Hello, Some people say the sound is RCA only. What is that and how can I convert the sound properly?

You get an RCA adapter that allows you to connect the red and white cable and convert them into a standard headphone output.

according to the product description "The RCA L/R output will not have sound if the incoming audio is multi-channel audio (>2CH)".So the answer depends on what your input audio signal is. it will NOT downmix 5.1 (or any >2channel) audio to stereo.

Hey, I had the same problem--you just need an RCA adaptor. Such as a speaker system that you can plug it into.

My friend has been using this converter and here is the reponse he sent to the question......I guarantee he did not go to his sound settings depending if he has windows XP, Win 7 or 8. It looks like this below. Sometimes you have to manually set it since your computer may not be ready to draw sound from the device to the speakers.

Both. The RCA is a mini. The one I bought did not help me at all. I have a Bose. George

I assume your older system is like mine and only has old school analog red and white audio in cable ports? If so it works just as described. It takes that optical digital signal and converts to analog output. I use it and sound quality is pretty darn good.

If you use i-20 SPDIF (digital coax/optical output) it should bypass its internal DAC, at least it is what PURE announces. Mine sounds amazing, but I sincerely don't know exactly where convert process occurs. In my case I've connected it through SPDIF to M1DAC Musical Fidelity and all sources connected to i-20 sounds amazing.

The input is RCA. I just bought RCA to 3.5 cable. Speakers are those spring loaded clips that pinch in the bare wire

It has "phono in" rca's in the back. Just FYI, running it with a Parasound A51 and they are really good together.

Steve, the recording quality was very bad and we ended up returning the unit. My older sister has an immense album collection we want to convert but we are still looking for a good quality converter and have yet to find one. This has been some years now since we started looking. good luck mc

Yes. And the sound is awesome. Coaxial or toslink. I'm running mine RCA out through a DAC converter.But tried all the connections and everything sounds great.Hope this helps.

If you have HDMI source connected, then RCA will have 2 channel sound, but you may have to set switch on unit to 2 channel

I don't require additional sound because it's in a guest room. I'd contact rca directly....

My vinyl to pc capture was pre hdmi. I used rca to pc audio input. Software must have vinyl clean up feature.outcome is not high quality, but provided a clean retro sound on cd for a friend who's father recorded the album for her. sorry, HDMI audio in from rca...haven't tried. Maybe Audicity could help

Component cables do not carry sound. Are you talking about the analog audio outputs? If so, this box does NOT convert digital audio to analog audio. It's digital in to digital out. Analog in to analog out.

I bought this a few months ago but have so far not been able to connect as it has no RCA connections. Should get XLR cables soon, so if you are not in a hurry, I can give you some feed back shortly (next 2 weeks)

Are you playing it on a flat surface? The RCA player that I have has worked fine thus far. You might want to contact the seller and request a replacement or a refund.
