Optical zoom is way better than digital zoom as digital only expands the picture. Optical zoom actually zooms in.
The optical input on a TV is used for transmission of digital audio, in SPDIF format between devices, only.
More common terms for digital optical audio cable; optical audio cable, cable, digital optical, but the shortest and most well-known term is "cable".

A coaxial digital output (usually an RCA jack) can connect to a digital optical input using a coaxial to optical digital converter. This is a small box that goes in between the two products.
You can get an optical to coxial converter box if your receiver has a coaxial digital input. If it doesn't, you will have to purchase an optical digital to analog (D to A) converter.
Optical Zoom is the true zoom, Digital is basically the zoom in of what the highest optical zoom is. Therefore Optical Zoom is the better zoom, and gives a much clearer picture.
It is not an optical device. C D ROM or DVD are optical devices. Whereas a digital memory card is solid state device.
An absolute optical encoder is a type of rotary encoder. The optical disk is designed to produce a digital word which distinguishes N distinct positions of the shaft. Common types of numerical encoding used in the absolute encoder include gray and binary codes. http://www.motioncontrolguide.com/learn/guides/encoders-guide/
The LG LHB335 only has an optical digital inputs. If your cable box has an optical digital output, connect it to the Digital in #1 (TV) with an optical cable. If your cable box only has a coaxial (RCA) digital output and you want to use the digital audio connection, you will need to purchase a coaxial to optical digital converter. The Monoprice 2947 is less than $20.00.
The Cannon Powershot has both and optical and digital zoom features. Optical zoom is far superior to digital zoom.
