I have a cable box with analog audio out which I run to my HiFi stereo, but it won't sync with the HDMI picture on my new 4K LP TV which is sent from the same box. Will this extractor box solve the problem?

Most likely not. But maybe. The sure fire way would be to use a Audio Receiver with HDMI. This would provide audio sync.

If you do not have an ARC HDMI connection on your TV use the digital output on your TV to the digital Input on your receiver with a Toslink cable. This is what I had to do and it works perfectly.

PamRosa,We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option.--Mr. S

I have the same issue, unfortunately zone 2 line out (RCA jacks) only work with analog inputs (which is useless because we are all inputting digital sound through the HDMI).

you sure you don't have the cable in the audio pc/hmdi input (this connection is in "input 5" box, just above and to the right of the digital audio output; i believe this is the same connection type...) judging by the lack of picture instead of audio, that is my best guess anyway. someone correct me if i'm wrong (my tv is hanging and i cannot really see the connections), but i do not believe this device has a standard audio output (besides the headphone out)...

Well the ? I have is do you have a hdmi ready cable box ? If so you have the hdmi cable go from the cable box to the hdmi "out" on the receiver and then you will need another hdmi cable to come from the hdmi IN 3 (cab/sat) and plug that into the back of the tv. It is all done with hdmi cables. This is also the only way to get the set up menu to be viewed on your tv also. This is a great receiver so I hope it works out for you. I have had it for a week and it is so much better then my last 2 onkyo's !

I assume your older system is like mine and only has old school analog red and white audio in cable ports? If so it works just as described. It takes that optical digital signal and converts to analog output. I use it and sound quality is pretty darn good.

Sure the internal DAC is simple and not sophisticated and will convert the audio HDMI stream to the analog stereo outputs. I use mine only to extract the optical or coaxial SPDIF digital audio stream output that is maintained in its original form in the HDMI stream to analog, using an external DAC as mine Benchmark DAC2-HGC. That is my main use for the unit.

The device you're connecting to is most likely not HMDI Audio Return Channel (ARC) capable, if you read in the instruction manual it says you can only use the HDMI with devices that are ARC capable. I personally connect mine through the SPDIF / optical connection, optical cables are cheap if you look around online, and most modern TVs within the past 3 or 4 years all have SPDIF outputs. The SPDIF jack kind-of looks like a USB type-b acceptor but with a flap over it. I would suggest seeing if your TV or other device has this.

It may depend on whether your HDMI source includes HDCP copy protection - most capture cards respect HDCP and will not accept an HDMI video signal with HDCP embedded. If the HDMI doesn't work, the analog component capture may be a solution.

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.

In order for my setup to work correctly I have to use both the HDMI and the optical out on my Apple TV. My receiver is a 2001 Integra DTR6.2 which was made before HDMI existed so I run my HDMI into this switch and out to the TV. I then run the optical output from each device into this optical switch - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003C15798/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This works for me. I'm not sure if I answered your question. However one thing that I can tell you is tht this switch will not separate the audio from the video, which is why I needed the seperate optical switch.

that was my situation, which this converter solved perfectly. The yellow cable is likely standard def HVHS, which won't look good at all. don't know what the coax is, an rf signal supposed to go into a tuner?? the hdmi will work with Loftek box.cheers,bill taylor

Jeremy,Since this device converts HDMI to a standard definition analog signal there should be no issues with HDCP, which is to prevent HD digital to HD digital copying. If your 'older flat panel' is really SD then this is what you want. If your TV is HD capable, you'll want an HDMI to component (red, green, blue) or HDMI to DVI adapter (see HDFury.com). I am using the Sabrent to connect the zone 2 HDMI output of my Denon AVR to a DVD recorder that only has composite (yellow, red, black) and S-video inputs, and it works well.

If I were you I'd first make sure that your monitor supports HDCP. Otherwise it's probably not going to work. If it does support it, it will be a simple plug and play HOWEVER you will need a surround sound or some similar a/v system to output your audio to. most monitors do not have a way to play sound at all. Most cable boxes have component out (red/white plugs basic audio) and optical audio (smallish square port with flap that has best audio).
