I stream my PC to a Roku (wired CAT5 &amp; wireless).HDMI to TV to Analog amp for sound (RCA cables). No HDMI on amp. Will this work?

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.

I don't know how the Roku Streaming Stick attaches to the TV. What kind of input does it require? We have an original Roku hooked up to this TV with an HDMI cable, so if the stick attaches through the same kind of input, then I would say yes.

I plugged in a Roku streaming stick and it works if that helps. Sound on device is okay for quiet situations. I have mine on a home theater system.

We have Roku on ours and we have an HD cable hooked up from Roku to tv and we have the source on HDMI1. Sorry, other than that, I can't help you.

No external HDMI input from any other device but you can use the optical input which will automatically use the 5.1 feature. Does Roku have optical out? http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/HTS3564_F7/5.1-home-theater/specifications

The Roku needs to be connected directly to your TV. If you have only one HDMI input on your TV, you can use a splitter.

yes I got this device for that exact reason you need an optical cable and then just a pair of RCA and you are set. remember to take the caps off the optical cable before putting in the optical input on the boxes. look for digital optical cable on amazon. I got mine for about $5. good luck. works perfectly.

I bought it to use with a Roku streamer connected to a 10 year old TV projector in my theater that did not have an HDMI input, but first tried it on another tv that was connected to an Apple TV. It worked for both, and equally important, it did not affect the ability of either to stream subtitles for Netflix movies.

This unit has 2 outputs on the back. An HDMI, and a digital audio output (orange color RCA type plug). Most amplifiers that this would connect to probably are equipped with surround sound. Although I haven't tried it, you may be able to connect this device to a HDMI to RCA converter, then connect it to a regular amplifier. Do an Amazon search for "HDMI to RCA converter". Here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity%C2%AE-Composite-Video-Audio-Converter/dp/B008FO7PQA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1379384146&sr;=8-1&keywords;=hdmi+to+rca+converter

If your TV has RCA audio and video inputs (red, white and yellow), yes. But if your TV only has a coax input, Roku won't work.

It requires a specific type of port on your tv. Not an hdmi port!. I have an insignia tv, the box recommended this streaming stick specifically. I use the tv remote with, works great- I love it! But if you are not sure if you tv has this port- I would go with the roku box.

You don't say how you are trying to use the cable. PC to TV? If that is the case, check the sound settings on your PC. You might need to change sound settings from default to external, or possiblly HDMI, depending on type of PC, sound card, etc.

If all you need to do it put audio through your receiver, this device will work for you. My receiver doesn't have HDMI either, so I just feed the audio using TOSLINK to it and the HDMI out to my TV. Works fine.

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!

This ROKU model only has HDMI out. If your SONY has only RCA in, you will need to get a different model. Re check at www.roku.com for model specs. Hope this helps!

What you need is a component to hdmi converter. It has a power supply and actively converts the signal. This is analog cable for devices that put out analog over hdmi. For what it is worth, I had an old xbox 360 and it ran 1080p over component to HDTV. I assume you are out of component ports?

If your TV is receiving a video input from a video source like the Internet via an Ethernet /WiFi connection then the audio output would only be available on it's headphone socket or via a dedicated analog RCA stereo output or Digital optical or SPDIF output connection. It would not be available on other HDMI sockets which are usually all input connections on the TV. The linear analog or digital audio will have to go to the Yamaha AV inputs or audio input connections. It's mentioned in the manual . Look for the user manual on the Net.
