This made connecting optical to my non optical TV easy

The market is flooded with these little boxes that convert digital audio to analog audio. The trick is that they don't work with the newer Dolby digital audio format (a compressed format). They only work with the earlier PCM digital format (an uncompressed format). If you cannot switch your device to output PCM digital audio, then then little box will be useless, Dolby digital audio unpacks into five separate audio streams plus a low frequency stream to simulate explosions and things like that. So if you want that "surround sound" experience, then you need a device that will decode the Dolby 5.1 format. This little box just provides stereo sound.

My Samsung only had mediocre sound but without a headphone jack i wasn't able to plug it into my old school amp. This was the solution. In less than 10 minutes I was able to convert the optical audio to video and now the sound is fantastic!

I was looking for this product for almost two years. I am so happy that finally it arrives at store. It is very helpful is connecting my apple tv or PS4 with my bose speakers. Bose speaker (the one I have) only supports the analog. Only negative is - its price. It is very expensive for what it does, but I guess there's no other good product doing it, so I guess I have no choice.

I bought this converter to connect a new lg 4k tv to my 1990s sound system. This is the only one that works the best after trying 3 drefent cheaper ones. None of the other provided enough drive to push the old amp but the insignia does very well. Very happy with this one i highly recommend it Ps. If you get a buzzing sound you have to switch your tv's digital audio output settings to PCM And it will work petfect

New Samsung TV sounds good but to get even better sound I wanted to hook it up to a Sony all-in-one stereo which only has RCA analog input. TV has only optical audio output. Tried Bluetooth but there was an unacceptable lag in the sound. This device worked immediately. Sound is great and there is absolutely no delay. Set source audio out from digital to PCM. Would have preferred it if device had an on/off switch.

Does what it was meant to… Places out on the cable and to the old tuner and it worked

I had bought an Insignia sound bar, the sound quality on it was excellent. My only hang up was the tv that I have did not have the same output as the inputs on the sound bar. I tried hooking git up several different ways and nothing seemed to sound good. I finally purchased this converter and hooked it up and the sound is great.

First I purchased an adapter to connect Bluetooth to my old receiver, then I found this adapter to be able to play the audio from our HD TV too. (Had gone to another electronics retailer before BB who said this type of adapter didn't exist.) Works great, am now able to listen to anything that comes though the TV.

Worked great with my Samsung tv. Be sure you have the option to set the audio output to PCM only on your TV. I wanted to be able to use my vintage sound equipment and this did the trick.

Works well for my audio/speakers easy to install. No optical cable with item

Converts both optical and coaxial digital signals to analog perfectly.

This was recommended by salesperson when I needed to buy a new bluray player. Old player used the red/white cables and I didn't want to have to rework the system setup. This allowed me to do that.

My Home Theater's optical input stopped working. This device allowed me to get the audio from my TV, which has only fiber optic digital audio output, to the adapter, then RC audio cables from the adapter to the Home Theater. Voila!

Hard to notice the difference. Excellent product Geek squad knew what they were doing.

Purchased and installed via Geek Sq. Works as expected.

Solved our problem of transmitting music to other rooms

I purchased this for my Father after he was no longer able to plug his analog wireless earphones into the new Direct TV Genie Lite receiver. The options were purchase $300 Sennheiser rs 175 earphones that have a digital input or $150 gaming earphones that have a mic in the way or this $30 converter. Luckily the Genie Lite was able to produce PCM digital out signals. Some other devices may only have Dolby Digital Out available. For that you can search for converters that can convert Dolby Digital to analog.

My Xbox One doesn't have analog audio, so I purchased this converter so I could connect to my PC speakers. The sound is great!

very simple and it works perfect. Amazing piece of invention.
