Can this device allow me to connect a TV's digital audio output to a receiver's analog line inputs to get more audio volume? What cords are needed?

Hello Lobsterinthesun. I purchased one of these and it does what it needs to do. It will convert a digital audio output into an analog signal. I needed this to convert the digital output from a TV to an analog input to a PS3 unit. It will take either a Toslink digital output or a coaxil digital output and convert it to an analog output. All you would need to do is to take a set of RCA cables from the output of this unit and plug it into your receiver.

My receiver has 2 output, so I haven't tried this - but the directions indicate you only need hook up one RCA jack.

I'm not familiar with your specific components but if your tv has an HDMI output connected to the receivers HDMI input you should have HD video and digital audio going from the tv to the receiver through the HDMI cable.

Obviously your speakers need some kind of amp, internal (active speakers) or an external amp. Could you run this directly into an amp? Probably not because your TV likely outputs at full volume. You'll probably want some kind of preamp or volume control. But check your TV manual, if it does volume in the digital domain then you could. When I run my TV through it though, it is at full volume. Mine is TV > DAC > Integrated amp (basically a receiver w/o a radio) > passive speakers. And remember this is 2ch stereo, it won't do DD or DTS, you have to tell your TV to output PCM audio.

Yes, as long as your TV or Computer has standard RCA out jacks. Plug in a set of cables & you're good to go. Most of the TVs with output jacks provide only a pre-amplified signal, so you will have to control the volume at the receiver.

You need a receiver or amplifier. Use the HDMI or Digital out or Optical out from TV to a receiver/amp and then hook up the speakers to the amp. Directly from TV, it won't work.

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

I do not think this is what you are looking for. It won't help with input to the AV receiver. As for the AV output, this would split that signal into two identical signals, and I'm guessing you don't want to put the same signal into both 1 and 2 hdmi inputs on the TV.

Yes, the optical digital input has to be connected to a digital source. TVs nowadays all have these outputs. Some older TVs also have them as well. You can use the analog stereo mini Jack to connect to computers through the headphone / speaker line out.

This device doesn't do any transcoding/conversion of audio. It only pulls the audio from the source HDMI feed and sends it the digital optical/coax ports. If the source sends audio in a format that your soundbar/AV receiver doesn't support, this device won't help. It's mainly of use for people with HDMI source devices and soundbars/amplifiers that don't have HDMI inputs.

The D/A converter unit has standard RCA jack outputs which can be connected to any analog preamplifier, amplifier or low-level tape-style (250mV) inputs. So the sound data flows from TV (digital) to the optical OR Coaxial cable connected to the D/A converter. The analog outputs then can connect to any powered speaker unit or amp with analog (unbalanced) RCA connections. If the "soundbar" has an analog input, it should work. Many have digital coax or optical inputs, and in this case, the D/A converter is completely unnecessary.

It would depend on the audio output port options of your specific TV. The audio input of the speaker system is a standard AUX cable. If your TV does not have any audio output to match, it would still be possible given the right converter (not included, but not too expensive on amazon).

your Setup box would need to have composite or HDMI ouput, this you just connect it to one of the inputs of the Receiver, if you still use the old type of analog cable were you receive only a coaxial connection you would need a TV or VCR or Cable turner to pass signal from coaxial to a composite output.

same problem here, I have a Apple TV with Digital Audio Out and a pair of 3.5mm-jack speakers. Can I use this cable for this endeavor?

Almost! You will need a digital to audio converter first......here is the one I bought.... Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support Headphone/Speaker Outputs You connect the "Toslink" cable that comes with the converter.......from the TV to the converter. Then you connect the RCA cable from the other end of the converter.....to your sound bar. It works very well......GT:)

Unless the TV has external speaker drivers (unlikely), you'll need an amplifier hooked up to a TV sound output (which is the way mine are hooked up to a TV).

The FiiO D3 Digital to Analog converter does work since my Vizio LED TV only has a digital output. I use it for my wireless stereo headphone set since my wife does not like a loud TV and gives good quality sound.
