My Samsung 3D Blu Ray Home Theater HT-HM55 has to be hooked up by DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) cable for me to get all 5 speakers to work on regular TV. It doesnt have a DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (Coax) so am I correct in thinking you are saying that all I need is a connector that goes from digital optical to digital coax to use with other boxes? I am going to change the HDMI cable out and see what happens. Theres no problem with the TV being able to handle the res. Here are the specs on it.
