HDMI ARC to RCA Audio Converter Support CEC, 192KHz HDMI ARC Adapter with 3.5mm Audio and L R Stereo Audio for HDTV Soundbar Speaker Amplifier

Product works great. ARC works with HDMI-CEC on my Sony TV with android TV. Recognized the device right away and I’m able to change the volume using my TV remote. My Sony has a 900mA USB port and it worked fine on that without the included power brick. That said, my TV actually would recognize the device as a USB headphone amplifier. This was awesome as it meant I didn’t even need to connect the HDMI cable for ARC. Unfortunately, I found out that Netflix/Android TV does not allow the use of headphones while trying to watch Netflix shows. YouTube worked just fine but the moment I had this device plugged in Netflix refused to play any videos. Not a fault of this device. I assume it has something to do with piracy protection but regardless I reported it to Sony in case it’s a bug. All around useful product. Does what it said. Sturdy metal case.

It took a while to find this solution. I just wanted a way to connect my TV to external speakers, and still just use one remote control (the one for the TV). The TV has an optical audio out port, and an HDMI ARC port. The optical audio will not allow you to control volume with the TV remote, so that was out. The HDMI ARC port allows you to do this if you have CEC turned on in your TV settings. The piece I was missing was this converter (HDMI to RCA). The other converters advertised either did not address the volume issue, or they specifically indicated that it was not possible. This one confirmed it would work, and it does work as advertised. Very pleased.

If you need this sort of device, this is the only product I’ve found on Amazon that fits the bill. Others I’ve tried have weird audio compression issues that ruins the quality, especially on high quality studio monitor speakers. I would give 5 stars if the audio channels weren’t reversed. No idea about the 3.5mm audio, I haven’t tried that connector, but the right and left RCA connectors are reversed. It’s easy to work around though and other than this issue it works well, I don’t notice any difference from my phone output to these speakers. I did initially try to use the TV’s USB port for power and it does not work, presumably it needs more power than the tv can deliver, or it gets confused by being connected to a computer instead of a dumb wall wart. It works fine with my 12w Apple usb power supply, I didn’t try the included transformer because I don’t trust no name brands from China to use quality designs with high voltage.

It is an easy solution. I didn't have any trouble connecting everything to my Samsung Smart TV. When it worked it worked very well. But I should have returned it when I could. Now I can't. I would often have to unplug the power and plug it in again to get it to work. Most of the time when I selected it on the TV it would show that it was active but I couldn't change the volume or mute it and I had to power it off and back on. Sometimes it was active when I turned on the TV. If it was selected it should always work when I turn on the TV. When the TV is turned off it doesn't default back to the TV speakers in the TV settings. Today it quit working altogether and I've tried everything I know to get it to work. I guess it's dead. I gave it 2 stars solely for the fact that the sound quality was good. But the reliability of mine was bad.

Bought to use with 2022 model year X85K SONY television without analog audio outputs. Hooked up to an amplifier and analog bookshelf speakers. Works okay BUT at certain frequencies, it gets overwhelmed and clips the audio, causing a split-second but noticeable and unpleasant high frequency noise. Not good if you are listening to music from your smart TV to your speakers. Volume control using TV remote goes in 3 step increments, instead of 1. I will be trying a different brand since it is outside of return window.

Allows the use of your analog stereo system to provide sound for your TV. You must use your HDMI-ARC-CEC port. The reason to get this product is that the remote volume control for your TV will control the volume of the stereo. This product does what it says.

This thing works! Make sure you use the included power supply or comparable 1.0A+(1000ma+) output PSU; using my TV's USB port (only 500ma) extractor would not link. Red LED indicates unit receiving power and blue light indicates Arc connection; both need to be lit. I don't use any external devices only the apps on the smart TV and have no problems with audio out from the extractor. Device is perfect if you want to use TV remote to control volume. My extractor inputs into a cheap tube preamp then to powered monitors and sounds great.

It works, but the output is way too hot and distorted. Also, the left and right outputs are switched. I'll likely return this and look for a better one.

Plug & play with my 2023 Samsung Qled tv if plugged in the USB 1A port of the tv. This way, you don't need the provided 5V /1A power supply neither a HDMI cable! The sound may be a little bit weaker maybe because the data (sound) comes from the USB instead of the HDMI ARC port. You also have a level from 1 to 100 on the screen with the usb method. This is not the case with the HDMI ARC. HOWEVER, the down side of using USB mehod for the data transfer is a "spark" sound in the loudspeakers when you power on/off the tv.

It does not work with Sony Bravia TV. Only get sound from USB mem stick but no sound from off air tv or external hdmi sources.

Ça s’installe bien et facile d’utilisation

Bought this for my X90k since it doesn't have any variable audio out. Very important that you not only turn on eARC and CEC in your Sony TV's settings, but also force PCM mode only! Otherwise the TV will say "yes I see an eARC device" but no sound will come out of it. The setting defaults to Auto1, there is also Auto2, and the third setting is PCM-only - this is what is required to get it to work!

Stopped working after two days for no reason. perfect in the beginning but, unfortunately it stopped working Tried all settings on my Samsung TV
