They take a stereo input, so if your blu ray player has a step output it will work. However, nor that the speakers are analogue and stereo. You will not get surround sound.

You cannot, they answer this question on their website:https://sewelldirect.com/usb-soundbox-71-and-51-sound-cardQuestion:Could this product be the link between my blu-ray player and my Logitech z506 surround speakers? My blu-ray player has an optical output and my speakers have 3x3.5mm inputs for the 5.1 surround sound.Answer:Unfortunately no, it wouldn't work that way. This converts USB sound from a computer to analog output, it can't convert a toslink to analog output.

Yes, the unit has an optical input for surround sound, as well as a standard RCA input like you'd find on most TVs. Most likely, you can hook your box up to either input.

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

Since the only signal you need to send to the unit is audio, the only input connections you care about are 2 analog (RCA to 3.5mm or 3.5mm to RCA) and 2 digital (Digital Optical or Digital Coaxial). Digital gives you a better quality sound, but I would send the digital audio directly from the source (Receiver or Blu-Ray player) and not the TV. For best results, I use a fiber optic (Toslink) cable from Blu-ray player to Sound bar.

Hi Sal, Digital Audio out of the TV supports PMC/Dolby Digital Optical signals only. -Vincent

The Owner's Manual says on page 25, "Digital Audio Connection, (for digital broadcasting only) If you connect the unit to an external digital device, you can enjoy multi-channel audio like 5.1 ch digital broadcasting sound. Use a digital audio coaxial cable to connect the unit to external digital devices." I use the TV as a PC monitor for a larger screen thru the HDMI connector. I know tht this TV has a lot of capability. For further information call Emerison 1-866-309-8819 or go to www.emersonaudiovideo.com 9:00 A.M. - 11:00 P.M. Monday thru Friday. I do not personally use headphones.

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 a home 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.

This cable is for digital sound. Usually blue ray players only have an HDMI port. This cable is more for surround sound setups, which is why I bought it.

Yes buy a receiver with multiple HDMI inputs. That way you can connect all your accessories (cable box, blu-ray player, game consoles, etc) directly to the receiver, which will be connected to the surround speakers.

This has been my problem too (digital optical/ TOSLINK/ SPDIF compatibility). I think I might go for gaming headsets such as Turtlebeach (PX5 etc) and use it for both games and movies. Plus, they have a digital optical OUT that you can hook up with your home theater/ sound bar system.

I should have stated this a little better. The audio outs on all blu-ray players that i have been looking at are RCA type connections. My surround speakers now connect with "open end" wires.

No. The coaxial output is only digital audio. All the video goes out the HDMI output. I have found that some video sources only send the 5.1 Dolby audio out the HDMI (or possibly the optical output) unless it is changed to 2 channel stereo. For example, I have a Blue Ray video and playing it on my Sony BD player, only the background audio that is not in the selected language goes out the Coax port. The language audio (i.e. all the talking) goes mute unless I change this switcher into 2 channel stereo mode. Then the audio comes out the coax. Without doing this, the only audio heard is the sound effects like shoes walking, engine noises, etc. with no talking. I don't like that. I lose the 5.1 Dolby Surround for these videos.

John's right. I used mine as the convertor from PS3 optical to 5.1 surround. My surround had rca type inputs, no optical. Use this box to convert optical output to stereo, but if your surround box has optical input, this box isn't needed.

No you cannot because the bluray only has video outputs not inputs. You have an audio input option using digital but that's about it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish ??

probably not unless your surround sound system uses ethernet. Depending on your system, you may want an Optical cable, or HDMI
