does this t.v. have a optical port in the back of the t.v. for hooking up surround sound?

Not sure what an optical port is but it has 2 ports to connect equipment for cable and streaming etc. For surround sound you may want to have more or plan on an adaptor to add ports.

As far as I know, no such port exists on the TV itself. I would suggest that you run your digital Dolby 5.1 or other composite audio output to an external HI-FI, to which you have attached a sub-woofer.

I think so yes. I use the optical port for my tivo and the coax optical for my DVD player. On this one though ONLY the video is HDMI as a pass thru. I also have a roku and for sound I went from the tv optical out to BD. Sounds fine to me. I think it is just giving you 2 channel surround though.

Yes, The receiver has digital/optical inputs on it. I have my PS3 hooked up to it by two inputs, First the video is running out of the PS3 through the HDMI cable. Second I have the audio out of the PS3 through the digital/optical output. The sound is amazing!!!

Just to add on to what David Oman said, the T.V. has the L/R audio output (red/white cables) and the Coaxial output, but it DOES NOT have the specific digital audio out port. So if you're looking to hook up a sound bar or extra speakers it can certainly do that BUT make sure that your sound bar/speakers are hooked up via coaxial or L/R audio cables.

This device does not have an Optical port. It only has HDMI which transmits both the video and audio signal to your AV Receive.

It has optical/toslink out. I'm pretty sure it down-mixes the output to stereo, though.

Yes i have my led tv connected to the optical in source. There is also a sub woofer out port for a powered sub woofer which i also use. And there is a audio in port that accepts a 3.5 mm stereo jack for a tv or mp3 etc.

Yes, there is an optical input so you can directly connect the Directv box with the receiver to get audio. If your TV supports the Audio Return Channel (ARC), the HDMI cable connecting this surround sound system and the TV could also be used to hear the DirecTV audio. Also, if you have a Samsung smart TV, you can use the Anyconnect to hear your DirecTV audio. Hope this helps.

There is a digital optical audio port, and what looks like a 3.5mm mini stereo plug marked "service only". The manual doesn't say anything about the service only port.

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

I don't see any digital optical connection in the back. The unit is a (very) decent receiver for an MP3 player (I use my iPhone) and a CD/other connection. If you are interested in running the audio through the Sonata, you can use the RCA audio out from TV to the receiver, then onto the speakers. You may want to go to the Cambridge website, download the manual and look at the diagram for the rear of the unit.

yes it does. I was able to connect my TV with Bose system using the optical audio output.

Yes, Optical audio from TV (out) to Sound Bar (in) is available. You might get more info if you can obtain the Owner's Manual (or equivalent) on-line at the Panasonic, http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/SCHTB70.PDF. This link isn't the correct manual, but it does show the optical terminal connections.
