Hi - I have an older (no HDMI) Harmon Kardon AVR 525. I am streaming content from a Plex Server to a Chromecast plugged into an HDMI on a 2008 Samsung Plasma.... and then outputting Audio from the Samsung via a an optical digital link to the HK receiver.....
My speakers are a 5.1 configuration...
I've got a chance to get a Harmon Kardon AVR7000 amp for really cheap.
One of the ways I use my setup is to watch movies from my PC using a digital opitical out.
some of the avi files i watch have 5.1 encoded into the sound track
willl this older amplifier be able to receive the optical stream...
