I have optical and hdmi . I go from the cable box to the receiver . With both. Thought for sure using the optical would work. Should I route the cables in a different way

Oops... I forgot to add HDMI on the list. The other poster is correct. HDMI is the preferred connection because it can handle lossless surround sound. Your setup will be the following:

Xfinity 1 cable box ----- HDMI -----> Yamaha RX-V379 ----- HDMI -----> TV
