I have a Samsung 8700 tv with only an optical audio output jack. Can I use this to connect to an analog speaker to beef up the sound when I don't want to run it thru my bose Lifestyle system?

I'm not familiar with the Bose Lifestyle System and how it would interface with another speaker, but this FiiO will convert the optical signal from your TV, allowing an analog speaker or other analog audio hookup.

yes, I use this to connect to my Bose system which is connected to the TV....

There is NO analog audio out on this monitor. It does, however, have a DIGITAL audio out (coaxial). There MAY be a way to take this and convert it to stereo line out. You can find such a unit at http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Coaxial-Toslink-Converter/dp/B007S6U7I4 . Just use a digital audio coaxial cable to go from the digital out from this monitor, and hook it up to the input of this box, attach a DC power supply, and hook the outputs to a line input on an amplifier. Today's PC speakers take line level signals. With some adapters, you can connect the output of this box to the input of PC speakers. This would probably get around HDMI related woes. With HDMI, video and audio are routed TOGETHER. This can be a mess if you want to route your sound to good speakers or even a good stereo system. By the way, the Emerson monitor that I have is another one that I bought previously. When I ordered another one, there was only one left, and it got damaged. I was given another brand and model for the same price. From John Nozum

Yes, the optical digital input has to be connected to a digital source. TVs nowadays all have these outputs. Some older TVs also have them as well. You can use the analog stereo mini Jack to connect to computers through the headphone / speaker line out.

You need a digital to analog converter. I use this one - Portta PETDTAP Digital Coax and Optical Toslink to Analog Audio Converter

You can only hook-up a optical connection to a amplifier with such input. Or you can buy a soundbar, but not directly to speakers. any more questions you can reach me a Central TV Inc. >> 330-395-4935 >> gncalugar@gmail.com I hope this info helps, George

Sorry for not answering sooner. My TV has coaxial OUT and my sound system has digital IN. It won't work in your case. The reason I use this one is that TV has terrible sound and I get OTA programming; so I use my home theater to listen to the TVs sound.

You need an amp. I doubt that your TV has a powered output capable of driving the Bose.

Can't see why not. Would just need covert the raw wire from the speaker to the tv audio out output point.....which is proberly an RCA output....an electonic store would have a converter.

Could you use the AV Cables that are in the back to hook it up to a portable sound dock? I just purchased one of these off ebay and was either going to get a Red/White Audio spitter to a 3.5mm Coaxial that way I can run it through my portable Bose Sound Dock to enhance the sound (http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Stereo-3-5mm-AUD-1200-25/dp/B0016LTZFI/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514406&sr=1-11) or if that audio channel is dedicated to the Svideo Input, You could buy a Digital to analog converter (http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Audio-Analog-Converter/dp/B0013LWK3A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514478&sr=1-1) and then use a Toslink cable from the MM72 to the Converter and then the RCA cables to whatever you choose. lol Sorry its what I am going to do.

I used it to attach my Bose desktop speakers to my TV using the audio outputs since TV doesn't have a headphone plug. The only problem is the audio outputs have no volume control so I have control the volume via the speakers.

Yes you can, I have this sub and I am very happy with it...I don't know what type of TV you have, but this would be perfect for a surround sound system...You would need an amp that has surround sound features, with a sub out, this speaker would connect to the sub output...

The optical out MUST be connected to a DAC as it is a digital output. This allows you to use a higher quality DAC to convert the signal to analog, so yes, there is the potential that using the optical digital output can produce higher quality sound, but only if the signal is passed to a DAC that is higher quality than the one built into the unit. The analog outputs of the device are very warm and bass heavy.

Technically, yes, this DAC could be used between your TV's digital output and your amp, providing your TV has a digital audio output. If it's only offering analog (RCA cables) then the audio has already been converted.

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.

According to the specs on line http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN32EH5000FXZA-specs , the TV has both Audio Out Mini Jack and Digital Audio (Optical). Some Bose speakers connect via USB, also available

Hi Michelle, Connecting speakers will depend on the type of speakers and connection. The TV has an Audio Out RCA connection, Optical Digital Output, and HDMI. -Vincent
