and I have some questions. This is what I'm currently eyeing: http://www.lg.com/ca_en/tvs/lg-43LF5100-led-tv
I have a Samsung blu-ray player and an old Pioneer receiver that does not have HDMI.
The blu-ray player has a coaxial out and so does my amp. My questions are:
1) If I hook up my amp to my blu ray player via coax, will I get 5.1 audio? The TV may or may not have a digital audio out. Does this matter?
2) If the TV doesn't have a digital audio out, how can I get a movie to play in 5.1 through my receiver? Some websites say the TV has one other sites says it doesn't have it.
Alot of negative reviews about this TV are from the fact it doesn't have any digital audio out connections. I'm not looking to watch TV (broadcasts) in 5.1 or through my amp. Regardless of which set I buy, do I really require the TV to have a digital audio out for my blurays to get dolby digital?
The real reason I'm eyeing this particular LG set is I have a bunch of points saved up on my store card to get it for about $175 bucks! Unfortunately this is the ONLY set they have for you to "cash in" your points. I realize it's probably 2-3 years old (discontinued) model. That doesn't bother me as long as I can watch movies in 5.1 audio. I would love some advice or help! Also, what is ARC and should that matter? I know it stands for Audio Return Channel but is it important for what I want?
