Insignia™ - Optical/Coaxial Digital-to-Analog Audio Converter - Black - Open Box - Fair

Simple to install as I already had a digital fiber optic cable to connect my new LG TV to the converter. Converter comes with RCA cables but not the fiber optic cable. Fiber optic cable did not come with the TV. I had it from a DVD purchase many years ago but never used it. When buying this item make sure you have or buy the fiber optic cable. Worked perfect without any issues in my setup. Stereo sound added to TV fills the room like being at a concert.

the converter works great and was easy to connect the digital optical output on the tv to my home stereo.

I got this so I could take the digital audio from my TV and feed it into my old analog stereo receiver which only had RCA analog inputs. It was an inexpensive way to improve the tv sound without having to get a soundbar or update to an AVR. All inclusive kit makes it easy.

i bought this as a deal of the day $20 plus got more off with my BB rewards ... so price was a pretty good deal that BB made me buy this , ha ... i originally had another brand ,, and it worked and didn't work ... but then i didn't read up on why ,, i just hooked it up .... and then left it .. so you see in my photo now both audio converters that i have .. and this time as of now ,, i spent the time and effort to play and test and see how this is and researched how these things work .. and now i found that both converters that i have ,,, each work just fine and as designed ... which really just connects the audio with different connectors all together as a pass-thru ... now if you continue to read my review here ,, i will now give you tips ,, first ,, new tv and new bluray players and 4k players ,,, etc. can give you great sound with digital w/surround ... and of course your old audio receiver can't play that ... so you need to reset your tv or player to put out PCM audio ,,,, which is just 2 channel audio and not the multi-channel audio ... and these converters will work great ...when you switch to PCM ,, it just takes all the multi 5.1 7.1 etc .. and pass all channels combined into just 2 channels left and right for your old receiver .. i can go into more on audio quality and types ,, but you now need to research that yourself ...so my next tip is to help all you who may think it does not work with your system .. so this is what i easily see or hear when i first just hooked it up .... and what i describe will be very basic simple ,,, if you are getting static and noise out of your stereo system with the converter ,, it will likely be your tv output or player is putting out a digital audio signal ,, thus the noise static and not audio ... if you then reset your tv-player to output PCM audio ,,, i bet it will then work ... and if you donna hear anything ,, that means there is no audio signal being passed by the converter ..

Definitely works and recommended. Best bang for your buck with this device. Exceptional for needing your sound played out of older tvs and speakers where other connect isnt possible.
