Just purchased a Sammy 55 inch 6350 ty. My av receiver (Yamaha HTR-5950) is a dinosaur with no hdmi capabilities. Along with the receiver, my setup includes a 3.1 klipsch speakers, a blu - ray and cable box. Everything works fine when watching tv or a blu-ray disc and I can get the sound out of the klipsch speakers. Problem is whaen I use a tv app (like youtube), the only sound is thru the tv speakers. Do I need to purchase an optical cable and attach it to the digital output (back of tv) to the receiver (digital input md-cdr)? I looked all over the internet for an answer including a chat with Samasung technical support to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

Yup, that would be the connection.

Yes.

Belden makes good cables.

Any cheap one will probably be fine.

Thanks to all who responded. Got the needed cable from Monoprice and all seems to be in order.
