Some TVs will send DolbyDigital 5:1 via toslink to your receiver and some won't or only will for OTA reception and than maybe only in 2:1. I have an LG TV that will send 5:1 Dolby via toslink to my receiver but the audio sync is so far off that I gave up on it and bought a switch, and than my old receiver died so I bought a new inexpensive receiver that does HDMI audio.

Okay than I got carried away and bought a TV that does ARC so any programming coming from the TV is carried back to the receiver via the same HDMI cable that sends the signal from the receiver to the TV.

Yeah that switch should work but how much longer do you want to keep investing in tech to make your receiver work?

Okay maybe I'm not understanding your question properly since you are talking about DTS.
