I was dismayed to discover that my new TV (LG 55LW5600) does not come with the Analog audio out RCA jack needed for my fancy wireless external speaker system. I thought I was a genius when I found I could hook it up through the cable box...until I learned that the analog audio feed on my external speaker was now out of sync with the digital audio of the TV set. The store where I bought my TV said I was simply out of luck since they have phased out the jack I needed from all the new TVs. Then I found this little device. I was concerned it would not work after reading this warning "NOTE: The D3 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." I simply could not determine compatibility from reading the manual from my TV but I rolled the dice and ordered it anyway. First I tried it in the cable box and got nothing but static. But when I plugged in through the optical audio out on the TV-presto! Crystal clear sound in perfect sync with the TV. No guarantees it will work with your particular TV set but for me it was perfection. Ten stars, twenty thumbs up couldn't be more pleased!!!!

Was able to plug the Toslink cable from my Apple TV and into my stereo via RCA jacks. Keep in mind two things: 1) It requires a power outlet for the AC adapter (included); and 2) if you're using Apple TV, be sure to set Dolby Digital to "OFF" in the settings. The sound was perfect! Highly recommended.

***Update March 16, 2012: Works with the new 1080 Apple TV.

Fast shipping and looks like good product, But does not work with latest Panasonic 32 inch LEDTV TCL32E3.

Tried to use it with existing stereo audio receiver. The problem is panasonic digitial audio out optical terminal outputs signal based

on the source signal There is no option to just output PCM. All the digital over the air TV channels are now ATSC and TV outputs

Dolby digital based on source TV signal and all you hear is digital click click noise from speakers.

My new State-of-the-art TV had only optical audio output, but my six-year-old surround sound system only had RCA inputs. What to do? I went to three different electronics stores, where all the "experts" told me I was out of luck and would have to buy a new stereo system. I decided to go online and look for a solution and found this convertor. After what I had been told, I was a little afraid to buy it, but bit the bullet. Boy, am I glad I did! It works great, and saved me from spending many hundreds on an allnew sound system.

I read most of the reviews for this converter and I was concerned about some of the issues others had experienced. At the end of the day the price made it easy to buy and try. I am pleased to report that the converter works like a charm and for the price almost seems too good to be true.

Here are the components in the family room where I needed the converter (for others who might be dealing with similar devices).

New Component Samsung 51" 1080p Plasma HDTV (PN51D530)

Existing Components Bose Cinemate Digital Home Theater (first generation), Element Blu-Ray Disc Player (EDBC011), AT&T U-Verse Scientific Atlantic DVR/Receiver (IPN430MC), Nintendo WII

Everything works like a charm. All of the components run through the converter and play through the Bose Cinemate Home Theater clearly. Setup took less than 10 minutes.

I purchased the converter with cables included for under $25 on Amazon! This was definitely a life saver that allowed me to incorporate a new television into a setup with very old components.
