Optical connector converters

I need to convert from optical to HDMI for an older TV (only 4 years!)

    Btw, the sort of switch @Airgetlam suggested would have the advantage of potentially preserving surround sound, but the RCA would give only stereo.

      is there any audio lag from the Flexson 3 Input switch? I have a projector set up with no optical cable. I have a computer, Roku Ultra and an OTA converter box all with HDMI outputs. Looks like the Flexson solves this issue.

      I don't have one, so I am not 100% sure, but I'm fairly confident in saying that the switch wouldn't introduce any noticeable lag. And the nice thing is that once you're using optical input to the Playbase/Playbar, you've gotten rid of the 70ms lag associated with the line-in on the Connect and Play:5. There's a host of other information around that 70ms if you're interested, but I won't bore you and others right now.

      Flexson unit looks right. All the 70ms chat is way over my head, but thanks
