what does an optical cable do for my stereo

I didn't need it until I ditched cable for antenna stations. The cable allowed me to listen to the tv over my surround sound

This cable should work with any device that supports Digital Optical Audio and has the appropriate optical input/output port. Consult your manual to verify it has the correct port. I just Googled your device and the instruction manual shows an optical digital-audio port. This cable should work just fine.

I get the sound to my stereo receiver from my cable box through a fiber optic cable with great results

The optical out MUST be connected to a DAC as it is a digital output. This allows you to use a higher quality DAC to convert the signal to analog, so yes, there is the potential that using the optical digital output can produce higher quality sound, but only if the signal is passed to a DAC that is higher quality than the one built into the unit. The analog outputs of the device are very warm and bass heavy.

I do not think there's any difference as long as you are buying an optical digital cable

the optical cable is used just to get sound from the tv providing you are using all hdmi connections otherwise

Yes, as my own Review of this product will tell you, this system does have an input for Optical cable. I am using that fine! However, you will have to buy the Optical cable separately--should not more than $15 at the most.

don't use the optical cable.it has to change power into optics and back to power. direct from zvox tech.

This cable connects from your SubWoofer, to ther back of your Home Theater Receiver. I don't think it makes any difference, which end you plug where first.

The optical cable goes from the digital audio output of the TV to the optical in port of the unit and then your external speakers to audio output ports. Good luck.

If the cable ends look like the usual vcr or stereo cables, then, yes, it will input stereo outputs. It may not be the high fidelity sound from audiophile systems but....

i honestly dont know man heres the deal, i have an optical cable but i lost the little adapter it came with and i need it to test that out. i use the 3.5mm jacks on it. i would honestly say it does only because it has done everything it says it should and more. this is an amazing little device. now it is tiny. its about the size of a pack of cigs. i compared lol. but it should have no problem. I would rather just be up front with you about that.

You can route the audio through your TV "if" your TV has an optical output. You would want to check and make sure.

This is a DIGITAL Optical CO-AXIAL cable with only a single plug on either end. The RCA cable is a 2-headed plug on each end for the white and red connectors for stereo sound input/output on the back of your equipment. You must check the back of your equipment carefully to determine which type you need. Check your owner's manuals. My connection with this cable was between a Blu-Ray player directly to my HDTV. Hope this helps.

Remember that the optical cable is for hearing what you are looking in your tv using a home theater or a soundbar the hdmi is for audio and video from the device that you are using like cable box, game console or dvd\blueray player.

It's an optical digital audio cable, if there's more than one type, I'm not aware of the differences.

Optical was the option I chose. It also allowed RCA and another funny square connector that I don't remember well.
