My DVD has both Toslink (optical) and 6 RCA jacks for 5.1 output. My question is: Does the 5.1 signal go out of the optical output as well as the 6 RCA connectors? If so, are the RCA connections analog vs the digital output of the Toslink? The reason I ask is because it seems that if you don't have a 5.1 receiver, you use only the front left/right RCA connections as your inputs to your "stereo" receiver/TV etc. That seems to indicate that the RCA connections are analog and (even I know this much), the optical connection is strictly digital.
I have optical as well as 5.1 RCA connections on my receiver and I am currently using the RCA inputs rather than the Toslink. Will I get better sound quality by swtching to the Toslink?
Thanks in advance for your input on this.
