA 5.1 audio source through the Optical out and not pass through other HDMI signal sources.
That being said do any current TV's pass through the HDMI audio? And if so what is this feature called to look for on a new set?
I hope this makes sense as I don't know exactly what this ability is called.
Thanks.
