I have a Samsung 8700 tv with only an optical audio output jack. Can I use this to connect to an analog speaker to beef up the sound when I don't want to run it thru my bose Lifestyle system?

I'm not familiar with the Bose Lifestyle System and how it would interface with another speaker, but this FiiO will convert the optical signal from your TV, allowing an analog speaker or other analog audio hookup.

I assume that you don't have an audio RCA output either. Many newer TV's only have a Toslink or Coax connector. I connect my Sennheiser to my Samsung SMART TV with a digital to analog converter. They accept Toslink or Coax inputs.The cheaper ones only take PCM and can be found for $10 to $25 on the internet. It works great for me.

I doubt it. This is a center speaker channel speaker and the only connector in the back of this box is a just a pair of speaker terminals which should be connected with the output of the receiver. It doesn't have a digital input connector. I think what you really need is a sound bar which has a built-in amplifier designed to drive the speakers inside the sound bar and subwoofer.

You can route the audio through your TV "if" your TV has an optical output. You would want to check and make sure.

Probably not. This is a bare wire system and is intended to be connected to a receiver's speaker outputs. It does not have any intermediate connection logic or processor unit. Speakers only. I paired mine with an onkyo 7.2 surround receiver on amazon for $249.99. You can then connect with HDMI or component cables from your TV to the receiver.

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:)

You could connect this speaker to almost any modern tv with the right cable. There are adapters that convert digital outputs to analog ones and cables that convert from red/white audio jacks to a headphone style jack. The only reason why I wouldn't use this with a tv is that it is mono and not stereo so, although the sound will be loud, it will not be in stereo.

Keep in mind that if you are wanting your tv to output sound to a surround sound system. You can use the optical (toslink) output of tv to a surround sound system.

No, this device needs an analog, as in "headphone", output. Look for a Bluetooth transmitter that has an input for digital audio, either coax or optical if that is the only output you have on TV. I did not find any in a quick search. Another option is to convert digital audio back to stereo analog audio out with a device like the OREI DA21 optical SPDIF/Coaxial digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio converter with Headphone/Speaker output. Use the convertor to get analog audio, plug the IC-BTT01 into OREI DA21 headphone jack . This is a little too complicated in that you must power the converter and charge the transmitter. If you have digital audio out, then there is a good chance that you have at least RCA jacks out from the TV that are analog. Use these connections with an RCA to 3.5mm stereo jack adapter cable directly to the IC-BTT01. You may have to go into the TV menu for sound and enable the sound out as well as set it to "fixed" (versus variable) out. Good luck

You can try to connect it to your sound card with compatible ends or connect directly to speakers with speaker wire. I just use the RCA jack for my surround sound system.

Rod, There is both a digital optical and analog (3.5mm) audio output on this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

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 wouldn't recommend it. Check the impedance rating of the soundbar. If it's not 6 or 8 ohm, then it's not meant to take input signal from the amplifier. The soundbar is expecting digital sound signal from a TV. Not meant to be hooked up to speaker outputs from the amplifier.

There is NO analog audio out on this monitor. It does, however, have a DIGITAL audio out (coaxial). There MAY be a way to take this and convert it to stereo line out. You can find such a unit at http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Coaxial-Toslink-Converter/dp/B007S6U7I4 . Just use a digital audio coaxial cable to go from the digital out from this monitor, and hook it up to the input of this box, attach a DC power supply, and hook the outputs to a line input on an amplifier. Today's PC speakers take line level signals. With some adapters, you can connect the output of this box to the input of PC speakers. This would probably get around HDMI related woes. With HDMI, video and audio are routed TOGETHER. This can be a mess if you want to route your sound to good speakers or even a good stereo system. By the way, the Emerson monitor that I have is another one that I bought previously. When I ordered another one, there was only one left, and it got damaged. I was given another brand and model for the same price. From John Nozum

No you cannot. This unit allows you to connect a digital INPUT signal (optical or coaxial (orange rca)) to the box and OUTPUT analog audio signal on the red and white rca connectors. It does not output on the optical port.

yes, I use this to connect to my Bose system which is connected to the TV....

I used it to attach my Bose desktop speakers to my TV using the audio outputs since TV doesn't have a headphone plug. The only problem is the audio outputs have no volume control so I have control the volume via the speakers.
