I have an old TV with only coax in. I have a cable digital to analog box but it does not have audio out jacks on TV or cable box. Can this go between the cable box and TV and will the TV work and will I be able to get audio out to a stereo receiver to...

If the cable box has coax out then yes it will send the coax signal which has audio to your tv; however to send audio to your stereo you will have to use an audio out source from your TV...like an headphone out. The belkin does not have audio outputs...only audio in, coax in, and svideo in.

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

If you can, run HDMI from cable box to receiver and then sep. HDMI from receiver to TV. If you don't have enough inputs, you can just go from the cable box direc to the TV. Use HDMI if possible, or you may need to run both video and either optical for audio to the tv

your Setup box would need to have composite or HDMI ouput, this you just connect it to one of the inputs of the Receiver, if you still use the old type of analog cable were you receive only a coaxial connection you would need a TV or VCR or Cable turner to pass signal from coaxial to a composite output.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

The RCA's are only input on the TV. The only audio output it has is a Digital Audio Output which is coaxal, so your receiver needs a digital audio coaxal input.

Hi James, Great question and great answers from these folks. Optical would be the likely way as the guys below mention. If you do not have optical in the TV (unlikely) then digital coax would work or you can go directly from the DVD/cable/satellite box with these audio cable to the soundbar. Contact AV-Express for further assistance.

My house is wired in coax and i broke the coax connection on the back of one of my TV's. But it also has a hdmi connection as well and have been trying to convert from coax to hdmi . I have been told there currently is no solution.

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 coaxial on this box is for audio not "cable" and it's output only. Not sure if this is what you mean.

No, not if you're looking for it to unscramble the cable channels? You would need a designated cable descrambler box to receive cable channels on your analog TV! All the RCA box will do is allow you to receive the free on air channels which are now in digital format instead of the old analog format.

You must convert the output signal from your TV audio, which is a digital signal over a coaxial cable type to an optical signal with a Toslink cable. The input into the sound bar will only receive an optical signal using the type of cable fitting dedicated for optical signals. I used this exact same converter on my TV and it worked perfectly. It's been installed for nearly a year and has performed flawlessly.

Sure. How well it works will depend on several factors, including the strength of the received signal, quality of the coax splitter, length and quality of all connecting coax lines, etc. Also, when you mention converter boxes, what boxes are you referring to? Any TV of any kind of recent vintage includes an OTA tuner, so you likely don't need a converter box at all. If you have an older TV without an OTA tuner, you might need one, but keep in mind that you're likely sacraficing any high-definition content.

This converter only does audio signals - you need a digital to analog video converter. Go here to see boxes for over he air conversion. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_fb_0_37?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords;=digital+to+analog+tv+signal+converter&sprefix;=digital+to+analog+TV+signal+converter%2Cinstant-video%2C161

There is a single analog audio out jack. The owner's manual depicts a single line RCA plug into this jack on the TV with a dual RCA plugs on the other end to connect to a home theater system if you wish. I am not using this function so I can not speak from experience. However, since there is only one audio out jack, I am assuming that it is a mono audio signal not a stereo signal. The Y cable just would provide mono sound to both the left and right channels of any audio device connected I would guess.

I saw a few Denon receivers featuring the ability to convert analogue signal types (like component and composite) up to digital, but that feature is the exception. The rule is, if the source uses a type of connection, that same type of connection has to go from the receiver to TV.FYI, ARC just deals with passing audio back from a TV to the receiver. If, for example, you have your cable TV hooked up directly to the TV, or you're using the TV's built in tuner, and sometimes you want to pipe the audio out to speakers, ARC allows the TV AUDIO to be output to the receiver.

It is possible to connect the cable box to the receiver HDMI port, connect the receiver to the TV and listen to the sound through the TV speakers. It WILL pass through the audio provided there is power to the receiver. The receiver does not have to be on as it would then play through the surround speakers rather than the TV speaker. Within the menus there is a pass-through option. Receiver, Setup, HDMI Setup, HDMI Through (I select CBL/SAT here which corresponds with the HDMI input port for the cable box).
