IMPORTANT NOTE For connecting TV's with Digital Audio output:
The GTV-DD-2-AA converter is what you should buy to connect a TV's Digital output to your Stereo or Home Theater System. With many TV's it will let you output all the HDMI inputs sound channels to analog Stereo.
Take the Digital audio output from a TV , DVD or other audio/video Source and convert it to analog audio so you can connect it to the L/R Stereo inputs of your amplifier or receiver.
Note - To use this with a DVD or Blu Ray player, you have to set the player to output "PCM"
not "Bitstream". This is because the DAC does not have a decoder for all of the possible versions of Dolby Digital and DTS - hey, it's a DAC, not a Receiver!
Digital Audio Transformed to Analog Audio -- Effortlessly and Simply
The Digital To Analog Audio converter box takes your coaxial/optical (S/PDIF or TOSLink) digital audio source and converts it to standard analog left/right audio, available for connection to an external device such as an amplifier or recording deck via standard RCA-style jacks. Now you can bridge your legacy sound system with digital sources such as DVD and CD players that don't have RCA-style analog outputs.
How it works
Simply run a short extension cable from an available digital audio output jack on your digital source device to the same type of digital input on the Converter. Select which kind of digital signal (coaxial or optical) is being input with the selector switch on the converter, then hook up your analog RCA-style left and right cables to the Converter's analog RCA jack outputs and power up all equipment. That's all there is to it!
