I'd like to connect my sources directly to the TV, then use the TV's digital optical output to run to the Receiver for the Atmos sound. My setup has a TV with a Cat 6 cable and a coaxial cable near the tv that runs through the wall to the receiver. I will connect my sources directly to the TV, then pass the audio from the TV via the optical output to either the ethernet or cat 6 then to the receiver. I'm assuming that I will need a converter at both ends. Thoughts?
PS. I don't want to connect the sources to the receiver, then pass the video to the TV, since I don't want to run a new cable and I have read that I can't passthrough HDR via CAT 6 or ethernet, but I did read that I can pass through Atmos audio.
