"bedroom" theater setup, does it work?

fabiotastic · Mar 30, 2015

Hey,

First of all, English is not my native language but ill try as best as i can.

Next week i want a theater setup in my bedroom for watching films using my chromecast but i got a few issues.
Does someone know if streaming netflix to chromecast outputs a surround sound audio?
If so my television has only a rca (red/white) audio out, so i cant plug my chromecast directly in my tv.
I have found this device: http:/ /www . ebay. com/itm/HDMI-to-HDMI-Optical-SPDIF-RCA-L-R-Audio-Extractor-Converter-Audio-Splitter-/191461513595 (remove spaces)
So if i put the chromecast into that and then a s/pdif into my reciever, will it work?
My reciever is a JVC RX 7032V 7.1, but only 5.1 speakers attatched.
It says "Home theater receiver with Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES and Pro Logic II"
But im not sure which format is put out by the chromecast and / or the extractor.
Does it work?

Thanks

Is this device HDCP compliant? I can't see anything in the ebay ad mentioning it.

What does HDCP really mean? I know it has something to do with copy protection. Doesn't the link work or does the advert give not enough info?

I'm confused...why don't you just connect the Chromecast to your receiver?? Am I missing something here?

It's an audio receiver so how would i connect a chromecast to it?

Ahhh...I understand your issue now. Sorry, I got no solution....unless you want to buy a new AVR.

Ah okay, but my question is if my idea works, using the audio extractor to get 5.1 signal to my receiver. I hope so because i think its my only solution.

The item description reads 2 CH PCM stereo can be converted. So I would guess no.

Item discription of what? If it is the extractor i would say that it is able to extract 5.1 audio, if i can believe the image.
