Converter worked great with DVD player, but unable to make it work with clear audio, HDTV over the air antenna- pulsing static . Any suggestions?

When this device works it works great. However- if there is any type of decoding- Dolby, 5.1 channel, etc it produces a terrible noise. I use this primarily with Netflix- whether it works or not is dependent upon the program- some programs have soundtracks embedded with Dolby or other sound enhancers. I don't think there is much you can do about it. I am unable to turn off decoding on my LG flatscreen- perhaps you can with some TV's. Go into your audio menu and see if you can switch it to stereo only. Good luck.

Had the same problem with Xbox360, make sure everything is turned from 5.1 to Stereo.

Hmmm, Only suggestion I can make is to unplug the power to it and plug it in again, sometimes it needs to be restarted.

Hey Nicholas, we had to go to best buy and buy a converter. It was a little pricey, but worth it. Hope this helps. :)

I use same set up, just connect antenna to back of converter where it says antenna and then run out cable to tv. Works fine, great reception.

Also check tv settings. Is it digital or analog audio? My tv has digital input that needed a converter. I used old minidisc recorder. There is also standalone converters for around $80 iirc.

Hi Loretta, sorry to hear this. have tried other inputs like DVD/BD player, computer, game console, cable box? have you checked your physical cables for loose connection? have you tried changing physical cables from your devices going to your TV? -Vincent

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

I run mine about the same distance. I too had issues until I figured out my receiver was 1080p and my TV was 720p. Turned on 720p only and bingo. Works great! Maybe check your wireing.

correct. and I am told that any regular old RCA cable will do. One other thing,though. I discovered that my TV's optical coax out is not always hot. It is not hot if the input is from a HDMI cable. That's a TV-specific issue. Might want to check yours to be sure. Have fun.

Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself. I switched the tv back to analog and turned on the DR560. The channels came in the same as my dtv or converter box I use on another tv. I would think it has to do with the Input as someone already answered. I am hooked up with the RCA jacks from the dvd to tv. You might want to try the RF Modulator if you don't have the jacks. That's one reason I purchased a new TV. Also, someone wrote about the clock being an issue after Feb. 17th. I checked the manual and it does allow you to manually set the clock, so hopefully this will not be an issue. Hope this helps. Good Luck Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself.

Contact the seller first then amazon if you get no satisfactory response, I have had less than stellar results but only because I am using it with a non HD receiver.

Please let me know what connections did you use to get this improvement? I am experiencing the same problem. Did you use component out from DirectTV HD DVR and/or SD DVD player to the receiver? Did you use a separate digital out to the receiver for the sound?

I use this unit only for DVD play back. The antenna needs a newer type of air HDTV hook in unit and I so seldom am in an area where I can't get cable hook-up I just haven't tried other options. gary c

I would suggest checking the settings on the DVD player. Many will have multiple options for audio output.

Ronald, Here is an idea. Use an older DVD player that has a coaxial connector input on the back and a RCA or RGB output. I also broke the RG6 Coaxial Cable connector on the back of my TV. I was able to watch my TV through the DVD player. It is a quick fix, but at least your TV will still work.

I have tried some converters. So far none of them has worked. However, I have not tried the model that you specify.

No adjustment on the converter that I'm aware of. Mine setup works great - however my setup precludes me from knowing if output signal strengths are low. I ran a FO cable from the TV through this converter into my stereo and from the stereo to speakers. So my stereo amp would mask any 'low' signal level. Since I do not have to turn up the volume on my stereo I suspect that the converter's output it good.(stereo volume level 3 out of 10 is more than enough).

I am glad to help if I can. I am an old man, so I understand the frustration. Also that is why I keep correcting myself -- too many mistakes these days.Here are a couple of other ideas at Amazon, using the TV adapter, but plugging the red and white cables into a 3.5mm headphone jack:3.5mm Male to RCA Female - 6 inchC2G / Cables to Go 40645 3.5mm Stereo Male To 2X RCA Female Adapter
