I am in process of connecting my Samsung TV to a Bose sound system and can not 
make the optical audio connection function.   The system functions perfectly 
using the analog audio cables alternative.  
When plugged into the TV, light comes out of the end of the optical cable so 
that appears to be OK though what is encoded is of course not apparent.  The 
connectors fit snugly and positively at both ends.   I can find nothing written 
in the Samsung TV book or in the on screen menu items that are anywhere 
relevant.   
Interestingly, when BOTH the optical and audio cable are plugged in the Bose is 
silent - when the optical cable is then removed the sound plays.  Clearly the 
opticall cable/  signal is recognised.
From my internet readings I see many problems with optical cables reported.  
Am I missing something?  (yes, I took the end caps off the cable!).
