Caution
(4 out of 5) by David J. Pines on Jul 24, 2009 (USA)Received this item as satisfactorily as possible, and promptly, but before installing it (for a neighbor's high def TV), I called the techs at Gefen to be certain it would operate properly for this application. Answer (from Gefen): no. No because high def channels broadcast audio in 5.1, which this converter is incapable of processing. In other words, it will work with a digital non-high def signal, but not with a channel broadcasting high def with 5.1 surround sound. The solution: Gefen model GTV-DD-2-AA, slightly more expensive, which processes any/all digital audio signals. Not having verified the accuracy of what the Gefen tech told me, at least I want to give buyers a "heads-up" about the product.

Can't tell it's there, what more can you ask for?
(5 out of 5) by W. Hohauser on Nov 18, 2008 (NYC)So far it's worked flawlessly. It's being used to convert optical audio from a HDTV set to an analog speaker system. I set it up, hid the box and that's it. Sound is excellent for this system.

As advertised
(5 out of 5) by Christopher Chandler on Apr 1, 2009 (Marblehead, MA USA)Very aggravating that the new flat screens aren't showing up with a analog audio left/right connector...
So we had to order this device to solve the Digital audio out into the Analog audio in of our Bose system...
The device showed up on time and worked as advertised.
Cheers

Does not work for over the air HD TV
(1 out of 5) by saknewcastle on Jul 26, 2009 (Tx)Unfortunately I found a review too late to save me from buying this device. It does not work with my HD Monitor/TV. I tried everything.
The other review started that "(this works) with a digital non-high def signal, but not with a channel broadcasting high def with 5.1 surround sound.
I live in Houston and all channels seem to be of that type. I looked at the description and there was no caution.
I looked elsewhere and that sell had it in big red letters.

Works as advertised
(5 out of 5) by C. Milliner on Aug 26, 2009Had to order this piece for my new apartment's Panasonic plasma TV which has no RCA outputs, but only a TOSLINK output, because I wanted to connect my Yamaha micro-component system to the TV. The converter works great, and I really can't tell any degradation of sound quality either. The unit measures about 2"x2"x1" and comes with its own A.C. adapter and cable (so no need to buy an optical cable like I did - already included!). My Would recommend.
