Cons: Did not give me Super Powers
(5 out of 5) by J. Kimberlin on Oct 8, 2008 (Milwaukee, WI)I used this to hook up my computer speakers to my 40-in Sony Bravia TV, which only had RCA output audio jacks for an external audio source.
Solution: Buy this handy-dandy converter, and I was able to instantly use my computer speakers. Of course, I wouldn't recommend using CHEAP computer speakers, as in, computer speakers that use the power from the computer to power them. That would probably break your TV. Mine were a bit nicer, and had a small subwoofer and had to have it's own power source (ie. a Power cable)
The only problem is that this TV is unlike my old one, which had the capability to have computer speakers hook directly into one of the 'audio outputs' on the back of the TV, so I could control the volume using the TV remote. On this TV (and many others, I assume), by using this converter, my TV thinks that the audio is a separate device with it's own remote.
Downside: I have to get up every time I want to turn up/down the TV. Eh, it's not that bad, considering I play movies/tv shows using my Phillips DivX dvd player. And for those that don't know what DivX is you had better get a word-a-day calendar or something because it is well worth the money.

Allows a headphone from a tv
(5 out of 5) by Matt on Mar 25, 2009 (Michigan)This is a great adapter as it allows me to use regular "Walkman" headphones to listen to a television. I use an extension cord between this adapter and my headphones to listen to tv while on my treadmill. Perfect.

Works fine, solved my problem
(5 out of 5) by P. Jacobs on Jun 14, 2009 (Stone Mountain Village, GA United States)I have a flat screen TV, but don't want to run home theater cables all over. I have a great computer speaker system (2.1) but the cable didn't have a matching output on my TV. This conversion cable did the trick. I especially like that it is short, as the existing cable was long, and the whole idea is to minimize cables. No brainer here: Less than $10 so I don't have to buy a new sound system.
