Connect two RCA audio outputs (L and R speaker outputs) from TV to a digital optical input on speakers?
-
TV has two RCA analog speaker outputs. Powered speakers have optical, coaxial and one set of 5.1 surround sound analog (front, back, subwoofer) audio inputs for a total of 3 inputs. Already using coaxial input for DVD player and 5.1 surround sound inputs for computer sound card. Would like to hook TV up to powered speakers using the remaining optical input. Can it be done?

Answer:
They should sell a stereo to coax or optical conveter. Don't know how easy they are to find or how cheap they are. Something like this will do http://www.trianglecables.com/adv-2000.html It is going on eBay for a lot less, $7 right now with a $30 buy it now option. http://cgi.ebay.com/Stereo-Analog-2-Digital-Coaxial-Optical-Audio-Converter_W0QQitemZ9722555106QQcategoryZ294QQcmdZViewItem

You could try the connection via the computer (if it has the inputs). The computer is already connected to the speakers and should be able to do the video switching on the analog connection.

As far as I know this will not work. Optical is a digital technology using "Light" rather than current. I would think a converter box of any sort would be expensive. I really dont think your TV would take advantage of a Optical port anyway. Most shows are not surround sound.
