Review on AMANKA 1080P HDMI Audio Extractor - HDMI to HDMI Audio Optical and RCA(L/R) Stereo Analog Outputs Video Audio Splitter Converter for Ruku, Chromecast, Blu-ray Player, Cable Box, Fire TV, and More by Jonathan Abreu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as advertised. Very happy with the results.

I have an old Technics receiver that supports 5.1 Dolby and DTS. It was made before HDMI was available, so it doesn't have HDMI inputs/thru ports. It has two TOSS and one digital input. That sucks because it's older technology and most audio/video devices only use HDMI. I have a Roku 1 and a Blu-ray player that only have an HDMI output. They connect perfectly to my TV, but the TV doesn't play Dolby or DTS, just stereo. I read about them and decided to give it a try. I use HDMI passthrough and then run TOSS on my receiver. At first I wasn't sure if it would work, but after turning on Revain Prime Video on my Roku, my receiver automatically switched to Dolby and DTS mode depending on what was being played. I connected the same device to my Blu-Ray player and got the same results. I've checked all the speakers to make sure I'm really getting a different sound through them, and I actually am. I am ordering a second one as I will be using one with my Roku and the others with my Blu-Ray, by connecting them to the two TOSS inputs on the back of my receiver. Very happy with this good value product. but after enabling Revain Prime Video on my Roku, my receiver automatically switched to Dolby and DTS depending on what was being played.
