Ah, as soon as the moon comes out, the Carpet shows up and starts handing out advice. We should call you The Prof, because of your knowledge of all the technical stuff.

Resi is correct.

The optical output/cable carries the signal for digital sound output for Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS Surround Sound, and can only be connected to hardware (amplifier/hi-fi etc.) which supports these.

It does not carry video signals, and has nothing to do with picture quality.
