Will the ViewHD converter work for connecting a new Samsung DVD player's Digital Coax audio out to an older Denon receiver to improve sound quality?

It should work. Caution, best to have the audio adapter powered up only when the sound source is in use.

I do not know. What I did was google what I needed to do. DVD Component output to HDTV Component Input.

I'm using it for a TV so if your DVD player has the correct audio output it should work fine.

I have a dvd vcr player combo and it only had the standard rca connections. I hooked it up and it worked great. Even with a hdmi coupler between hdmi cables. I switched between the 720 and 1080 settings but couldn't tell a big difference but they both worked. It's definitely worth a shot.

Yeah it should work it worked with my 17 years old denon I use to have and my new tv, it comes with an optical cable. The only thing you need is the analog cables.

As long as your TV has the appropriate inputs, you should be fine. Check the back of your TV and look for either a composite video input (yellow jack) or a component video input (red, blue, and green jacks). With each of those there will also be an audio input (red and white jacks). The player will come with the composite cable and audio cables. Use the component input if you have it (you'll need to buy the cables separately) for better picture quality. If you only have composite just use the cables that come with the player. Once you're all hooked up, just use the input button on your TV's remote to select the one that your player is hooked up to. One nice thing about this Sony player is that it also has an input button on its remote as well as volume buttons, and once you set it up to work with your TV, you won't even need the TV remote when you want to watch a DVD. If you only have a coax connection on your TV though, you will need to purchase an RF modulator, which will convert the DVD connections to a coax connection. Just be aware that picture quality will go down and you will get mono sound. Maybe not a big deal if you're just using it with a basic TV in the spare room. Hope this helps - good luck with your DVD player!

I would think the cables that come with it would work. However, why would you want to hook it to the directv receiver rather than the television? That way if you also have a DVD player (or something else) hooked to the tv, you can hear that through them as well.

Matthew, If your DVD Player has screw terminals it will but if it plugs in, it won't. I used mine to connect an antenna to coax. Hope this helps

Yes you can but you have to make sure you have the right one. I run HDMI from the dvd player to the TV. My audio out on the TV is coax and the audio in on my soundbar is an optical audio. I used this to convert coax audio from the TV to optical audio on the soundbar and it works great. You can also get one that converts optical audio to coax audio, so you have to be careful that you get the right one.

If your DVD has an optical Toslink audio output and your TV has a digital coax audio input, then yes, this is the proper device. However, if you're talking about connecting a DVD player for both audio/video to a standard coax cable/antenna input, then no, this is the wrong device. To do that... If your DVD player has composite output (red/white/yellow plugset), use Audiovox part # CRF907R If your DVD player has component (red/white/red/green/blue) or HDMI, you probably should return the DVD player and find one that supports composite video, or you should probably replace the TV.

I got this to do the same and it appears that it did not work for ME going from my 2012 Mitsubishi 92" DLP 3D R.P big-screen Digital Coaxial to RCA (Red,White output ) inputing it to my new Samsung Home Theater system 3D-Blue-ray and I still got no sound.... My next try is the Digital coaxial converter to Optical input on the Home Theater, I hope this helps you. I wish us both luck.. Greg

Hello Lobsterinthesun. I purchased one of these and it does what it needs to do. It will convert a digital audio output into an analog signal. I needed this to convert the digital output from a TV to an analog input to a PS3 unit. It will take either a Toslink digital output or a coaxil digital output and convert it to an analog output. All you would need to do is to take a set of RCA cables from the output of this unit and plug it into your receiver.

Yes and no. The PlayBar has only one input: fiberoptic. The Denon AVR-1612 does not include a fiberoptic output, so you cannot directly connect the receiver to the PlayBar. But your TV should have a fiberoptic output, so if you connect all the devices to the Denon via HDMI cables, then connect an HDMI cable from receiver to TV, then fiberoptic cable from TV to PlayBar, you should get sound from all sources connected to the receiver. If you do it this way, make sure that HDMI Audio Output is set to ON in the receiver set-up menu. However, connected this way, you will *NOT* get sound from the Receiver's built-in AM/FM tuner, nor will you get sound from any older devices that are connected to the receiver using analog audio/video cables (typically red/white/yellow RCA cables). There really is no advantage to using the Denon receiver in this set-up, unless your TV only has one or two HDMI inputs and you're trying to add more. But you could do that more simply (and inexpensively) with a simple HDMI switch. For simplicity, I'd recommend connecting all devices to the TV with HDMI cables, and connect the fiberoptic output of the TV to the PlayBar. This way the TV handles all source switching and whatever source is selected on the TV will play through the PlayBar. Hope that helps.

The only thing Denon calls out is "6 (3D/1080p/4K Ultra HD)". The replacement model does call out HDMI 2.0. Based on that, I'd say probably say no.

Kevin is right. But as an option I ran the HDMI from DVD to receiver with HDMI pass through feature. Receiver extracted audio from HDMI and converter handles video. This way I got surround. I didn't use the stereo only audio out of the converter.

Hi Miranda,Being a DVD player only (and not a surround system/DVD combo), you only have the standard digital output (coax style, NOT optical) and the red/white RCA outputs. You would need to purchase an amplifier to hook your speakers to after using the 2 outputs I just described. What model is your old Philips? If I can look that one up, I can probably give you an even better answer.Mike

In theory, YES, buy probably not. When I used the adapter with my Denon Receiver, they both could not negotiate a resolution, and the screen would flash back and forth.
