AC3? The LG tv outputs optical audio in AC3 format. Does this unit convert AC3 to RCA? Thanks!!

Not 100% sure about AC3 format (or any other to be honest) I'm not as tech savvy as I once was. With that being said, I had no issues with converting the output from my Panasonic 3D plasma that I bought last year nor with my original Xbox 360 (not slimline). I am however pretty sure that the optical output is in a standard format unlike the HDMI output that has gone through several revisions where older cables aren't capable of transmitting a 3D signal as an example. The biggest question would be if the device with RCA inputs is capable of decoding the AC3 signal. I hope this helps. If it doesn't, Amazon and most vendors I've felt with have been very good with returns. I would recommend asking the seller if they're willing to take it it back if it doesn't decode properly.

Yes this converts up to 3 Analog/digital Signals to 1 Analog/Digital source. I used this for a Bose Cinemate Sounbar since the aux would override the default Optical in. Hooked a 400 CD Disk changer up to switcher 2channel audio Hooked up Blu-Ray using optical Toslink Hooked up DirectTV digital box using optical Toslink Outputed 1 Digital Optical Toslink to soundbar, and based on what I want to listen to I just hit Source 1,2 or 3 and it swaps to that source.

The system has a digital optical in (TOSLINK) on the back to plug straight in. The system can also stream Bluetooth audio with a paired device. Finally... If you have a newer LG tv, the tv can send audio to the receiver over the HDMI cable between the two devices.... LG calls this the HDMI ARC and it is configured on the LG tv.

As far as I know the TV ears analog does not accept and optical signal, so the answer is "no". This unit just splits a single optical signal in to two. If you only have optical out from your TV you'll need to get a Digital to analog unit. U use the FiiO D3 (D03K) Digital to Analog Audio Converter which works 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

1 RCA analog Video but no L/R analog Audio, 1 coaxial digital audio for home receivers/amplifiers, 1 HDMI for digital Video and Audio. If your TV does not have an HDMI connector, a low-cost HDMI to RCA analog L/R Audio converter can be purchased.

Sadly they did away with the Dolby Digital coaxial input to decode the AC-3 Dolby Digital signal from the newer model Onkyo receivers. So you will have to just use the digital output but it will not give you the true AC-3 with all of the discrete Dolby Digital channels that the laserdisc player separate output was intended to deliver. I have upgraded my Onkyo receivers and had same problem.

You probably have discovered by now that this unit does not have optical (toslink) audio out, only digital coax (a single RCA jack that may have a yellow colored collar). Hope this helps! - Dr.Maxx

I purchased this recently and can answer the audio output question - it is digital toslink only - there are a ton of digital to rca converters for $15 or so if this is a problem.

The only use for the optical out that I can see is to send stereo sound to an amp or receiver. Its just a different medium than using the stereo white/red rca connectors. Any sound that comes into the tv, basically standard coaxial cable, would be output to the receiver.To me this is pointless because if you have a receiver to begin with, just hook the video signals to the tv and the audio signals to the receiver. Just use the tv as a monitor.The PS3 might have a setting in the unit to enable sound through optical out.

The previous answer is basically correct. The 3 RCA cable connections are analog and the HDMI is digital so, this cable (or any other) will simply adapt from one type of connector to another but will not convert from one signal type to another. For that, you will need to purchase a converter. I would also check your ATT converter box to see if it does in fact have an analog output. I don't know about ATT but Cox, DirecTV and most other providers boxes provide several output so people with older TV's don't have to go buy a new TV. Hope this helps.

Hi again, Jerry... Just want to clarify my earlier answer... the speaker connections are not RCA. The phono, tape, CD and Video/Aux connectors are RCA. Sorry if my first answer was confusing....

you could get a $10 ish converter box to take the optical to rca digital, I've had to do that for my audio receiver as it came with more rca digital, than optical, and HDMI was yet to include audio pass through at the time.

My setup is:Raspberry <HDMI> ViewHDViewHD <HDMI> TVViewHD <TOSLink/optical> Onkyo TX-SR500The ViewHD is provided with a switch that you can switch between pass-through/2CH/5.1, in my case 5.1So when I have AC3 content played on the raspberry it is detected as Dolby D on the Onkyo.No chance to test DTS yet.

This didn't work for me. I have a TV with a digital output and a sound bar with rca inputs and optical inputs. I ended up buying a digital to optical converter for twenty five bucks. It works good.

This card has built-in 5.1 surround audio (AC3) pass-through capabilities, the new GPUs and graphics cards support a single HDMI connection direct to a compatible TV or receiver. This single cable carries both the HD video and 5.1 surround audio for a clean, high definition connection. I personally haven't used this card for TV, and can't verify the results due to the vast number of TV and receiver options available. But, the AC3 and 1080p quality is stunning.

I cannot answer that question as I use it only for my TV and DVD players. I did look on the back and there is no RCA type plug. My suggestion is that you contact LG customer support for the answer. Here is their customer support link: http://www.lg.com/hk_en/support/contact-customer-support.
