Samsung LE40M86BE optical out supporting Digital sound?

[stofferdk]

Hey there

I am considering buying this television - and I am quite sure this is the one.

I got one question. Unlike most of you, I got a cheap surround set from Logitech, the Z5500 with 1 Optical input, and I have several devices with optical output. At the moment, I use an optical switch box (external) everytime I change device, but I dont like having yet another box around............

SO - as the Samsung M8 got an optical out, and 3 HDMI inputs - I thought the tv could be my "switch" box, and I would only need 1 optical cable from the Tv to the Z5500. However, I hear that the TV dosent output Dolby Digital or DTS though the PS3 or whatever source outputs dolby or DTS.

Does anyone know about how this works? Do I have to keep my damn switchbox, or can I use the TV for digital sound through optical?

Thanks!
