The owners manual lists no such cable. I have a blu-ray hooked up with an HDMI to the TV. As far as watching TV, I'm afraid I am doomed to stereo only since the Sharp has several HDMI ports and the Yamaha has none. That of course leaves me with RCA cable hookup for sound.

My blu-ray is connected to the Sharp via HDMI and to the Yamaha via optical cable. Watching TV is OTA only with rca cables connected to the Yamaha to obtain sound. I of course do get TV in stereo but can not figure out a setup to enjoy surround.

The converter is not necessary. Just use the digital coax input of the receiver.

I've read his post, and I used my brain a little. He gives the model number of his AVR. It has digital coax inputs. Also, from the tone of his original post, it's pretty clear that he's not familiar with digital coax, so it's also incredibly likely that he's not even aware that his AVR can support digital coax.

"You guys" did read the opening post and a little more.
Did you look at the specs of the AVR? I didn't think so.
It has coax inputs. The converter is NOT needed.![]()
Any more misdirection?![]()
