Question: Does this work the other way?  I have an old school Red/Wht wire Bose Surround Sound player, but my TV only has an optical input?
Document: We have a lower-end Toshiba TV with no RCA out jacks to work with our 25-year old stereo in our master bedroom. This adapter works perfectly for our situation. You don't get true surround sound, but we didn't expect to for our bedroom system. Wouldn't use it on my main family room system, but for a bedroom it works great.
I found this an economical way to convert an optical audio output signal from a new flat screen TV so I could connect and use my older sound system that uses a analog input audio signal. This unit does the job very well.
This product only accepts 2-channel digital audio inputs. So before ordering; make sure that is what you are trying to convert.I purchased this item to allow me to drive two wireless analog speakers from my LED TV. Newer sets only have an optical digital audio output; no analog. They are either 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound, fixed level and intended to feed a Home Theater System; I found this out "the hard way".
This did not work and don't ask me why. So then what I did was hook up the coax to the blu-ray into the converter, then the red and white from the converter into the "CD" input of my stereo receiver.
I bought this to connect my analog headphones to my Apple TV. When I was watching old episodes of a TV show on Netflix everything worked great, but when I tried watching movies from my streamed from my computer, or newer netflix shows or movies, it didnt work. I bit the bullet, and bought a pair of Sony MDRDS6500 Digital Surround Headphones. I was trying to save money, and that didnt work. I just got the Sony Headphones today... Hoping this solves the issue.
I purchased a new tv, had optical sound out for my receiver, but it's an older model that doesn't have optical input, so i purchased this converter and now I have my surround sound again for my new LED tv. :)
I am so happy this works so well. My Apple TV unit came with the digital optical audio connection. I really did not want to replace my older Bose surround system it at this time as it still sounds great. However, it does not have an digital optical connection. This unit did the trick. It is very easy to connect.
This little adapter is nothing short of AMAZING! I didn't expect the sound quality I got for such an inexpensive adapter but the sound is great. I am using it to convert the digital output of my new TV for input to my older but high quality surround sound system. And this device made it quick, easy and sound PERFECT.
New TV Has  a Optical out  --Bose is a analog in --- This Little gadget works great to make both work
I tried everything and it did not work. There is no way to troubleshoot even for power. No lights. It just did not work and I don't know why. My system works and all the plugs worked with the previous devices. Pretty disappointed. Was really looking forward to hearing my TV through my stereo speakers again.
Answer: Yes it will.
