How do you use optical cable from tv to Blu-ray?

Your TV will not have a optical cable input. The easiest way is to connect an HDMI cable from the Blu-Ray player to the TV. This cable will have both the video and audio together. If you do not have an HDMI input on your TV, use the component video output from the Blu-Ray player and the analog left and right audio to connect to the TV, or connect the optical digital output from the Blu-Ray player to a surround sound receiver for sound amplification.


What is better HDMI audio or digital optical audio?

HDMI and optical are both physical carriers for data. Whatever signal is put onto the cable or fiber will come out the other end and will be identical quality. The quality of the signal is entirely dependent on the signal source and not the interface cable. The better interface is the one that fits better into the system in question. For an audio only set up, optical fiber will probably be the right choice. For video based systems with soundtracks for video content, HDMI will be the more convenient solution. The important point to note is that neither method will degrade the audio quality nor will either of them enhance quality. The cable or fiber is effectively completely transparent and has no effect on the resulting sound. Please note: HD audio formats like Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio cannot be transferred by optical cable.
