i wish to get tv sound Thu my Sony surround system. The tv has a digital/OPT audio output, and the Sony has only phono sockets.
No you can't do that because the output from the TV is OPTICAL - ie. the toslink cable carries LIGHT. The phono sockets on your surround system only accept a low level electrical signal.
If the TV has any other audio outputs (phono sockets) just use those. You won't lose anything because even if you did manage to connect the two, the audio signal would still only be 2 channel stereo at the surround input.
If your surround system has an optical input and you connected this to the optical input of your TV then the built in decoder in your surround system would deliver 5.1 channel audio, but only if your source (DVD player etc) was outputting 5.1 audio. Otherwise your TV will only send 2 channel stereo audio through its toslink connection.
The optical isn't the only output, is it? If so you may need to find adapters. In the future, remember to check for inputs and outputs before you buy.
