I needed to pull the audio signal from an LG TV eARC HDMI port and send it over ethernet to a Sonos Port in another part of my house. The Sonos port has RCA inputs. Plugged one end of HDMI cable into TV eARC port, the other end of HDMI cable into this OREI converter. Then plugged this converter's RCA cables into an audio over ethernet balun that's connected to cat 5e cable that runs to the Sonos port in the other area of the house. Plugged the RCA cables from balun on the far end of ethernet run into the Sonos Port, and, boom, it worked perfectly with no audio degredation. This OREI HDMI audio converter converted the eARC audio signal to RCA analog and everything worked great. Thanks for making a good product.

I recently purchased an AppleTV unit to use with my Integra DTR-8.5 A/V Receiver and my Family Room TV. For some background info, I use my Macbook Pro as the source for the music and video. For my audio and video systems, my main (Zone 1) speakers are in my family room and my Zone 2 speakers are located in several rooms in my house and on my deck. I use the Zone 1 speakers for viewing videos and TV programs and use the Zone 2 (and Zone 1) speakers when I want to listen to music throughout the house.Like many A/V Receivers, my Integra requires analog input for its Zone 2 speakers. In addition, my 2 HDMI ports were already dedicated to my Cable (Tivo) and PS-3 inputs.With the AppleTV, I wanted to be able to watch iTune videos and listen to my iTune music library, however, the AppleTV only has digital outputs: one HDMI and one Digital Optical Audio. There were no ports in my A/V receiver available that I could use from the AppleTV. Here is how I solved my problem (and it works great):The ingredients necessary are: 3 Bluerigger Toslink Cables, 2 RCA Analog Cables, 1 HDMI Cable, 1 ViewHD SPDIF Splitter, and 1 Orei D/A Converter (see their full names listed below).From the AppleTV HDMI port, I connected to my HDMI 3 input on my TV (my normal Television/Tivo input uses the HDMI 1 input). This provides the video input into my family room TV.From the AppleTV Digital Optical Audio port, I connected a Bluerigger Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable (3 feet). This cable connects to a ViewHD SPDIF/Toslink Digital Optical Audio Splitter 1x3 (one input to Three Outputs). I only needed two outputs - one output goes unused.From the splitter, using the first of the three output ports, I used another 3 foot Bluerigger Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable. This cable goes into an Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5 mm Jack Support Headphone/Speaker Outputs. This converts the Digital Optical Audio into the analog input required for my Zone 2 speakers.From the Orei converter I connected two RCA cables to the DVD analog input jacks on my Integra. This is for the analog input requirement for Zone 2.From the second ViewHD splitter port I connected a third Bluerigger Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable (this one is 15 feet) into the Digital Optical Audio input for DVD on my Integra receiver. This provides the Zone 1 digital audio input into the receiver.This configuration does exactly what I wanted. I have high quality video images for watching iTunes videos and for Airplay viewing. My audio comes from my A/V receiver with full 5.1 surround sound. When I want to broadcast music throughout my house, I have high quality (albeit analog) music throughout my house. Note that the Zone 2 audio quality is still great. I am very satisfied with the outcome of this rather complicated connection project.Finally, to control all the set-up for this, I use my Logitech programmable universal remote control. To watch AppleTV, I set my TV to HDMI 3 and my A/V Receiver to DVD. To listen to music throughout the house, I also set my Zone 2 speakers to DVD.Note that the ViewHD splitter and the Orei D/A converter each require power input so you will need another two power jacks to plug the adapters. Just more wires/cables to deal with behind your audio/video center.I purchased all of these products using various sources from Amazon. Since Apple only provides a Digital-only AppleTV, I hope this helps some folks deal with the same type of issues. Each of the products: Bluerigger cables, Orei Converter and ViewHD splitter work great.

