The optical cable would be the best choice.
You can look at the in and out connectors on the TV and the amplifier. You have choices that depend on the tv and amplifier, basic stereo, surround sound and tos-link. As you know in and out are connected and out and in are connected. Do not connect in and in to each other and do not connect out and out to each other.
You will need:A stereo amplifierSpeakersAn optical audio cable1) Connect the HDMI cable from whatever you are trying to hook up (Virgin Box, Blu-ray player, PS3, Xbox 360) into the back of your television.2) Connect the optical audio cable from the back of your television to the slot on your stereo amplifier.3) Your amplifier should be connected to the speakers. If it isn't, do so (it should be covered in the manual)4) You may need to configure Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound for it to work.5) Ensure the amplifier is turned on.Alternatively, you could connect your optical audio cable directly from what you are trying to rig up to the stereo. Either way should work.I hope that helped.
If you're connecting out of the device to the TV's optical in, then from the TV's optical out to the receiver, you're wasting an optical cable. Just connect directly to the receiver. There shouldn't be any sound quality difference either way since it's a digital connection, but it's much cleaner with only one cable.
I don't know of any TVs that have an OPTICAL OUT on the back. The connector for this kind of connection has a locking type socket, and will only go in 1 way.
I believe optical audio cable is the best choice for your tv system as long as you will be able to connect it properly to yout tv system and you got all you need.

Yes, the RadioShack Digital Optical Cable Connector is very easy to install. It's just as simple as unplugging and plugging in a standard TV cable.

It is the connector for the OPTICAL cable to plug into.
If you want an audio output from the TV to connect to a home theater receiver or other amplifier, you will have to use the optical digital audio output or Audio Return Channel through the HDMI connectors. Those are the only outputs on this TV.
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.
If your home theater receiver has an optical audio input, plug it from the output of the TV to the input of the receiver.

There are essentially two ways to get surround sound out of the Xbox. Via HDMI or via optical (TOSLINK) out. If you have the component video cable, then the end that attaches to the Xbox has an optical out port. Simply attach this to the optical in on your home theatre receiver with an optical cable. If you want to use audio via HDMI, in order to get surround sound you'll have to have an HDMI receiver capable of receiving audio. In this case run the Xbox via HDMI to the receiver and then the receiver via HDMI to the TV. The HDMI will send both audio and video. If you have the official Xbox HDMI cable you can also connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV and use the optical out connector that it comes with instead.
No.... It must be output to input...
