Can you connect Beolabs to a LED TV using the Digital Audio Out?

The sound from my Panasonic DT50 TV is of course terrible and I was thinking of connecting Beoabs by way of a digital analog convertor to the Digital Audio Out on the TV and using Cinch Cables.

Can anyone tell me if this will work ok?

 

Thanks in advance

I know about the adapter, just never heard of one with a trigger signal - do you by chance know the manufacturer?

Some BeoLabs do work without the trigger - they trigger on the sound signal.

I guess the digital audio from your Pana is NOT volume controlled. Using only the convertor will result in extreme loud volumes...

That's another problem - didn't think of that in the first place.

Hi Nick

What speakers do you intend to use? The new BeoLab 17's & 18's have an optical and phono input for direct connection from a source such as a TV.
