    Optical vs Coax out?

    Im going to set my box up to feed HDMI straight to my tv. I can then either run Optical or Coax out to my Onkyo 605. Any input on whether one is better than the other with this box?

    I run optical to my AV receiver. I run coax to my subwoofer.

      Thanks, I usually use optical over coax, but just wanted to get hardware comments.

      I cant remember if my Directv dvr has coax, DOH. I might have to use coax for the Vudu.

        I have multiple optical inputs, so I use a 3 way toslink switch to resolve that problem.

          Good idea, never thought of that.

          Is optical superior to coax? Cant remember.

            Did a little reading, appears coax is recommended over optical. Solves my problem, I can use coax for Vudu and optical for Directv.

              I personally like optical, because it removes all electrical contact between the units it's connected.

              Sometimes an electrical contact between two components can cause a 60hz hum in the audio and 60hz bars in the picture, which can be VERY annoying.

                  I prefer coax to optical. They are both digital transmissions but the optical cable connectors are fragile at least the coax connectors are those tough RCA connectors. There is no hmmmmmm in digital.

                    I prefer HDMI to optical or coaxial. I dumped all my optical and coaxial connections in favor of HDMI. One cable for audio and video is so much easier.

                      Forgive my ignorance, but how do you use one cable to get the video to your TV and also to your sound system?

                          As John said, you'd use an HDMI-equipped AV receiver. All of your HDMI devices get connected to the receiver, the receiver decodes the audio and another HDMI cable take the video from the current device from the receiver to the TV.

                              I must be off my meds again.

                              I just looked one up and they do take HDMI inputs.

                              But still don't you have to use an HDMI output from the AV receiver to get video to your TV??

                              I either don't understand or by my count there are still two cables involved.

                              With my setup I use two cable also, with one HDMI going to the TV and one optical going to my Bose sound system.

                              I may have misunderstood Arronwt's meaning, but I still count at least two cables being used.
