Does this can convert from the Optical into 5.1 digital? I want to hook up a tv to a set of speakers with just 3 3.5mm jacks

"The S/PDIF IN signal only passes through to the S/PDIF OUT" according to the manual. It is a USB sound card for audio out of a computer. Not TV.

Ben, usually you cannot connect such speaker systems directly as the TVs do not have a 5.1 connectivity option. You may need a 5.1 receiver. Afaik all TVs only have digital or optical outlets that you may need to connect to your receiver.Hope that helps.

No you cannot use this to convert digital audio to analog audio. Line in, line out only.The six connections are the three component video, and three audio; digital and two RCA.

You cannot, they answer this question on their website:https://sewelldirect.com/usb-soundbox-71-and-51-sound-cardQuestion:Could this product be the link between my blu-ray player and my Logitech z506 surround speakers? My blu-ray player has an optical output and my speakers have 3x3.5mm inputs for the 5.1 surround sound.Answer:Unfortunately no, it wouldn't work that way. This converts USB sound from a computer to analog output, it can't convert a toslink to analog output.

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:)

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

My speakers do not use the digital interface, but I am using 5.1 speakers. If your speakers use the digital interface, I don't see any reason why they would not work in 5.1.

I am no expert. But if your audio output from you 2001 TV is Analog (RCA red and black audio cables) and the input to the digital speaker is digital (meaning an optical input or toslink) it should work based on my experience with my optical input toslink sondbar 2.1 by LG. My analog to digital converter worked great in my experience.

It is my understanding that this device, and I have no reason to doubt it, will convert a digital signal to a 'conventional' signal which is needed for some of our older devices that do not accept 'digital' signal ... I would say this would work for you if your cable device emits 'digital' sound outputs and you want to hook up this to a sound bar etc., that does not accept a digital signal ... works great for me!

Must be a typo the optical jack is a 1 x Digital S/PDIF ( toslink up to 5.1) channelOutput

No, you will need a product that converts coaxial output to optical input, C2G / Cables to Go 40018 Coaxial to Optical Digital Audio Converter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J2MV4/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk)

Yes, just hook the optical output of the tv into the dc-1. And make sure not to try and pass thru any 5.1 from the tv as this will result in silence thanks to the hdcp copy protection.

Yes, your tv has an optical digital output. Connect the digital cable to the sound bar and you are done.

Yes, it should. This will convert the analog red/white AV output from your TV to the Digital optical signal.In my case I have a small Bluetooth audio receiver with analog output connected to the AV input side and the digital output is connected to the optical connection on my stereo. It works great.

I am not sure, depending on what audio outs are on the back of the set, but I don't think so. What you need on the back of the set is 5 seperate pos and neg speaker channels out (front R & L, front center, rear R & L, plus a subwoofer RCA out). You can check, but I think your TV audio outs will need to be run through an amplifier that supports dolby 5.1 for best effects.

As far as I know the TV ears analog does not accept and optical signal, so the answer is "no". This unit just splits a single optical signal in to two. If you only have optical out from your TV you'll need to get a Digital to analog unit. U use the FiiO D3 (D03K) Digital to Analog Audio Converter which works well.

I used mine to split the signal from the subwoofer in the 7.1 receiver to made a 7.2 surround sound receiver and it work just perfect, but I'm not sure if you can split a digital output into analog signal.sorry that I could not be more helpful. Good luck.
