HDMI does digital audio and video so there is no need for the optical audio. If your stereo only does optical hook the 360 up to the TV and the TV up to the stereo.

No because the TV will out put that in stereo instead of surround sound.   If you have a receiver you want to go directly to that and not to the tv first

If his TV supports surround as My TV does then he should get surround. I would think any TV that's "new" enough to have an HDMI port would have surround.

SRS surround is not real Surround audio. It is a horrible simulated surround processing that is supposed to make 2-channel audio sound as though it were real surround.

If your TV happens to have a Sub out, it is only due to an additional crossover processing chip on the TV that outputs LFE to the SUB.
