    I know this is an older thread, but I have been holding onto my pioneer elite pro-920hd plasma until it dies bc its still the best picture i've ever owned. That said, I have recently purchased the sonos playbar and can't get sound when i run the digital optical cable from the playbar into the tv's optical audio output. I'm told that the tv is incompatible with the playbar, and it was suggested i get one of these two switches:

    https://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=5557

    I am just curious if anyone knows which is better and/or if there is a superior option?

    Also, how would i hook this up?

    One option that was also suggested is that I run the optical cable right into my cable settop box. That's fine, but then how would I get sound on my apple tv?

    Thanks for any help/feedback.
