I currently have my DVD player, Cable Box, and PS3 connected to my Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K receiver. From there the receiver connects to my TV via one HDMI. A rather normal setup. 5.1 speaker system. I am buying a Samsung PN58B860 Plasma TV which has DNLA capabilities which will allow me to stream music, movies, and pictures off my home PC/Network to my TV. ( I can currently do this via the PS3 but it would be nice to do it straight from the TV) My question is how to I get the sound from that content to play on my AV receiver to utilize my 5.1 system? (since its not going through the receiver like my other components) Do I just output audio via either the optical digital out or coaxial audio out of the TV to my receiver?...and setup my receiver to play that audio when I want to view and listen to what is coming to the TV via my home network? Will there be any lag between the streaming video coming into the TV and the audio going to my receiver from the TV? Im thinking this is the solution but I have never done it. Any suggestions, opinions, help, etc would be appreciated!
One more question - What is the better audio cable to get for a 60ft run. The optical or the coaxial?
