Will this unit work with 5.1 Dolby Digital audio output? I have tried other devices that did not work...

Don't know. I just use it with my old wireless speakers because the new smart tv didn't have the right kind of output (old headphone jack). It works with them.

I am not sure. I used this on tv with toslink connection. It amplifies the sound since TV doesn't on the OUT connection points. It works great for this. Use with ear buds so night watching is silent for others sleeping.

No. This unit only has two output channels, left and right (stereo). '5.1' requires six channels, front: left & right, center, rear: left & right and subwoofer channel.

This cable should work with any device that supports Digital Optical Audio and has the appropriate optical input/output port. Consult your manual to verify it has the correct port. I just Googled your device and the instruction manual shows an optical digital-audio port. This cable should work just fine.

Yes...Very frustrating..I can get sound with Stereo, but not 5.1...Really makes the HD feeds useless...

Yes! 5.1 still works fine, I haven't tested 7.1 but I expect the original audio stream is passed straight through so anything that works over HDMI should work through the box.

I am not sure, depending on what audio outs are on the back of the set, but I don't think so. What you need on the back of the set is 5 seperate pos and neg speaker channels out (front R & L, front center, rear R & L, plus a subwoofer RCA out). You can check, but I think your TV audio outs will need to be run through an amplifier that supports dolby 5.1 for best effects.

does this unit send 5.1 surround through the optical SPDIF even though the TV supports 2.0? Because i plan to connect the optical SPDIF to the Hi-Fi which does support 5.1. Have read elsewhere that some models will only output through SPDIF that which is compatible with the TV (regardless of what is compatible with the Hi-Fi).

It will decode Dolby Digital 5.1 and down-mix it to 2.1. It will not decode DTS.

That's what I used it for -- while it does from time to time have some limitations (occasional cross-static, minimal volume irregularities, etc [which may actually have to do with my not exactly "new 5.1 surround sound system" itself]), for the most part adaptor works great !!!! Hope that helps.

No but there is a solution.The audio output is via stereo jack or the hdmi. What I did to have 5.1surround through a n optical cable was to connect the hdmi audio/video out to an hdmi / sprig (optical) splitter. You get as an output the hdmi signal + optical audio. I am using the viewHD splitter and it works perfectly

I have mine hooked up to my 5.1 surround sound with the optical wire and it works good.

Beats me. All I know is that your output must be strictly optical digital or it won't work. Apparently JVC couldn't come up with the technology to differentiate between pcm and dolby sound. I have it hooked to the analog which is at least better then the lousy speakers on the TV.

I have the same problem 5.1 only seems to pass thru HDMI 1. I have to connect my bluRay player directly to Amp to get 5.1

Here's a possibility: USB Multi-Channel Sound Converter With 5.1 7.1 Surround I haven't tried it yet but there are many positive comments

Short answer ... no. It merely strips what you would normally hear on the Left and Right audio channels and passes the signal through analog RCA cables. But to be fair, I'm not sure than anything really can. By definition, 5.1 and 7.1 are delivered over something greater than two channels. So a simple two-channel L/R signal simply isn't capable of carrying the content. There are devices that take two-channel audio as input and simulate 5.1 output, but this isn't one of them. I have such a whizbang gizmo connected to a 47" display in a small room with just two very good speakers. It's not "real" 5.1, and if you're a real audiophile type, you'll likely recognize it right away and turn up your nose. However, it does work well enough to fool you during an exceptionally well mastered Blu-Ray or a high-end video game. Suited my needs because 2 speakers were a better fit for both the room and my budget. But if you're looking to get full performance out of a 5.1 or 7.1 setup that you already own or are considering purchasing, inserting this device in the chain is probably the wrong way to go about things. You'll need to stick with HDMI throughout to create the best experience.

I wood say yes. It should send 5.1 audio! It just extends what is on the cable.

Not sure what you mean by True Dolby. In my set up my Yamaha receiver only supports 2 Toslink inputs and I needed to support 3 devices. Currently have my Xbox One, PS4 and 360 converging at this point and outputting to my receiver through a single line. My receiver recognizes all devices as having 5.1 surround. Recognizes DTS and Dolby through the switch.
