What is the difference between the digital and the analog?

These are two different means of transmitting, detecting, and amplifying sound waves. They are not interchangeable. Analog is the earlier mode, but still useful.

Digital homes in the precise frequency, (with a button). Analog is never quite as precise, hence inferior reception, both audio and visual. Does that make sense? Always opt for digital when possible.

I am not sure. I have never used the analog version. I bought the digital because I thought it might have better sound reproduction. I am very satisfied with it and don't watch TV without it.

Purchased the digital for my husband. The quality of the sound is amazing!! Can't speak to the analog on the TV ears, just know digital quality is always superior to analog.

Hi, I don't use them my husband does and he says they really help him hear. He's hard of hearing and especially on the PBS programs they truly help. Good luck!

Analog. Very simple to use. I don't agree with the other reviewer, but you have to make sure that both units are set to same frequency either both up or both down. If they're not you will get static.

Not sure about the non-digital but you can probably look up the dimensions of both on line.

No, this box needs a fiber optic (Toslink) input for a digital output. It does not convert analog to digital.

Digital. But break easily if you plan to use them everyday. We are on our third pair in 2 yrs. they now have a new set for 200

I tried the exact same thing. It doesn't work because this product is not as described. The title states digital to analog conversion but it is actually vice versa. It is an Analog to digital adapter. I would get my money back if I were you.

No, this unit is NOT digital, HOWEVER it can pick up analog trunking systems. The radio unit itself IS digital this just means it has buttons on it like a calculater would, and it has a digital led display.I hope this helped

William, they are digital and the sound is great when using a digital TV and the program is high def. Remember if your set is analog or the show is analog, digital only gives you greater range (distance you can be from the set and still hear) and it is not as sensitive to physical obstruction. I wish you could try a pair before you invest in them, since the ear pieces are very small and the ear pads are not comfortable. The ear buds wear out quickly and are very expensive. Buying from Amazon is a good idea, because the first unit that was shipped to me was dead on arrival, and Amazon has a great return policy.

Rich's answer on 11.7.13 is correct, but perhaps a bit vague for anyone that doesn't grasp the difference between analog and digital. So, here's my interpretation of the same correct answer he gave: It captures the analog audio in real time, out of necessity. [Capture while it's fast forwarding, will yield an audio capture that's sped up like chipmunks on speed]. Once it's digitized, then you can covert to different digital formats in much, much less time.

I believe the 2040 has analog controls vs. digital on the 2050. The 2050 is fully programmable in addition to preset drills.

they do not have any difference... both do not have a digital display ... only the oldest model has.

That would depend on the quality of the analog audio AND the quality of the digitally-encoded audio. Think "garbage-in~garbage-out".

Lottalotion, Most of the television models will have either (or both) analog or a digital optical output. The 4003 model last year was a seasonal item, and was designed to meet a very low price point. If you have a question about specific models and features on those models, we'll be happy to answer those here - just ask, and we're happy to assist. --Mr. S

Thanks Steve. So is it a fact that it's analog and not digital? Next time I'll stick to buying Sony.

No analog. Nobody makes it that easy to transfer your old tapes to digital. Digital in and out is via USB using Play Memories software.

I am not sure about analog signals either. Our area was all digital when I purchased my TiVo. Works great with my roof top antenna.

2050 is digital while the 2040 is analog. As far as I know, both has pre-programmed drils (64) while in the 2050 you can program your own drills by hooking it up in the computer
