Darnell Cutliff: You do not need to use optical cable if you are using the HDMI. Keep in mind HDMI cable is capable of the 7.1 audio and the optical is only at 5.1. Also TV does not have any HDMI output to connect to the receiver, it only provide an optical output. You connect the HDMI output oc the receiver to the tv. You would connect you other device to the receiver using HDMI cable. It would be more expensive buying both cable, than just buying a HDMI. Hope this will help you out.
