I have an optical out from my cable box connected to my receiver. In addition, I have the HTMI cable from the cable box to the TV. This is so I can listen to the TV without having the reciever on.

If you do this, however and have the TV and receiver on at the same time, you will notice an ecco time delay. Therfore, you must turn the TV sound to mute or off.
