My tv has an optical audio connection, and a stereo receiver with RCA connections. Looking at other answers sounds like this will work for both?

You can't connect a receiver to the soundbar, unless the receiver has a line level output. Since this is an active soundbar, it's designed to be used without a receiver.

Honestly, buy a new receiver. You need this, and then you can continue using the speakers you have. Trying to do this any other way is not a good idea, and will end up costing you the same amount of money and continued frustrations on lack of HDMI inputs and outputs.

If your receiver can be connected to your TV via HDMI, and you set the receiver to output the audio to the TV, you could in theory run it like this and the sound would be output by the soundbar (when the soundbar is connected to the TV directly)

this converts digital (optical) audio to analog as it says on the device. If your receiver takes RCA (analog) inputs it should work. I am using it on a TV with an optical out connected to an old pair of sony speakers with RCA inputs and it works fine.

You will need an optical cable or a 3.5mm to stereo rca cable to connect to a stereo. Thanks!

The unit has 2 optical inputs and 1 coax input for digital audio, and RCA inputs for analog audio. So you'll have a couple of options with your Dish receiver: either connect it directly to the unit with one of those audio cables (depending on the outputs the Dish receiver has), or use your TV's Digital Out to connect it to the unit (not that most TVs downsample their Digital Out so it's better to connect the receiver directly to the unit).

I'm not sure how to answer. This is a single channel splitter. It will take a single RCA output and split to two. If you have right and left RCA outputs on your TV, you shouldn't need this. If there is a single output, it may not be RCA, as it should be stereo. If it is a digital output (usually yellow), this will not work as you will need a digital converter and amplifier. I hope this info helps you.

This device should work, however, if your TV isn't capable of outputting high quality sound (Dolby, DTS, etc) your receiver audio may sound not as good as it could be but it should work.

Yes it will. It comes with the optical cable, you just need a red/white RCA cable to connect from the converter to speakers/tv.

If your audio port is a pair of RCA stereo outputs you will need an adapter available at Radio Shack but to answer your question, yes. It should work quite well.

Yes, you need to buy an optical to RCA converter as I did... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BVT4M30/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

This HDMI adapter works for adapting the HDMI(Digital) signal to a Component(Red, Blue, Green-Analog) and stereo out(Red, White- Audio). Unless your TV has component input then you would only be able to use the audio stereo from this adapter. There are different converters out there that are able to convert HDMI(Digital) to composite(S-Video) or to an RCA(Yellow-Analog) format. I hope this helps. Good luck.

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

I would think so. I am using mine to connect one of my TVs, that only has an optical out, to AV receiver and speakers.

There are two specs for this kind of audio--optical and coaxial. The optical terminal is flat on three sides and curved on the fourth side. If both your TV and cable box have such inputs, this cable will work fine (although this particular one is only 3 feet long, I think). Coax inputs look more like normal RCA inputs (round)-if your digital connectors are coax this cable won't work for you. Best I can tell you without seeing your setup!

You will have to have a separate connection to your stereo receiver from your TV. The audio output is not supported by this modulator.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).
