Differences between stereo audio cable and optical cable....?

Question

For example, I have a ps3. What difference will it make if i connected my PS3 to my surround sound system via stereo rather than via optical cable? thanks

Answer 1

audio is for sound stereo for picture cable is channels and optical cable is so you can see whats behind closed doors like your a secret agent.

Answer 2

Stereo is well stereo, two channel. Plus transmission is analog.

Optical allows for digital transmission and supports up to 5.1 channels (through Dolby Digital or DTS).

So, if you have a surround system, I would recommend using optical.
