The TV model is LG smart TV LS5700. The picture quality is awesome, only problem is audio is not very good. So i was planning to buy a 5.1 setup. But later I found out that 5.1 is possible in two ways, one is through Optical out and the Other through HDMI out(ARC) in TV. My only doubts are


  • If I connect Home Theatre setup via Optical out from TV and play a Movie through USB will I be able to get 5.1 sound through Home theatre coz I heard few TV's don't output 5.1 via Optical out


  • If i connect Home Theatre setup via HDMI out(ARC) and play a Movie through USB will I be able to get 5.1 sound through Home theatre ?

Here are the specifications of the TV in the link below
