Question: Can i use this to convert Coaxial Audio to RCA (red and white cable)?
Document: A lot smaller than I imagined; works great.Maybe mine's defective but the AC adapter doesn't make contact sometimes. I thought it was broken after a week's use but I just unplugged and plugged it back in and it works normally.Bought a TV and am never satified with the speakers so I wanted to add them. Unfortunately the Tv only had digital coaxial audio output instead of the familiar red and white RCA. Didn't want to buy expensive speakers with coax input so I bought this.
Our new hdtv did not have older rca audio outputs to hook up to my stereo system.This switch will allow to do this. You will need just a RCA audio cable (red/white plugs) and one coax cable ( usually yellow). 100% HAPPY!
Why would you need one of these items? If you have a newer TV odds are it has an optical audio out signal that you can run to a stand alone sound system with an amplifier to get theater like sound. The problem with having just an optical out on a modern TV is that older sound systems use only RCA jacks for their input signal. RCA jacks = those red and white female connections on the back of your sound system.
Have A Sony WEGA (Pronounced Vega) high def TV that is about 11 years old with the white DVI connector for high def.We got a new Sony Blue Ray player and the outputs are only HDMI and coaxial. So we got aHDMI to DVI cable and the video worked but no audio.That DVI connector does not support audio like HDMI does and this TV does not have SPDIF/Coaxial input for audio either.The SPDIF/Coaxial is the Orange colored RCA jack.
I have a 50 inch Panasonic Viera Plasma TV with the Digital Optical for audio. I bought an RCA sound bar with the standard RCA red/white audio and this converter worked as described! Hooked everything up first and then plugged in the power cord and boom! Sound bar works. FYI- I recommend buying the Amazon Digital Optical/Toslink Cable for only $5 with this converter.
Bought digital audio cable at same time along with this item . . . hooked up in minutes to my new speaker bar / wireless sub-woofer that only support analog audio (RCA plugs) and it worked great. The conversion of digital audio sound to split analog (red/white RCA plugs) worked fine, although the overall sound volume was somewhat lower than I expected but still you can really crank up the higher quality volume on the external speakers.
I connected the optical cable (not included) to the Toslink port on the adapter and connected the other end to the S/PDIF port on the console. The USB on the headset goes into the Xbox One also, and of course the red/white cables from the headset go into the adapter. I must say I'm glad that I receive game audio from my headset just like did from my Xbox 360 and Call of Duty. The only thing now is that the microphone won't work, but that's Microsoft's issue.
I am a novice to the digital optical audio world. I wanted to connect my new hdtv to my old fashioned surround sound system that uses the red & white rca cable connections. I ordered both this & the optical cable. You pinch the little rubber coverings on the optical cable & pull them straight off, do not twist. One end goes into the tv & the other into this converter box. Then you attach the converter box to your stereo system by the red & white rca cables.
I have an older Bose Lifestyle system and it did not have an optical or coaxial jack for audio. This converter worked perfectly. I ran an optical cable from the LG LED TV to the converter and then used RCA audio plugs to the Bose video 1 input. Presto!
I actualy never heard of a coaxial cable until i bought my new TV. This device made my life soooo much easier!I recommend this converter for anyone who needs to hook up to a receiver or an Aux audio wire. You will need the adapter for an Aux cable (RCA to Aux adapter).Note: This converter does need to be plugged in to a power outlet to work.
Answer: Yes you can it has inputs for digital coaxial and fiber optic audio inputs which then output to rcas to an audio receiver
