Regd Optical audio out. Our old home theatre system requires RCA in. Any one hooked the TVs optical out via a convertor to RCA? any suggestions?

I got this to do the same and it appears that it did not work for ME going from my 2012 Mitsubishi 92" DLP 3D R.P big-screen Digital Coaxial to RCA (Red,White output ) inputing it to my new Samsung Home Theater system 3D-Blue-ray and I still got no sound.... My next try is the Digital coaxial converter to Optical input on the Home Theater, I hope this helps you. I wish us both luck.. Greg

A couple ways to do it. You can use the rca. audio out connectors to the audio in jack of the apex. Or have tv goto a receiver and receiver out to apex using a lot more options. I have optical from tv to receiver then standard audio cable from receiver to apex. Hope this helps.

Are the stereo ports on your TV "output" only? if they are not "output only" then check your TV settings or use the RCA "in" ports for a DVD or VCR or plug it in to your house stereo.

I have a Blue Ray with digital audio output, the video is with HDMI, but I want to connect the audio to an amplifier. It works fine with DVD and Blue Ray disks, but when I want to play a home made CD of music, it distorts with noise. The device will convert your TV output to rca, sure, but I can't tell you if you will hear noise. Is cheap, so you can try.

Answer number 2 is exactly what I would do. Adapter from RCA analog to Digital optical. I have a Sony 200 disc cd player but lucky for me it has an optical out jack.

The sound system does not require optical cable setup. RCA (red/white) cables will work just as well.

There are basically two inputs on this. One is an optical and the other is rca. My tv has an optical out, so everything runs through my television then out to my sound bar. That way if you just want to use the sound from the tv you can.

My relatively new TV didn't and doesn't have "audio out" outlets either. I simply used the "digital audio out" outlet on the TV and connected it with a single cable (which probably came with the TV EARS Speaker - I can't remember) to the optical audio outlet on the TV EARS transmitter. I'm guessing that your new TV has a digital or optical outlet instead of the older audio out outlets as well .... but obviously this is just a guess on my part. Good luck!

Actually I'm using the optical audio output from my Sony tv to the optical input of the sound bar...not sure why it wouldn't work when using the red/white output from your tv into the soundbar...all I did was hook it up and turn my TV speaker off...make sure the blue light is lit up on the soundbar when powered up...

Connect with a digital optical cable...red and white. RCA cables are old technology

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

nope -- but you can get an adapter from monoprice.com for about twelve dollars -- search for Optical "Toslink to Coaxial (RCA) Digital Audio Converter", product id no 2948Hope this helps

Optical audio out is nice. Analog audio out is nice too. It lets you use older speakers or receivers that may sound great despite not being the latest whiz-bang technology.

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.

The only output is a optical out...they do make optical to RCA modules though
