I have a Sharp TV and Bose Cinemate Series II. I can no longer use HDMI with optical audio like I could on my older LG TV. Will this product help?

This switch may work but it does not pass through Dolby Digital 5.1 audio to the optical out.

It will help because it separates the digital audio signal from the HDMI cable and lets you send it to your stereo via optical cable. So if you are asking if this will help you get optical audio to your stereo because your TV can't send it directly then yes it will.

Yes, it worked great, I have an 82in Mitsubishi TV with a Coaxial and my Sony home theather system have an Optical input. This product worked GREAT, before I found this product I tried everything to connect the two and I keep coming up with an analog signal. This is the only product I could find that would work and give me the Digital signal that I needed for the surround sound amp. I hope one day the TV world and the Surround sound world would get on the same page, but most TVs come with Coaxial out and the new Surround Amps require and Optical input. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT!!!

Yes, if you TV does not have optical out this is the way to go. I had the same problem and this little device solved for me.

I will try this when I get home (I'm almost 100% positive that it will work :-)). I'm seeing the same problem in my blueray home theatre system. Thanks for sharing the resolution.

I'm assuming that you're connecting to a television. Depending on how old your TV is, you may have to go into the settings menu on the TV and select the audio source as HDMI. If your audio source going to the TV was previously "optical" or "digital", etc. then it may require a manual change in the menu settings back to HDMI. Just a guess. Good luck.

Unfortunately I can give you no answer regarding this question. I am using the HDMI inputs/outputs. My unit has 4 HDMI in and 2 HDMI out. I do not recall my unit having optical outputs.

Nope. This particular item is an adapter for making specialized runs of hdmi. It's hdmi on one end and the other is a whole bunch of pins that mate up with a special extension cable just for this purpose.This link has some general information about video and audio connections: http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/en_us/web/article_498_making_your_audio_and_video_connections/page.html If you post some more specific info about what equipment you have, that would help narrow down what direction you need to head towards :-)

Yes. This cable, plus an adapter for converting optical audio to analog (RCA) will do the job for you.

Yes! This will do it, but you will also need an adapter to convert the optical audio.

I had to use a separate audio cable when I connected the HDMI and I don't know if that was a symptom of the projector that I was using or the cable. I'll test the cable on another TV to see if that works and amend this response.

I was told to send it to the manufacturer. My sound stopped working. I was using an HDMI connection to my projector from my surround sound. I think the hdmi board fizzled out on me.

Yes, it should. This will convert the analog red/white AV output from your TV to the Digital optical signal.In my case I have a small Bluetooth audio receiver with analog output connected to the AV input side and the digital output is connected to the optical connection on my stereo. It works great.

This is for connecting multiple INPUTS to one reciever or one output to multiple receivers. So if your Bose has optical input and your Cable box has optical output this can help. But this product has a lot of issues with reliablilty.

Sorry the answer is no. Check your tv to see if it has optical (toslink) out.

I doubt it--It needs a special connector which would be labeled "optical"--Most late model TVs have one--I have a new (2014) Dell computer and it does not have a plug-in for optical on the sound card---

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.

Depends on the output of your TV, but the Bose unit accepts the 3.5mm stereo cable as input. If your TV has an RCA out, then it should work. http://products.bose.com/pdf/customer_service/owners/og_sounddock10.pdf
