EXCELLENT PRODUCT. Easy to setup Works great when connected

Thanks to best buy for the fast turnaround time, Jeff got my order in super fast! Very pleased with the online order process!

Plug and play. Does the job with no lag. Satisfied.

Thought I was going to have to replace my receiver but this allows me to get my sound from my modern tv to my ole school stereo LOL!

I bought two of these, one for my tv and one for my pc. The sound quality is definitely better than the line in/out I was using. It took some fiddling with my pc to deal with some "popping" that was happening but it's been fine for a week now. Overall this is a great solution for configuring certain speaker sets with a digital line out, especially for the price.

It works well with an LG 65UK6090PUA tv. Once one figures out how to set the TV to PCM.

this item was a quick fix to connect our tv to our surround sounf

Using computer optical out into studio monitors (RCA), no hum, great sound.

This does what it's supposed to, but my experience is that if it has no input signal for some period of time, it "times out" and must be restarted by removing the power cord, and plugging it back in. Minor nuisance, but I certainly can't hide it out of the way, like I intended.

PCM is one of several digital audio formats that your TV may use, and you may or may not be able to select that as an output from your TV. If your TV is delivering PCM audio streams, this devices will work fine, although the analog output is a bit low, so you will have to crank up the volume on your amp. If your TV is using another digital format, you are likely to hear some kind of motorboating sound. In my case, the audio was fine when listening to regular cable TV channels, but I got the motorboating when listening to Netflix or a DVD. Don't worry, you can get decoders at Amazon that handle the other formats - and they cost only slightly more. Look for 'decoder' not just 'converter,' and check on the digital formats that it works with. I wish the Best Buy rep knew this when they sold me the TV and this converter.

I haven't used this yet but I nicely built and arrived in good condition. I discovered I didn't need it but kept it anyway because I know I'll need it in the future.

The product is fine, but It will not work for my application. I am out of the return period because it was for a boat and I just got a chance to get there I need to return this item please Thank you

Great option to use my old Sony unit with my new T.V.

All the new gadgets(tv's, gaming systems, etc) use hdmi & digital audio & I still have an older stereo receiver that works great but doesn't have hdmi or digital optical audio inputs so this worked out great! Allowed me to continue hearing stereo surround without having to spend another $300+ on a new stereo.

Works as it should. Small, hooks television up to sonos

Was expertly installed by the men who delivered out tv. Works great.

I bought old school Bluetooth tv headphones and discovered I needed this converter for them to work. Thankfully, this was a cheap perfect solution.

Used to CONNECT OLDER KAROKE MACHINE TO NEW TYPE OF TV

works sometimes others not. get distortion shuts off even though it shows that its connected

I purchased this to feed optical from a Sony TV to a receiver that only had RCA's. Using an RCA cable from TV to amp made hum and isolation was needed. The very cheap switching 5 vdc wall wart supply introduced noise into the amplifier. I replaced it with a spare 5vdc supply from an old Linksys router which was of higher quality and all switching noise disappeared. It works well for the money spent.
