HDMI connections carries both digital audio and digital video. DVI is strictly a Digital video connection with no audio. If you are considering the SONY BDP-S1100 then you will have to upgrade to a TV with HDMI inputs and ahome theater receiver with DTS and Dolby processors. You will not be able to get audio to your present TV. The coaxial output on a Blu-ray or DVD player provides for 5.1 channel of digital audio but can only be connected to a home theater receiver. As far as I know NO TV sets have inputs for an external coaxial feed.

Digital Coax is a nifty little protocol that allows you to carry digital audio over an analog rca cable. That first statement is an assumption based on nothing other than the cable I'm using on mine. Most receivers these days have at least 1 digital coax input, but if you're going straight to the analog rca on your tv, you'll need to convert the signal with a little box like this:Portta PETDTAP Digital Coax and Optical Toslink to Analog Audio Converter

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.

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 look at the image of this cable, both ends look like that plug. I am using the cable on a Blu-Ray player from the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT connected directly to my HDTV's own COAXIAL DIGITAL IN connector. This might not work for you, double-check your manuals for the components to make sure. I learned the hard way--mistakenly bought a Digitial Optical Audio cable thinking it was the same thing as a Coaxial...not! Sorry I can't be more helpful. :D

No. HDMI carries audio but dvi doesn't, so you need a separate cable for that.

The Yamaha r-s700 doesn't have a digital coaxial connection. A digital coaxial wire looks like a single rca cable.This will not work properly. I purchased the same model and can't use it with my older stereo system. I have a newer Yamaha surround sound system and it works great. This one works on older systems...

Finding an image of your TV, is looks like there is only a headphone out and coaxial out. So you have two options. 1. The system should have come with a 1/8" to 1/8" (3.5mm), male to male, connection cable to go from the headphone jack on your TV to Aux 1 input on the speaker bar. If not one can be had on amazon for around 5-10 bucks. 2. Or you can get a Digital Coax to Optical Adapter, $13-20. BUT I would suggest the first, as the Pinnacle has no onboard decoding, and you would have to make sure the TV is outputting the COAX to PCM, and is just a mess of cables and adapter.

The cable you have shown is a sub woofer cable which is designed for the low level sounds (Base) and the Digital Coaxial is for all other surround sound channelsfor maximum surround sound connection. I have them both and they are fantastic cables. Mediabridge cables are incredibly priced and the quality of the cables are great. I don't think you will find a better cable for less.The back of your Blu-ray or cable box you will see Digital Coax out and on your receiver or sound bar you will see Digital Coax input, they are the female RCA Orange connections. Hope this helps The cable you have shown is a sub woofer cable which is designed for the low level sounds (Base) and the Digital Coaxial is for all other surround sound channelsfor maximum surround sound connection.

I believe the coax signal input into your tv is for RF (radio frequency) signal, either from an antenna or cable tv service. As such, this device (DVI output) will not work for your application.

I bought this y-cable 2 x RCA Male / 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable, 6 inch and this adapter Digital Audio To Analog Audio Converter, which comes with toslink cable. The problem solved but the price tag is not good for such option.

correct. and I am told that any regular old RCA cable will do. One other thing,though. I discovered that my TV's optical coax out is not always hot. It is not hot if the input is from a HDMI cable. That's a TV-specific issue. Might want to check yours to be sure. Have fun.

It should work. My TV had a DVI input plus separate audio in (RCA pin type ones). I am pleased with the product. I use 3.5mm stereo to RCA pin (red/white) cable with the product to make the audio connection.

I assume you want to hear some type of audio connection. you would be looking for an " RCA " audio cable. This is available at Amazon, Ebay, Radio Shack, etc.

Something like these for the analogue audio http://www.amazon.com/Emotiva-MRCA-1-0-RCA-Cable/dp/B00DMI06B0/ref=sr_1_416?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1394099870&sr=1-416&keywords=rca+cable If you are using the SPDIF via coax, something like this http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-102681-Quality-Digital-Coaxial/dp/B001V52PSI/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1394100005&sr=1-5&keywords=digital+coax+cable If you are using the SPDIF via optical, something like this http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Toslink-Digital-Connectors/dp/B004CANMCM/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1394100154&sr=1-10&keywords=toslink+optical+cable

The Best that you can do its to buy a TV with a L/R RCA OUT, and buy a Converter Cable. Im sure you can find one, Most TV have Audio OUT connector but not this one... Sorry. You can check the cable you need here: RiteAV - 3.5mm to RCA Stereo Male Cable - 6 inch

Just to add on to what David Oman said, the T.V. has the L/R audio output (red/white cables) and the Coaxial output, but it DOES NOT have the specific digital audio out port. So if you're looking to hook up a sound bar or extra speakers it can certainly do that BUT make sure that your sound bar/speakers are hooked up via coaxial or L/R audio cables.

It really doesn't exist. It is not possible for an analog signal (RCA) to be converted to a digital signal (USB) inside a cable. You would either need a CONVERTER, a little box that would convert the signal, or you would need a special video card for the computer. I tried this cable in both configurations: RCA video into computer, and video out of computer to RCA TV, and BOTH did not work. Just look for a converter or something with good reviews and was meant to do the job. DON'T GET THIS! Hope this helps!
