Does a digital optical cable convey TV audio only or also other devices connected to the TV with HDMI?

J.C.

The TV I'm interested in buying doesn't have RCA-type stereo outputs. I've heard that the digital optical cable will only send the television signal to the receiver, not sending the signal from my Blu-Ray player, for example. Is that true?

Answer
Any audio sent to the TV via HDMI will be sent thru the optical out of the TV

Can I use a Blu Ray player on a standard definition TV?

Chris

I am looking into a Samsung BD-5300 Blu-ray Disc Player to use with an RCA TruFlat TV (basically looking for the cheapest way to get Hulu Plus in my living room), but I'd hate to buy it and have it not working.

Also, the TV doesn't have HDMI input, but I already have an HDMI to Component cable. Will this setup work?

Answer
You can use it, but you won't get any advantage from Blu-ray disks since it will play at "standard" resolution (not high definition).

HDMI to component cables are a scam. Most Blu-ray players have component outputs so just use that with a standard component cable.

Tom

I've seen tutorials on how to make the other Toshiba Blu-Ray players to multi-region but I'm not sure whether them hacks work for this model too. Can anyone help, please?

Answer
This may be the same one you found. Did you try it?

1. Open the tray
2. press the following sequence using the number keys: 98790 (this is equivalent to the code 9879 with the zero at the end representing all regions)
3. Press Close Tray - there should be a sign on the TV screen saying something like 'Region set to 0'
4. Turn off the DVD player for 5 seconds
5. Turn on the DVD player.
