Absolutly not! Your looking at an optical cable. Your tv has a 1/8 mini jack, not a mini optical jack.

The mini jack isn't digital. It is the equivalent of standard L/R (White Red) audio jacks.

What you need is a "stereo to stereo mini-jack" cable/adaptor...

Not necessarily that one.

No, but there is no reason too. Your tv isn't a surround sound system. Even if you could connect a digital audio connecion there would be no gain in proformance. What you need to do is run the digital audio to a 5.1 or better receiver with Optical or Coax.

Mostly no. It would still be only stereo. I don't think that your experience would be enhanced at all. The best thing to do is to by a surround system of some sort if you wish to have a more theater like experience.
