Thanks for the feedback. Will give it a shot this weekend.

Can't figure this one out. I provide a list and links of my components at the end, but basically I have a 1st gen Fire TV Cube whose HDMI output is connected to a device that takes the HDMI in and outputs HDMI + SPDIF. The SPDIF output goes into the optical input of this really old Sony Home...

I have an old Optoma HD70 projector. Here is a picture of the rear panel: I also have an old Sony 5.1 home theater system (last time i posted about this system, a bunch of people laughed - yeah it's old but it works fine for what I need). Here is a picture of the rear panel: So I bought a...

DrG, i did resolve it. I connected the mini end of one of these to my HDMI A/V signal splitter and the other end to digital optical input on my receiver and it worked. the part i still don't get is that i can also connect a pair of earbuds to the same mini jack on the signal splitter and...
