Great for adding surround sound to your TV
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this unit to as and adapter to add a surround sound system to my TV. I prefer the four speaker sound opposed to the new sound bars. The new TVs have the audio plug as optical connection instead of the old RCA plugs so this was an easy solution. It is so nice to be able to have a Best Buy store in the area or I would have had to order online and wait several days to hook my system up.

Easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good brand, easy to use and install. Fit with pcm.
I would recommend this to a friend Is good but I wish it didn't require Power
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Useful if you need to convert RCA into Digital Optical or the other way around. Say you have an older TV with RCA audio out but you buy a New soundbar that uses Digital Optical this is a great solution to make it work. It is a bit pricey for a part and beware it DOES REQUIRE POWER. This is a quick fix and a much cheaper alternative than buying a new television.

Allows 2 headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Gives me the capability to run 2 sets of headphones with my TV. I do occasionally have to unplug and restart the unit because my headphones don’t work, though I am not sure that has anything to do with this adapter. Definitely recommend.

Works well; -1 for startup noise
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to funnel digital audio signals to my vintage Technics tuner. I had tried a newer, all digital Denon, but still prefer the warm analog sound. This converter does the job very well. Its only drawback is the harsh noise it makes when activated. I compensate by turning down the amp volume before hitting the "Aux" button. Once past the startup, it works so well you won't know it's there.

it works
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have an anolog hook up but want your 5.1 speakers to work with newer tv. This will works..Only thing you HAVE to do is set the dolby in the tv sound to PCM I believe and it will work. If you don't then you will get nothing and be very frustrated. Just wish they pointed this out in the instruction.Just turn anything that says DOLBY off.

Bose system adaptor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an older Bose system and this little box allows me to connect it to my new Samsung. With my old TV, the Bose system automatically took over the sound system, but with this system I was getting some feedback until I realized that both the Bose and the TV sound system were playing. I took a bit but I figured out how to mute the TV. Now I have great sound, much better than just the TV.
