#2 Hi Can you please confirm that the optical output is Toslink rather than SPID?
The optical output on this TV is actually both. S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format) refers to the signal format that the data is sent through a cable and can be either copper or optical, whereas Toslink refers to the physical connection type of the cable, which in this case is an optical connection. In short, yes, the optical output on this TV is Toslink.
