Many TVs, including Panasonics, don't even allow to choose PCM, outputting automatically Dolby for ATSC and PCM for NTSC. I bought Samsung LED TV because of that - it has choice in the menu for PCM or Dolby output.
How to convert TV optical output to XLR
I am looking at a new TV set that outputs digital audio via an optical cable and I need to input the optical cable into my Ayre AX-7e Integrated amplifier that takes XLR. It seems all new TV’s output using optical cable (and no longer use RCA plugs).
How do I convert the optical output to XLR? Does this extra step degrade the signal? Do you have any recommendations?
