Toshiba Toslink Out . . . .

I have a single toslink out and have been wondering if I should use it as audio out for both my DVD and music server. I don't know if the sound quality would be the same or degraded as currently I go direct to the receiver with both the DVD and server.

Any ideas or experience as using the TV's PCM out for a single source?

I don't understand your question. Is "Toshiba" your TV? Which units are you connecting to what?

Don't know if this will help, but I have my DVD player connected to my TV with HDMI. This is for video only. The DVD player is connected digitally to my Denon receiver (I can use toslink, coax, or DenonLink, all of which sound about the same). I use another digital connection from my music server to my receiver. Finally, I use another digital connection from my TV cable box to my receiver, for listening to the audio of TV programs.

Why run a digital audio source into your TV and then out again to the receiver (if this is what you're trying to do)? You CAN do it that way, and there shouldn't be any sound degradation, since the signal remains digital and never goes into analog until it's converted in the AV receiver.
- It would mean only one connection to the reciever . . . - mr grits 19:12:52 09/29/10 (0)
  The HDMI carries audio and video but I have been running separate IC's directly to the amp as you have. I will have to get unlazy and try it. The Toshiba flat one has one toslink out but four HDMI's in.
