My new epson home cinema 3500 has only one 3.5 stereo jack audio output but my samsung receiver only has a digital audio input(I used to use a toslink cable to connect to my tv) What should I do?
 
Hello,

What receiver model #?

HDMI will carry both video and audio on 1 cable to one of your receivers HDMI input. HDMI is also the only way to get uncompressed surround sound, meaning Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio.

The speakers connected to your receiver will output the audio correctly.
 
I assume you don't have HDMI on the receiver.
To get digital surround sound you should use an HDMI switcher with audio extractor like this one

If you have to you can use one of these

to convert the projector audio out to digital audio out but you will not get digital surround sound or the quality of sound that the first method gives you.
