Dolby digital audio, single coaxil out

Our fancy LCD TV has 999 different types of audio and video inputs.

but only 1 single coaxil ouput for a 5.1 system

is that standard?

They send all the data through just one cable?

I expected to see RCA auido outs so I could just add on some speakers as we have a built in DVD player.

but all the speakers system that don't cost $3-500 come with a DVD player which is fine, long as I get more sound.

this is what I was looking at, am I barking up the wrong tree with it?
[boy I wish I could of just plugged some extra speakers directly to it via RCA]

For digital, yes. Multiple RCA jacks are for analog, where they need to keep the signal's separated.

FWIW, Digital (optical) is also one single plug.

ran into that road block where it only works when your watching a DVD, only ime you get that sound, I want exrta sound for reg TV.

Even my DVD/VCR combo say the digital out is for them only.

side plan is to crack open the TV and wire in RCA jack off the speakers lines, so i can add on speakers for what comes out the TV speaker channel and screw the rest.

Cause reallyit was only just to make reg TV louder, not trying to build a movie theater system.

Line level signals and speaker level signals are different impedance (as well as levels, etc.) - Not sure if that is going to be a feasible workaround for the long run.

since this is a similar topic to a question I have I will use this instead of creating a new one..

Our TV also has a Coax for digital output, but our BluRay home entertainment center has optical input. I was told that you can use the a fiber optic cable for both connections. I had no problems plugging the cable into the optic input on the bluray, but I just can't figure out how to with the Coax...

So was I misinformed? Or am I just doing something wrong?

We'd like to be able to use the sound system while watching TV, but the system doesn't have any settings for analog output by itself like it does with optical.

You were misinformed. The Coax uses a cable with a male RCA plug. I had the same issue and I purchased this converter to go from coax to optical and it worked well for me.

Since this has nothing to do with Android, phones or any of the other topics that this forum was created for, the OP would be better served by going to one of the numerous A/V / home theater forums. They talk about this kind of stuff all day.

350X, yes it is possible to use a single S/PDIF cable to carry multiple audio channels.

pbf98, there is a special "mini" plug for Toslink that allows an optical cable to be plugged into what looks like a standard 3.5mm earphone socket. I have an old Mini Disc player with this feature. Although I haven't seen any myself, I suppose that a similar dual format RCA jack could be made to accept an optical connection or an electrical connection. Check with your TV manufacturer for the correct part to use, providing what you heard is true, of course.
