Bluetooth Digital output to Lexicon MC-1 Pre-Pro

I just purchased a Sharp Aquos 75" Smart TV (Made by Hisense) and am trying to connect it to my Lexicon pre-pro.  It does have optical digital out, but it's having trouble recognizing the Lexicon. I wanted to know if the Bluetooth output is an option.  I know I would have to buy a receiver, but don't want to do that unless I know the bluetooth output is fully Dolby Digital capabable, or it it's a special format intended only for sound bars.

Sharp Technical support and the manual are useless.

Can anyone advise?  thanks in advance.

   As I understand it, Bluetooth degrades the sound - would this help?

Thanks, but my primary problem is getting audio for content that originates in the tv (smart tv). For other sources like dvd I can take digital directly from them. 

I’m still trying to debug my tv digital out, and may get it to work, but I thought Bluetooth would be a viable option. I finally got a response from sharp support and according to them the Bluetooth output supports digital 5.1. 

Thanks again.

followup . . . I found out that my optical will not work with the MC-1,  but there's an ARC(HDMI) connector which is an HDMI out, so I will get the digital extractor you suggested and try it that way . . .
