The F80s have a HDMI output (Video & Audio).

According to this URL:
Both A8 and F8 series have the function of SPDIF,but the default is locked.If you plug in optical fiber cable,the fuction will be opened,and you will see the glow in the port of the cable.

As for my laptop Asus W5f. I use the SPDIF optical to the external decoder (DD & DTS) output to Amp & 5.1 speakers.
