My question is, I have a 32 inch Dynex tv with an orange Digital audio port while my dvd home theater system has a Digital optical port. Will this item work ?

If your Dynex is an digital audio output this works great. I had to use this for my Mitsubish DLP to my Sound bar with optical input

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

If you want to connect the audio output from the TV to the home theater's input it would work but not the other way around.

Yes, it worked great, I have an 82in Mitsubishi TV with a Coaxial and my Sony home theather system have an Optical input. This product worked GREAT, before I found this product I tried everything to connect the two and I keep coming up with an analog signal. This is the only product I could find that would work and give me the Digital signal that I needed for the surround sound amp. I hope one day the TV world and the Surround sound world would get on the same page, but most TVs come with Coaxial out and the new Surround Amps require and Optical input. THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT!!!

It works in one direction only, but I have a Digital audio output on my TV and a Digital Optical port on my home theater system and it works perfect.

Yes, that's what this does. I have an HD TV that did not have a plug-in for optical hook-up for my sound bar. I was able to circumvent that using this converter. A very nice piece of equipment. Now my TV drives the sound bar and, with a switch, my DVD/VCR also work the sound bar. Good luck! Hope this helps.

I used to sell home audio equipment. A couple of other guys I worked with did tests on what is better between digital coax and optical. They could not tell the difference between the two. That said, they might not have had the best ears for such a test. Most people say optical is better but if digital coax is your only option you will still get superb sound over stereo left and right cables or other options besides the digital cables.

I have the 65 inch tv and it has the optical audio out..thats the one I use to connect to my home theater system

Does this mean that the speakers on teh TV will still be able to play audio?And that the audio from the DVD needs to get to the Onkyo via optical?So you can use the TV for center speaker, and the rest of the speakers for the soundstage? Sounds good! And also allows the system to remain simple to use (for the wife) without the Onkyo, but can easily become a ciname system at the press of a power button? Wow!

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

If your TV has an audio out jack: analog, just hook it up to one of the Aux Ins on the receiver; digital, you need an adaptor I bought one at best buy brand name Dynex Direct part 3 might be 13C07A or maybe DX-SF110. You could probably find one on Amazon. Just be sure to see if the jack is analog or digital.

mary miller, Yes, provided your TV has an audio output that supports either digital optical, or analog out ports. Do you have an audio output on the back of your set? --Mr. S

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0. Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up.

optical connections are standard. Will work with all optical connections for home audio.

It will, it is sized the same as RCA cables. I have mine running from my blu ray's digital out to my home surround. It is a coaxial cable though so it is basically the red and white of a RCA cable combined. I'm not sure this cable will work with the set up you are trying to use unless I'm missing something somewhere. You won't be able to split the signal into the left and right channel with this cable. You might be better off using some high speed gold plated A/V cables. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

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.

Yes it will, as it did for me between my denon receiver and blue ray dvd. The quality of digital audio is much better than the conventional std.

Dear Denise,Thank you for your question regarding our Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable. We would need to know the model of the TV and the converter box to give you a definite answer, but if the TV is providing digital audio output via TOSLINK and the converter accepts digital audio via TOSLINK this cable should be compatible.Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thank You,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com
