47ls4500 optical audio problem

[kennethgutowski]

I finally decided to connect my 47LS4500 to my stereo using an optical digital converter to conventional RCA jacks. I've tried everything on my TV and nothing works. I have verified that the cable and converter are good since I tried it on my sanyo TV to a different stereo. No problem. I even downloaded and ran the latest software update for the TV. Any help would be appreciated.

You may need to turn the optical out on, the TV speakers off, and change the audio output type in the TV menu to get it working. Check the TV manual.

Tried that and nothing. Unfortunately the manual does not help with much description other than turn off the speakers off. There isn't any sub menus that directly allow me to select Optical Digital Audio.
