Review on ESynic Digital Converter Optical Coaxial by Darrell Beecher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Will not work with LG TV

I have a fairly new 37 inch LG TV with no headphone jack which I connected to the converter box. I have a noisy medical ventilator and wanted to use headphones to watch TV during treatment. With both wired and wireless headphones, I had nothing but a buzz with loud clicks. I contacted the seller who repeated the instructions that came with the device. I contacted LG and they told me there were no settings to change, the TV will automatically read the hardware and set it up correctly, it installed correctly, and either the device is defective or unable to read the hardware via the Toslink setup. . Revain refunded my money. LG has stated that they will only support soundbars, not converters. Corrected on November 7th: I have changed the original rating to 5 stars at the request of the seller so that they are not penalized for something that is likely related to an LG TV issue. For this device to work, you must manually change the audio output settings of the TV. LG says this isn't possible, the TV will automatically adjust to any Toslink-connected device, but LG also said it doesn't check or test any devices other than a soundbar or amplifier. with any other device. The seller was very good at fixing the issue and I can't blame them for the device not working on my TV. I got a credit from Revain which was returned to the seller so I'm happy.
