This Coax or Optical to RCA Audio Converter takes the optical output from your flatscreen & converts it to stereo audio to use on older AV receivers, some Bose systems or stereo headphones. It supports a COAX input also along with the optical input. See the above front and back pictures.

This product does not support encoded Dolby Digital audio. Verify you can turn off Dolby Digital in the source you will be connecting to this converter. For a Dolby Digital version of this product see our other products in this section. If you need to convert DOLBY DIGITAL AUDIO (see your TV or device manual) see the below paragraph in RED or the above "Similar" products or "Dolby Digital" Optical to Stereo Converter.

  • Convert a flat screens optical output to R/L stereo to go into your older AV receiver or BOSE system
  • Convert a flat screens optical output to R/L stereo to go your analog right and left headphones
  • Convert Optical Audio to RCA L&R stereo audio
  • Integrated digital interpolator filter and digital-to-analog convert (DAC)
  • Accepts uncompressed digital audio input
  • 2-channel LPCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation)
  • 24-bit S/PDIF incoming bitstream on left and right channels
  • Compact and easy to install
  • International power supply: 2 prong 100-240V at 50/60Hz AC adapter

The Digital To Analog Audio converter box takes your coaxial/optical (S/PDIF or TOSLink) digital audio source and converts it to standard analog left/right audio, available for connection to an external device such as an amplifier or recording deck via standard RCA-style jacks.

NOTE: This device supports an input format of LPCM or 2CH (check your TV manual for the optical output specs) so if the optical output of your device is Dolby Digital you will need this Dolby Digital Audio to Stereo Converter. Check your TV manual to see what it outputs or call the mfr. This Digital Audio to Stereo Audio Converter cannot be used in reverse.

How this optical audio to stereo works: Simply run a short extension cable from an available digital audio output jack on your digital source device to the same type of digital input on the Converter. When connected to the Toslink and Coaxial cables at the same time, the product will give priority to Toslink input. Insert which kind of digital signal (coaxial or optical) is being input on the converter, then hook up your analog RCA-style left and right cables to the Converter's analog RCA jack outputs and power up all equipment. That's all there is to it!

TIP: All optical cables come with a protective cap on each end of the cable to prevent damage to the small optical pin. THE CAP MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE YOU USE IT AS INSERTING THE CABLE WITH THE CAP ON WILL DAMAGE THIS DEVICE AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY. TAKE THE CAP OFF!

NOTE: PS3 users cannot output both digital and analog audio at the same time. By using our toslink splitter and this Digital Audio to Stereo Audio Converter you now will be able to send both audio signals at the same time.

Q:. Will this device convert Dolby Digital to RCA stereo?

A: NO it will not convert Dolby Digital but on alot of products you can change the source device settings. The most common problem we have seen is a change in settings on your device your trying to convert to right and left stereo.

As advertised this device converts LPCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulation), which is a method of encoding audio information digitally. Sometimes we have seen that customer have their systems set to Dolby Digital. This setting must be changed on the device your are trying to convert. Most DVD players and other devices support LPCM and other settings. You need to get into the menu of the source device and adjust Dolby Digital to LPCM or other by using your remote control.

NOTE: This Optical to Stereo Audio Converter does not support Dolby, DTS, or other surround sound signals. Therefore, it is important that the digital audio output of your device defaults to or can be set to PCM/LPCM output. Otherwise the sound will be static. This product does not support encoded Dolby Digital audio. Verify you can turn off Dolby Digital in the source you will be connecting to this converter. For a Dolby Digital version of this product see our other products in this section.
