I have a new LED tv with only Digital Optical ouputs for Audio, + an Old-ish Reciever with RCA inputs, will this work for me?

No, This is an analog to digital conversion not the digital to analog that it sounds like you require.

It depends on the TV. Some televisions allow the optical output to be configured as a 2.0 channel or a 5.1 output, but this is usually a soft-setting (i.e. in the advanced audio menu). I think some TVs are hard-wired to be 2.0 only, but I could be wrong about that. Long story short, check the manual / technical specification for the audio in your TV; if the optical output can be configured (or already is) for a 2.0 output, then yes, this converted will work. However, if your TV's optical is strictly a 5.1 output (and can't be reconfigured to 2.0), then no, this will not work. One thing to remember - assuming you can get the 2.0 signal at the optical output of the TV, when an optical signal is absent (TV turned off), then this converter has a tendency to pass along low-level random noise...which makes sense because there's nothing to decode (no digital data stream). Yes, it would have been nice for them to include a "MUTE OUTPUT IF NO DIGITAL INPUT IS PRESENT" feature, but for this amount of money... So, keep that in mind - if you have the volume up on your old-school receiver, and the TV gets turned off, you might hear something like white noise (i.e. kind of like what rain on a roof sounds like). Hope this helps... Mark

Yes. This cable, plus an adapter for converting optical audio to analog (RCA) will do the job for you.

I am no expert. But if your audio output from you 2001 TV is Analog (RCA red and black audio cables) and the input to the digital speaker is digital (meaning an optical input or toslink) it should work based on my experience with my optical input toslink sondbar 2.1 by LG. My analog to digital converter worked great in my experience.

Yes, it depends on the source. If the source can read the format and send the digital via optical, the D/A converter will work.

This will take the sound from digital coax and digital toslink (optical) to the standard RCA (red/white) output. You will have to buy the cables to go with it (Optical cable and RCA cable) but yes it will work for you.

You could, but there are no RCA inputs which is usually the most common connection on a home receiver. Other than having a connection type adapter you should be able to use it. Make sure and turn off the backlit logo as it might be a little bright in a theater room.

Yes, it will convert the digital output from your TV to optical output. If your receiver accepts optical input, you have it made.

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.

Any newer TV will have an audio out port. Usually they'll have Optical also called TOSLINK. sometimes though it's only the old RCA red and white style. get yourself one of the type of cable that you need and then run that from your TV to your receiver

It should work. I have a Samsung LED TV that includes an Optical S/PDIF output. Connect this to the DC-1 with an optical cable and set the TV's volume control to Fixed (100%) for the S/PDIF output. You can then use the DC-1's remote control or a properly setup universal remote to control the volume. The one thing that you will be missing with this setup is a dedicated center channel. Something else to keep in mind, if you should ever want to add a subwoofer, you can connect the Rokit 5's using the balanced outs from the DC-1 (you may need an XLR to TRS cable) and connect a subwoofer to the unbalanced outs. Both outputs are always active on the DC-1. Good Luck! It should work. I have a Samsung LED TV that includes an Optical S/PDIF output.

Yes i have my led tv connected to the optical in source. There is also a sub woofer out port for a powered sub woofer which i also use. And there is a audio in port that accepts a 3.5 mm stereo jack for a tv or mp3 etc.

No. Your single female RCA S/PDIF output is a digital coax output. It's won't work plugged into a analog RCA input. You should have either a RCA digital coax input or a optical input on your sound bar for receiving digital audio. Alternatively, you can just plug in a pair of stereo RCA cables from the TV to the sound bar. Otherwise, you would need to use something like a SPDIF to analog converter.

If it has the standard red and white tv audio outputs it should hook up fine. Just make sure that if you are wanting to spread this system all around like a surround sound that you should pick up extra speaker wires.

No you cannot. This unit allows you to connect a digital INPUT signal (optical or coaxial (orange rca)) to the box and OUTPUT analog audio signal on the red and white rca connectors. It does not output on the optical port.

Should be no problem as long as your receiver has optical or digital outputs.

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.

I agree. All the new receivers require HDMI connections. If your TV does not have an HDMI connection for TV input then it will not work. The older TV's had the component cables (Red, Blue and Green).
