The RCA's are only input on the TV. The only audio output it has is a Digital Audio Output which is coaxal, so your receiver needs a digital audio coaxal input.

No. The RCA type connectors are used mostly to feed high impedance audio amps, etc. If the TV has only the RCA audio output, you must use a suitable amp or amplified speakers. Make sure the amp has an output for headphones. Good luck!

Unfortunately, no. There is no standard RCA-jack "AUX" input, nor are there any "HDMI" jacks.

I assume that you don't have an audio RCA output either. Many newer TV's only have a Toslink or Coax connector. I connect my Sennheiser to my Samsung SMART TV with a digital to analog converter. They accept Toslink or Coax inputs.The cheaper ones only take PCM and can be found for $10 to $25 on the internet. It works great for me.

Yes. I bought this in order to have surround sound for a media player (in my case, a projector) that did not have audio outputs. This let me convert HDMI to AV without any issue. Then I was able to route the AV cable to an amplifier.

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.

If you have a receiver that is 5.2 or 7.2 you can run one RCA cable to the Red and one to the white for the 2 sub outputs. That's what I did.

The adapter will down convert the HDMI to RCA video and stereo audio. I use it for tailgating with my battery operated TV and cell phone output.

Here's the deal: Apparently most tvs will downgrade the signal from the hdmi into 2.1 so if you use an optical audio out from the tv to the receiver it is transmitting the 2.1 signal to the receiver so you won't be getting the 5.1 dolby digital surround. I've been doing research on this for my upcoming surround sound system purchase and checked it out. If it still sounds ok to you then stick with it if you want. If you'd rather have true 5.1 then you need to run individual optical audio cables to the receiver from the sources. Hope this helps.

HDMI connection carry both the video and sound. Not being familiar with the advancement of audio receivers I can not say for certain that it will not work. Depending on the connections from your components that you have their may be a way to to do it. For me, I just connected it to the tv. Hope this helps.

I know of no reason why not - once the Data Stream has been converted from Digital [HDMI] with the Video and Audio information separated to Analog Composite [aka RCA], the receiving equipment will not know the difference between this converted signal and any other [normally] generated RCA information.

I do not think that will work... Digital audio rca cannot be split and input into the analog red and white on your receiver.

If you have RCA type audio output from your TV, this should work. This is the exact application for which I purchased this connector. Works great.

if you connect your TV(the optical Output) to "Digital to Analog Audio Decoder"in the optical input and then connect your speakers to "Digital to Analog Audio Decoder" to the analog outputs work in 5.1,if you want to connect the TV directly to the speakers, your speakers should have optical input and yes works in 5.1

It's designed to take input from HDMI and convert it to RCA, not the other way around. If you're trying to take RCA inputted from the home theater and convert it to HDMI to display on the TV I don't think this will work.

This will work assuming you are using the RCA end as output from the TV. The 3.5 mm end would attach to the sound bar- but you may need a male-male 3.5 mm cable to connect sound bar input to the 3.5 mm female end of the RCA cable. Clear?
