You will have to have a separate connection to your stereo receiver from your TV. The audio output is not supported by this modulator.

yes it can go between the box and the tv if it has composite cable output (most do have them) and the tv will work. It will not send sound to the stereo. if the tv has a headphone jack you might be able to connect to the stereo using it.

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.

Here is an easy way to find out. Use the cable output connection on your box and run a short piece of TV cable from the box to the cable input connection on the back of your analog set. If you get a picture this way, you will get a picture with the transmitter set up. If your cable box has the old cable output connection, you should be able to find out quickly. You will need the audio video RCA connectors on both units (red, white, yellow) to actually make it work.

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.

Just to add on to what David Oman said, the T.V. has the L/R audio output (red/white cables) and the Coaxial output, but it DOES NOT have the specific digital audio out port. So if you're looking to hook up a sound bar or extra speakers it can certainly do that BUT make sure that your sound bar/speakers are hooked up via coaxial or L/R audio cables.

You'll need to buy a digital interface that will accept a Toslink input and output analog connectors that your AV Receiver will accept...unless you AV Receiver has an optical digital (Toslink) input somewhere on the back...which it should if it's not too old. I send the Toslink output to digital interface that converts it to coaxial digital output (bought on Amazon) and then on to a DAC that accepts the coax digital...said DAC then outputs with red and white analog outputs that go to my preamp (AVR for you). Check the back of your AVR and see it there's a optical digital (Toslink) input.

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

You'll probably want to get a set-top box from your cable provider and then run HDMI from it (the box) to the receiver. If you'd rather not do that (and who wants another "rental" fee from the cable company?) then you'll have a few options, which I'll explain below... I'm not sure if this receiver does an "audio return channel" (ARC) over HDMI or not. ARC can bring audio from the cable (or other inputs) from the TV to the receiver over the HDMI cable. ARC is part of the HDMI 1.4 standard but I haven't read the manual for this product; not sure if it does it or not. If it does, you're golden. Just program the receiver to do it. Shouldn't take more than thirty seconds. If it doesn't support ARC, you'll need to leave the coaxial cable plugged into the TV and (in order of signal quality from best to worst) run an optical (Toslink) audio cable or an RCA digital "coaxial" audio cable or (*gasp*) an RCA ("red and white") analog cable from the TV to the receiver. The "coaxial" connector on the receiver refers to coaxial digital audio. It's likely that your TV will have a Toslink output on the back panel. That will give the highest quality signal. A 12-foot Belkin "Pure A/V" Toslink cable should cost less than $10 (plus shipping). Nearly every A/V cable I own was made by Belkin and I've had excellent results from them all. I hope this helps you to make sense of your connectivity problem. Best of luck!

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).

No it doesn't. From the manual: "SPDIF OUT - DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (coaxial): Use a digital coaxial cable to connect your TV to a compatible audio receiver." Your only option for analog (other than purchasing a digital -> analog converter) is to use the headphone jack w/adapter cabling for basic (2 ch) stereo output.

if you have a digital cable already, you should check the 'audio set-up' settings on your receiver & tv, using your manuals to make sure you choose the audio settings you want (which i assume are dts,dolby digital multi channel etc.). if your cable is running directly from your tv to your receiver it might not be able to decode dts/dolby digital. a lot of tv's do not have a built in decoder. hope this helps.

The only use for the optical out that I can see is to send stereo sound to an amp or receiver. Its just a different medium than using the stereo white/red rca connectors. Any sound that comes into the tv, basically standard coaxial cable, would be output to the receiver.To me this is pointless because if you have a receiver to begin with, just hook the video signals to the tv and the audio signals to the receiver. Just use the tv as a monitor.The PS3 might have a setting in the unit to enable sound through optical out.

Digital Coax is a nifty little protocol that allows you to carry digital audio over an analog rca cable. That first statement is an assumption based on nothing other than the cable I'm using on mine. Most receivers these days have at least 1 digital coax input, but if you're going straight to the analog rca on your tv, you'll need to convert the signal with a little box like this:Portta PETDTAP Digital Coax and Optical Toslink to Analog Audio Converter

you either need an Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable or an HDMI cable depending on the connections you box has. Although if you TV has HDMI ARC this will work better, with the ARc connection your TV will always pass audio through

You can use either RCA, Coaxial or TOSLink Digital cables (Cables Not Included). "Converts coaxial or toslink digital audio signals to analog L/R audio and connects to an external device such as an amplifier via standard RCA jacks." Hope this helps.

If I understand you properly, you cannot feed the TV with the RCA plugs. They are designed only to "take" the raw video and audio and give it a channel 3 or 4 output into your television. It only works in one direction. What you can do, in case I read this backwards, is take any raw signal, video/audio, feed it into the box and then use the coax fitting to attach it to the antenna connection on the rear of your set. If that is broken, I don't think you have a use for this if that is what you are attempting to accomplish. If you have a sat receiver or DVR or such, you can use it as a source for raw video/audio out and feed it to your TV that way provided your TV as the RCA video and audio inputs.

It's possible. If the tv connectors are labeled audio out, that means that they will output a signal. Those connectors are either powered or unpowered. If they are powered, then the connectors have an amplifier inside the tv to deliver powered sound to unpowered speakers. OR, the connectors could just be providing a very low power audio output for connection to a stereo receiver or some other equivalent source that can provide the amplification needed to drive the speakers. The only way to find out is to go ahead and test it. Turn on your tv, turn the volume down to it's lowest setting, then connect the speakers. Then, slowly turn up the volume to see if you get any sound. If you do, you're all set. If you don't then you need connect the tv outputs to a stereo or multichannel receiver, or something similar that can provide the power to drive the speakers. Good luck!

Forgot one thing: If you have the TV taking in the broadcast or cable signal and you want sound from speakers driven by the Sony receiver then you must use the audio out jack (a mini-plug) from the tv to one of the analog inputs on the receiver. Make sure the speaker pattern setting on the amplifier matches your speaker set-up or the sound will not be properly routed.
