5Exactly what I needed! No problems!Apr 02, 2009
By Dane Shepherd
Works great for my application! My brand new SHARP Aquos has five HDMI inputs, but only one Optical audio out. My old BOSE LS-50 only has ONE COAX Digital-in (and NO optical). This unit allowed me to pass all of the audio through my TV (PS3, Wii, Tuner, PC, etc.) and out to the BOSE without a switchbox or changing wires all the time.

I have NOT had to power-cycle the device yet (as other have warned) and it has worked consistently and sounds great.

**NOTE** As others have mentioned; BE SURE to get the right one!!! This model is OPTICAL-IN, COAX OUT. These are uni-directional and this unit will not convert COAX to optical. Choose carefully!

5Audio ConverterSep 07, 2007
By Buddy
Works well, simple and straight forward design. Be sure of your need (optical to coax) or (coas to optical). These converters work only on way-do not accidentally order the wrong converter.

5Works like it's supposed toAug 28, 2007
By Amozarte
I had the problem of too many TOSLINK outputs and not enough inputs. The good news for me was that I did have one spare Coax input. This converter easily made the switch and I'm enjoying my digital audio with no problems.

Please be aware that this is a powered unit- so plan to have a power brick (albeit a small one) plugged in somewhere near your desired install location. Also, the unit itself is about the length and width of a business card, and about as thick as a deck of cards. In other words, it's pretty small and can fit just about anywhere.

5Exactly What I Needed For my HDTV to Sound SystemJan 19, 2010
By H. W. Berryman
I have been trying for some time now to figure out what I needed to convert the Optical Audio out on my new HD TV to my Philips Surround Sound System. My TV unfortunately did not have a HDMI output despite having 4 HDMI inputs. The Video out was handled by a set of Component Video Outs.

I think my main problem was not knowing the correct technical name for all the jacks. As it turns out the TV optical jack is generally called a TOSLINK - The Philips unit had a Digital Coaxial Input as well as standard RCA sort of inputs. I wanted to maintain a high quality audio signal so I found this device which has allowed me to use the TOSLINK Optical Output on the TV and connect it to the Coaxial Digital Input on the Philips.

I bought this Toslink cable for the tv out
Mediabridge - Toslink Cable - Optical Digital Audio Cable - 3ft

and this Digital Coax Cable for the philips in
Belkin PureAV AV20100-03 3-Foot Digital Coaxial Audio Cable

Everything worked perfectly and took about 30 seconds to hook up.

Note that this item requires a power plug.

4Good, but aometimes goes berserk!Jun 28, 2009
By Sleepless in Tijuana
I bought this converter to be able to connect my PS3 to my home theater, which only had a coaxial input... I refused to buy a new home theater because it's not easy to find one with an active subwoofer (nor cheap)which mine has.
It usually works perfect, but sometimes after a while, and all of a sudden, normal sounds become a very loud and irritating hiss, which usually scares the hell out of me...
I think I found out what causes this: It gets too hot, since it was besides my PS3, so I repositioned it in a cooler, better ventilated place, and that was it... recommended
