Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as expected This adapter enabled me to connect a soundbar via an optical digital connection rather than an analog audio connection, improving the sound quality from TV.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Porduct! Connects from the digital audio OUT on my Phillips flat screen TV to the optical audio IN on my Bose sound system. Totally saved the day for me and works great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I've Got Sound! I ordered this to connect my new LG soundbar to my LED TV. Since my TV did not have an optical outlet, using my new soundbar was delayed. The TOSLINK Optical Digital Audio Converter did the job. It was simple to connect. It would have been nice to have the Coaxial cable included AND instructions to remind one to change TV audio settings once the product is connected. All in all, however, it did the trick!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A real problem solver the converter really got me out of a jam. I was using the earphone jack to connect to my sound bar and something came loss inside the TV and it would no longer work. When the converter came, I plugged it in and it worked right away.

I need to know if this is what i need. I have a tv that has the fiber optical output. My surround has the rf digital audio input. So just to make sure im getting across what i need to say is. My tv has the output with the red light. My surround has the input for the digital audio cable that is similar to a rca cable. Will this converter do the job. I really have no idea. I need to make sure i get the correct one
Asked by: Chris
This converter is for the opposite direction and will not work for you, Chris from Chattanooga. RCA Coaxial must be coming from the tv to the converter.

i have a mitsubishi dlp tv with only a digital coax output but my bose cinemate series ii has both rca input nd optical input, will this product solve my issue?

Asked by: Anonymous
Yes this product will work for your solution. The Digital Coax cable goes from the TV to our device and then you would connect a Optical from the device to your Bose.

will this item backwards convert as well: TOSLINK to Coax?

Asked by: hearightnow
No. It will only go from Coaxial to TOSLINK. Our part 40429 will convert either signal in either direction.

Will this product pass thru DTS cable tv signal from my Misubishi DLP to my Sony receiver? Is there a cheaper or more expensive converter that handles different frequencies? I am using one I got from you thru Amazon.
