ok i actually have 2 questions here:
1. My surround sound receiver has only 1 optical and 1 coax input. so i run all my devices (DVD, ps3, HD DVR) to my TV via HDMI and i have an optical cable running from the digital output of my TV to the surround receiver. by doing it this way my receiver outputs Pro Logic II. i can only get 5.1 if i plug directly from the device to the receiver. should i be getting 5.1 the way i have it hooked up? if i need to change a setting would it be in the device or TV? by the way it's a 47" 120hz Vizio and a yamaha HTR-5920 receiver.
2. I have another TV that has a digital coax output but theres only analog (red & white) inputs. is there some kind of conversion built in the TV or is the digital output useless.
