I have a GT-3.0 attached to a Samsung UN32EH5300FKZA Television. I have been unable to get the optical digital audio signal from the TV to play through the GT-3.0. The TV has been selected to the "external speaker" option. I also have a Sony BDP S3100 Blu-Ray player hooked up to the TV through an HDMI cable because the GT-3.0 is not Blu-Ray capable.
I hooked up an optical cable from the "digital audio out (optical)" port on the TV to the small, black coax/optical "block" on the rear of the GT-3.0. As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the GT-3.0 manual that tells how to select the coax/optical input on the GT-3.0. The Audio Setup portion of the users manual is not useful. There is "light" coming out of the GT-3.0 end of the optical cable so it appears that TV is outputting an audio signal
I HAVE been able to get audio from the TV through the GT-3.0 by using a " Y converter cable" which takes a mini coax plug (TV) and splits it into RCA plugs (GT-3.0) and attached to the AU2 inputs on the GT-3.0. I have not bothered trying a digital coax cable since it must plug into the same little black box on the GT-3.0 and if I can't select the one, I probably can't select the other.
The current connection is borderline acceptable, but I would like to get the digital 5.1 surround sound when playing media that incorporates that audio format.
Any guidance on how to enable optical digital audio would be greatly appreciated.