UPDATE Sep/12/2015 - Product shuts off on any sort of power interruption (had a few during the heat wave). That coupled with the low volume does it for me. Returning the product for a refund.Product doesn't work when AC power is switched off and then on again. Solution: Do not turn off AC power to the unit.Thanks to Amazon, I got a second unit shipped to me after I found a problem with Orei DA21X, as described in detail below. Alas, the second unit also has the exact same problem. Problem aside, the unit works as advertised, although I found the output signal a bit on the weak side, which, however, can be fixed by cranking up the volume.SYMPTOM/PROBLEMWhen I connected the Orei DA21x between my LG TV's optical digital output (set to PCM output as recommended by Orei), it seemed to work initially. However, the next day there was no signal out to the amp, even though I could see the laser beam in the digital optical cable from the TV. When I disconnected and reconnected the DC plug from the AC/DC converter (the only way to "reset" the device), it started working again. Thinking there was a flaw with the particular unit I received, I exchanged it for another unit with Amazon. Surprisingly, the new unit suffered from the exact same problem! (I wwitch off AC supply to all my electronics - including Orei - at night, and, upon power up next day, Orei doesn't work until a hard "reboot" by disconnecting and reconnecting the DC plug into the unit.) I figured the problem starts with me switching off the AC. As an experiment, I unplugged the AC plug of Orei's AC/DC converter, and sure enough, it stopped working when I reconnected the AC plug. I repeated this on both units. So, if the AC power to the unit is off, it seems to go into a weird state, and the only way to bring it out is to do a "reset" by disconnect/reconnecting the DC connector.SOLUTIONTo fix the problem, I have connected it to a non-switched AC power strip (i.e. one that I don't turn off at night). And now it seems to be working fine. However, since I travel, I will turn off AC to all the electronics in the house, including Orei. When I return, I suspect I'll have to "reset" Orei as described above. This is a hassle, as the unit is at the back of a cabinet, behind a drawer. I have to pull the drawer out, reset the device and then put the drawer back into position. For reasons I won't go into here, I don't want to put it out where I can access it more easily. I'll see how the current setup works out - if it turns out to be too much of a hassle, I will have to look for another manufacturer.I wrote to Orei's customer support with a detailed description, and, got a standard "you must put TV in PCM output mode... blah..blah" e-mail and when I wrote back saying that wasn't the issue, they never responded. While I don't expect them to do a gymnastic exercise of fixing a product that's around $26, I would at least expect them to read and understand the issue and respond that they'll look into it, rather than sending a form letter addressing an issue that I don't have. Clearly, the problem seems to be a design flaw.One star for the product doing what it is supposed to do when it works. Minus 4 stars for having to "reset" the device, the disengaged customer support and the design flaw. (Other people have commented that the unit seemed to suddenly stop working, and, I suspect it may be the problem I encountered.)

Works perfectly for connecting my smart tv to an integrated amplifier. Could not have been easier.

Works as expected,very clear sound from HDMI connection!

This item works great even though there is no volume control. It puts a constant signal from the ARC HDMI output on my tv to RCA into my amp. I plugged the power for it into a switched plug on my amp, so when I turn the amp on it converts the signal at the same time and the TV switches sound to my amp.

Compré este producto para conectar unas bocinas logitech z623 a mi televisión y funcionan muy bien, cuenta con entradas 2RCA y jack de audio 3.5mm y salida coaxial u óptica. Si buscas conectar tus bocinas con tu televisión u otro producto que cuenta con los conectores mencionados anteriormente este producto es recomendable ya que la calidad de audio es muy buena para su precio.

Well, it works. I must have bought 10 other models, and none ever worked, this one just works. I needed one with eARC support to go from my TV to my old Sansui stereo for my superb Kef 105.4 speakers. Made me cry not being able to use them. So, I finally bought a Sonos sound bar and said FI, I'll use the sound bar, and I hate sound bars.Next thing I know, I see this device with "eARC support". I'll try it out, you never know. 11th times a charm, works really good.Only downside is that you can't control the TV volume with the remote, I have to get up my fat a** and do it manually.All and all, great buy!!!
