Hi Rick, There is a cable person installing cable now, but I will certainly look for that setting. You think it should matter, even if, in the current scenario, the digital optical cable runs from the tv to the sound bar, not from the apple tv to anything? I could certainly see how this could affect a set up where the digital optical out on the A tv was running to my a/v receiver. But why should it affect things when using the sound bar set up? In any case, I'm going to try it when the cable person leaves, but it seems weird.
