What is a coaxial sound output, or a optical sound out.

1. Look at the user manual, typical setups are described. If you don't have your manual anymore, the PDF will be on the Internet, you need the Brand and Model name of your TV.
2. HDMI *can* have an output, HDMI 1.4 supports "Audio return channel (ARC)" - where a digital audio channel sends the audio back from the TV (for soundbars etc.).
3. Yes, there are Coaxial to Optical converters, IF you need something like that.

Based on the specs from CNET, the Seiki SE322FS does not have an optical digital audio port. There is a coaxial digital audio port which looks like a standard RCA jack. The main difference is that it will be a single output jack, instead of the groups of RCA input jacks (component and composite audio/video ports). See https://www.cnet.com/products/seiki-se322fs/specs/ . See https://www.lifewire.com/coaxial-vs-optical-digital-cable-3134605 for some of the pros and cons for each type of digital audio cable.

Since the TV will be your audio source, you'll need a coaxial to optical digital audio converter. This is one example: https://www.cablestogo.com/product/40018/coaxial-to-toslink-optical-digital-audio-converter-taa-compliant . Note: usually the cables are not included with the converter. Thus, you'll need to get a coaxial digital audio cable separately. A different converter is needed to go from an optical digital audio output to a coaxial digital audio input.

I hope this helps.

Do you have a optical/coaxial input on your system? Eg: cable, TV.I use a optical input on my Yamaha ( cable, satellite ). Look to see if there is a optical/coaxial output on your pvr, there should be. Use ether the optical or coaxial output from your pvr and connect it to the cable (satellite ) optical/coaxial input on your receiver. The manual that came with your Shaw PVR should explain how. You will get 5.1 surround if available on certain channels.I prefer optical over coaxial myself, but they both work well.If you don't have optical/coaxial inputs on your receiver, you will have to use RCA cables, analogue out on cable box, to tape input or aux on your receiver. You will not get surround sound, just stereo. But it's better than nothing.

Well not buit in, but it has a 92 KHz/16bit Audio DAC/96KHz/24bit decoder and coaxial digital audio output. So to get surround sound you need to connect the DVD player to your home theater receiver using the Digital coaxial/optical output connector (i.e. fiber Optic). Your home theater has to be equipped with the same type of input and you could enjoy your DVDs in surround sound soon.


Note: the optical inputs and outputs are generally capped when not in use and you will need to remove the the cap to be able to plugin your cable.






Good luck and please don't forget your thumbs-up to help me help you further. ty !

Yes this can be done. You have several options for audio hookup. Stereo 2-channel (white and red) RCA cables, digital audio (optical or coaxial) or HDMI. Your home theater must have the inputs available such as optical, coaxial etc. Typically the stereo 2-channel RCA is the simple way. Just connect from the Bluray audio outputs to the Home theater inputs (white and red) for stereo sound. Select the input on the home theater. For Dolby Digital 5.1 use optical digital audio cable (black port) or coaxial (orange RCA port) from Bluray to similar home theater input.

You will need a Toslink to Rca connector. The toslink is also called optical connector.

Have you tried the another optical cable? They don't tolerate dirty connections or small-radius bends in their routing. THAT (and the expense of optical cables) is why I always choose coaxial connections when possible.

You can't EVER connect an output to an output and expect good results.

It has both optical and coaxial digital outputs but just a coaxial digital INput.

THe realtek Digital Output will only output sound if you have an optical cable attached. this allows you to connect your laptop a audio receiver via an optical cable. this is why you get no sound when it is set to digital output.

I don't think this has an Optical but a Coaxial connection. You might try a coaxial audio cable not optical.
