The LG37H20 television has ONLY a digital audio out that uses an optical coupling. I purcased a digital audio to RCA converter to feed to a stereo system. When I turn it on all I hear is a sputtering noise that repeats at about a 5hz rate. Bzz,bzz,bzz... Are there different types ot optical audio? How did this not work? Are there different audio out formats that use the same connector?The LG37H20 television has ONLY a digital audio out that uses an optical coupling.

If your TV has an optical out socket, then with an optical lead it should connect to the converter. The converter should have right (red) and Left (white) RCA phono sockets on. These should connect to the aux of your sound system.
If the converter has a yellow RCA phono socket you can ignore that as it is for video output.
PS you might have to switch on the Optical socket on the TV. If on you should see a light out of the end of the lead.
Suggest connecting via the headphones jack or if available the RCA audio output jacks. If you connect via the headphone jack you will need to adjust the TV volume to a lower setting to avoid distortion/./ The The problem is that the optical output connection is a digital connection and depending on the digital format the Digital to Analog converter may not be a configuration that the audio stream to the stereo required for the tv/vcr in.
How does the audio sound using the Samsung Smart TV internal speakers>
Also under menus/audio/settings you may need to change the Optical output to stereo.
Netflix also has settings that will change the audio stream.
You can run the sound to the home theater system in many cases. It depends on the home theater system and the TV. If the home theater system has a digital audio input, it is easy to connect most 4K TVs. Connect the 4K source to the HDMI or Displayport connector on the TV. Check whether the digital audio uses an optical cable or a coaxial cable. Make sure that the TV has the matching output and get the correct cable. Set the TV to use external speakers (under the Audio part of the setup on most TVs) and turn off the internal speakers.
I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the make and model of your home theater system if you need a more specific set of details about doing this.
Hi, the fisrt step is to connect a toslink cable from TV output to an amplifier with optical input, or if your amplifier has only analog audio inputs (RCA red and white connectors), you have to use an digital to analog converter device. After cables are connected, usually you must change which type of audio connection you will use in TV menu, in audio options.
Optical cable from DVR or DVD to receiver. TV to monitor out. Digital audio is only through optical hookup. Then hook your mic up and run the YPAO and set to auto to run the sound basic set up then when done, go back a fiddle with the manual set up and turn up speaker volume, set sound modes, etc
