hi

for optimum sound you should use the digital optical cable as you said. However if you want to connect several peripheral (such as psp3, skybox, dreambox etc) to your surround system you should buy a switch and not a splitter. a switch is multiple input and single output...thus you connect all the peripheral you have to the input side of the switch and the single out to the surround system. Then through the switch one can choose which peripheral to be connect to the surround system. A splitter won't work, since it is based on one input to several outputs.

hope this gives you a clearer idea.....
