optical set-up question

[isolae]

My Denon AVR-487 receiver has 2 optical inputs. I'm going to connect my DVD player to one. Now for the second input should I connect my Dish Network 942 HD DVR or my Samsung LNS4695D LCD 1080P TV?

I will be connecting both my DVD player and Dish Network DVR to the Samsung via HDMI

Thanks

Will you ever be using the Samsung as a source?

If not, then why bother connecting it's output to the receiver.

If so, then you do have a decision do make but, since it appears that your main source is the Dish STB, then I'd connect that.

Ya know, if the option presents itself, a digital coax connection works just as well.

Thanks MARKW

I wont be using the Samsung as a source so question answered.

I see what you mean about the digital coax... since I have 2 optical and 2 coax, I can connect 4 things to the receiver.

Again..thanks for your help!!

no to the TV hook up

you do not need to connect it the tv
It belongs on the Sat box if it have optic or the other
you want you sound coming from amp and main speakers
running that cable through tv will not give you the sound from the mains
