This is a great cheap solution to make your older sound equipment (Analog) play nice with the optical out features many newer TV's come with today. Overall Review: Came with a Optical cable. So I factory reset the Direct TV, and now it works great! (BTW, factory resetting the Direct TV box still didn't fix the previous problem of analog sound lag with the Direct TV to Bose)Ĭons: Requires a 5v plug (Included in box) So i got the Gefen, ran the optical out from the TV to the Gefen then to the Bose.ĭidn't work at first, there was still a sound lag from the TV. Basically it was the TV's fault, but there was no place to adjust the sound delay either on the Direct TV box or the Insigna TV. I had a sound lag issue when i got the TV from the Direct TV box using the Analog hookup from the Direct TV to Bose setup. I have a Direct TV HD Box, New Insignia LED 32" and a First Gen Bose CineMate 2.1 Sound setup. I hope this clears up a little confusion for the next guy. I'm knocking one off only because the description didn't make it a little more clearer what this converter would and WOULD NOT do. This IS NOT the unit you need if you want to connect your new Optical Audio Out TV to your legacy stereo equipment. If you input a Dolby 5.1 signal into this converter, you will get nothing but SILENCE out. If you input a stereo signal into this converter, you'll get a nice stereo signal out. I needed something to connect our newly purchased LG 55LW6500 TV to our 20 year old Kenwood AMP. Overall Review: I purchased this unit only to find out after hooking it up I had purchased the wrong converter. You would want to do (1) if possible, because then you wouldn't have to switch inputs on your receiver when going back and forth between your cable box and ATV.Pros: It converts optical digital stereo to analog stereo beautifully!Ĭons: The description for this unit could be a little clearer to those of us who have never had ANY experience with Optical Audio. You can buy a DAC, connect your ATV to it with an optical cable, and connect it to another input on your receiver using RCA cables. Then your cable box and ATV should play through Line 1 on your receiver depending on which is selected as the current input on your TV.Ģ. If your cable box connects to your TV with HDMI, then you should be able to unplug the RCA cables from the cable box and connect them to your TV's audio out. Of course you get audio from your cable box when you leave the receiver set to Line 1 your cable box is what's connected to it! No mystery there.ġ. That's why you don't get any audio from your receiver for your ATV. That's why you get audio from it.īut your TV is not connected to your receiver for audio, and neither is your Apple TV. So your cable box is connected to your receiver for audio. Everyone else I ask says I need to add a converter to the ATV and then plug that into my amplifier, but you two seem convinced otherwise. In fact, if I leave the amp set to Line 1 (the line I use for sound from the TV), I still get sound from whatever program is on through the cable box, but not the sound from what I am watching on the Apple TV. If I turn off the volume on the amp and turn UP the volume on the TV, I get sound through the TV speakers, but not through the amplifier. I plugged the ATV into HMDI 3, plug it in, set the TV for HDMI 3. The Audio out is set on ALL three HDMI ports to ON. The cable box has two RCA cables attached to the inputs in the receiver. The cable box is connected to the TV output, cable box input.
