I guess you need to buy a separate cable for converting coaxial audio? The cable included looks like it is just for optical audio.

You can use either RCA, Coaxial or TOSLink Digital cables (Cables Not Included). "Converts coaxial or toslink digital audio signals to analog L/R audio and connects to an external device such as an amplifier via standard RCA jacks." Hope this helps.

I had to return it because I thought it worked one way, but it actually worked the opposite way.

correct. and I am told that any regular old RCA cable will do. One other thing,though. I discovered that my TV's optical coax out is not always hot. It is not hot if the input is from a HDMI cable. That's a TV-specific issue. Might want to check yours to be sure. Have fun.

The Stereo Audio Output Jack on the bottom can be used as an optical audio output jack also. You will need a Toslink to Optical Mini Plug Digital Cable or an optical cable with an Optical 3.5mm Mini Adapter. I've tried both ways and each way worked very well.

Hello Erwin, I'm not sure but as far as I know this cable (RCA) is analog and you are not going to be able to convert the signal from analog to digital signal (optical cable) without a converter. Hopefully this will help you. Later man.

Does your cable box have an optical out? If so you might be able to use that as your output to the sound bar.

This is used between rca and 3.5 mm as far as I know you can't connect it to a coaxial. You would be better off buying a 3.5 speaker system for pc or rca speakers for tv as the voltage and there for the sound do not synch correctly.

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

I bought a Yamaha sound bar that only connects to my TV. On the back of it is the place to connect the TV to the soundbar. The TV said Digital sound and the Yamaha only has optical sound I had to get the extra cord to make the connection work properly. Apparently this is very common with many electronic devices. The cables are much more expensive at local retailers.

For a small fee, I use my computer Hdmi output, which is converted without loss in optics, after to a high-end audio converter. this is the best and least expensive solutions for streaming audio.

The cable you have shown is a sub woofer cable which is designed for the low level sounds (Base) and the Digital Coaxial is for all other surround sound channelsfor maximum surround sound connection. I have them both and they are fantastic cables. Mediabridge cables are incredibly priced and the quality of the cables are great. I don't think you will find a better cable for less.The back of your Blu-ray or cable box you will see Digital Coax out and on your receiver or sound bar you will see Digital Coax input, they are the female RCA Orange connections.

type this into the search box.coaxial digital audio to optical digital audio converter.if this comes up, the coaxial digital cable should come out of the tv and into the first part of the converter.then the optical digital cable should come out of the other end and into the yamaha.

This is for optical to coax. You need the opposite, coax to optical. There should be a similar product available on here that works in the opposite direction.

No, coaxial audio is a digital signal and headphones are an analog signal.You would need some sort of converter to accomplish that. Also you would not even be able to make the physical connection due to the fact that the black end of this cable is only another RCA jack and not a 3.55mm headphone jack.

Yes. This unit has coax (F-connector) digital audio in and converts it to optical cable digital audio out. My unit works perfectly.

you need a coax cable (I had this same problem, I got one from Radio Shack and problem solved)

maybe....... There are 3 inputs: one for optical cable, one for coaxial cable, and one for good old RCA cables. If your PC has any of these as an audio out it will work.

I don't see why I shouldn't? My TV only had coaxial output and my bluray surround system had optical and it worked great.

Almost! You will need a digital to audio converter first......here is the one I bought.... Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support Headphone/Speaker Outputs You connect the "Toslink" cable that comes with the converter.......from the TV to the converter. Then you connect the RCA cable from the other end of the converter.....to your sound bar. It works very well......GT:)
