Optical TV Output into Home Cinema System

[rossmc88]

I have a TV with an optical sound output port. If I connect that to an optical input on a home cinema system, will anything that is being played through the TV, i.e. Sky, PS3, produce surround sound on the home cinema system?

Any advice would be great!

Yeah the sky box and ps3 would be connected to the TV via HDMI, then the TV's optical out connected to the home cinema system. I would be happy with 5.1 surround sound.

Thanks for the advice, I hooked up my TV via optical and it's all working how I wanted to, thanks again
