Why even have a receiver and a soundbar when you can just have a soundbar that does both jobs? (although not this soundbar).
Also, when you TOSLINK from tv to soundbar, you can only get dolby digital/dts at best and not any of the lossless audio formats. You are depriving yourself of the best audio available on a blueray/hd-dvd and there is a noticable difference between lossless and lossy audio even if you are using a soundbar in a 3.1 (LCR) format - that is, no simulated surround, which doesn't work well in large rooms anyway without a back wall.
