The back of my TV only has a single digital coaxial cable and I would like to hook it up to my receiver which has only RCA inputs. Is there anyway to convert a digital coaxial cable to two RCA's? |

No, one is digital, the other is analog. |

What about DAC converters? Digital music files converted to analog sig to the speakers.
I too would like to know if anyone has seen this because my buddy bought a TV where the only output is digital rca coax. No d-rca coax on the reciever and thus the problem, just like Eric. I feel your pain bro.
If there is such a device I would expect it to be relatively expensive.
Please help us! Thanks |

If your receiver doesn't have a digital input, buy a new receiver that does. I've seen them on sale for $100. The difference in audio quality between analog and digital is worth the money. You can't get 5.1 or DTS without a digital connection. |

Thanks for the help. He does have a digital input (toslink) and maybe we can go from d-rca coax to toslink. Just not sure if the receiver will do it (availibility issue), but I think it will. |

If the receiver only has TOSLink, you can buy a coax to TOSLink converter for a pretty reasonable price.
