Hello,
Let me preface by saying that I don't know much about surround sound...
I have a receiver connected to wired surround sound. The things I want connected to the receiver for surround sound (and the way they are currently set up) are:
-Cable box (HDMI to TV, optical audio to receiver)
-TV (it's a smart TV so Netfilx, etc - not currently connected to receiver but has plenty of audio options)
-Mac Mini (HDMI to TV, aux to receiver)
-Wii (the regular yellow, red, white set with yellow to TV and red/white to receiver)
Here is my question: can I connect all audio from these devices to the TV then run just one optical audio cable from the TV to the receiver? I hate having so many cords and having to switch between inputs on the receiver. I would prefer just one.
I realize it would probably be easier to connect the speakers to the TV but my boyfriend loves that receiver to an unreasonable degree. It's an older receiver and I don't think that it has HDMI ports.
I don't have the exact TV model with me but it's a 55" LG LED Smart TV purchased new last year.
Thank you!
Anna
