Review: Works flawlessly and no fuss! - Like many people who outfitted their entertainment systems with nice audio systems years ago, I'm between a rock and a hard place as a growing number of companies are no longer including standard RCA analog outputs on their equipment. Specifically, I purchased a Sony Blu-Ray/DVD player and it will output only HDMI or digital coaxial sound. That means for me that I can play it through my modern tv speakers only, but not through my twenty year old gorgeous sounding audio system which I love! Enter this nifty little converter, which was easy to use with only one difficulty, which was quickly resolved. First I hooked it up in the most obvious way possible. (In case anyone wants the obvious details: Plug one end of a digital coaxial cable into your Blu-Ray/DVD player and the other end into this converter box. Then plug a pair of red-and-white RCA cables into the converter and the other end into stereo receiver's input. Then plug the converter into a/c power outlet.) First result? Noise. So I looked at the box and noticed a red sticker that said "Important notice! please set the digital output of the audio source to PCM, otherwise there will be noise." I did that, and it worked like a charm. I had thought that since my device was set to "auto" it would automatically pick the right format, but it did not. The red sticker also warns you that the product doesn't decode dolby digital or DTS audio stream. So I guess if you have either of those, don't buy this! For me it worked great. If you do buy it, make sure you have a digital cable (coaxial or SPDIF optical) and a pair of red-and-white RCA cables. Neither are included. PROS Works great to hook up modern digital sound devices (Blu-Ray/DVD players for example) to an older audio receiver and speakers. Can also be used to hook up a device with digital sound output (ie. a DVD/Blu-Ray player) to stereo headphones via a simple headphone jack. Simple to use and good sound quality Directions minimal but essential info included via a red sticker on the box. Read the red sticker! CONS Doesn't work for dolby digital or DTS audio stream. Cables not included---buy your own first!
Review: It works! Enables you to use the a full, "real" sound system instead of wimpy TV speakers. - It works! We recently bought a Samsung Blu-Ray player as a gift for my son-in-law and his sweetie. Their flat screen had so-so built-in speakers and their old skool receiver had no HDMI inputs, just stereo RCA analog audio inputs. I purchased this unit and ALSO purchased this cable C2G / Cables To Go 29115 Velocity S/PDIF Digital Audio Coax Cable (6 Feet) . When we hooked it up it immediately worked. Audio content from movies sounds good, clear. Sound is in sync with the picture. Now their setup has some real bass and oomph. This will be a solution for them until they can afford a modern 7.1 surround receiver/speaker setup. Note: We went into the Blu-Ray player's audio settings and confirmed that PCM was set as the default. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CAVEATS, TECHNICAL ADVICE: Caveat 1: This only produces stereo output (Left and Right analog audio jacks). In the setting of your Blu-Ray player: You ** have ** to use PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) output setting if you want this to work right -- it specifies that right on the box. Now, some people may have an older receiver that would have a feature to synthesize surround for a 5.1 system but usually, if you have that feature available to you, then one would "tend to" also have HDMI inputs on their receiver. If you have HDMI inputs on your audio receiver... why bother? This is a work around for those who don't. IF your receiver has HDMI inputs, the high likelihood is that you don't need this. IF your receiver has HDMI inputs and you aren't getting audio output 1. Check your settings and the sequence in which you turn components on (I find that turning on my plasma TV before turning on my receiver works better). 2. You might need to find an HDMI cable that specifies it has "audio return". All that being said, if you need this kind of workaround solution to deliver an analog feed an older sound system, then ---> running your Blu-Ray player's sound output through a decent stereo's analog inputs using this interface conversion box beats the pants off using the the wimpy speakers in most TVs. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Caveat 2: OREI DOES ** NOT ** GIVE YOU A NON-OPTICAL (i.e. copper wire) CABLE ...which I believe will be the solution most people actually want. YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE ONE SEPARATELY. I strongly recommend buying a specifically "Digital" cable, labeled as being meant for SPDIF (Sony/Panasonic Digital Interface) like in the link I mentioned above - they run 5 - 10 dollars. If you try using a conventional RCA analog audio cable the digital signal may corrupt or the sound could stutter, especially over longer cable lengths. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Caveat 3: I suppose there may be some Blu-Ray players out there that, for cost cutting purposes, have omitted the SPDIF connector that looks like a single RCA jack. In which case this product would not be a solution you could use. Final note: This unit also comes with an optical connector interface and a probably 3 ft optical cable. I did not use that feature or test it so cannot speak to how well it works. You * could * run the blu-ray player's HDMI cable to your flat screen and then, IF it had an optical out, use the supplied optical cable to this OREI box and then run RCA analog cables to your stereo. The big unknown is: Will the audio output "lag" or stay in sync with your TV? Sometimes you can set video / sound delay in your TV. You'd just have to test. Again, if your receiver has HDMI built in, there is usually no need to use this kind of product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ works S/PDIF to RCA Analog Stereo
*by S***E on July 12, 2026*

Worked Out of the Box. No elaborate Instructions. My TV does not have a Audio output Or Headphone. This Optical to wired Audio convertor allows me to send line level audio to My Amplifier and Provides a 1/8 inch port to plug in Headphones. This TV is an LG 55" AU7050 Great TV with limits on audio outputs. I was optimistic that this device would allow me to take advantage of Optical out with TV speakers at the same time but the optical is delayed enough to cause and echo between the TV speakers and the optical fed amplifier . The price was acceptable and I would recommend this device for converting Optical to Analog audio feed for large amp and speakers. Audio is very good. No glitches or noise have occured.
