Will this unit convert any optical signal other than PCM?

I am not sure, I did not know about the pcm setting until someone responded to my inquiry. It did work for standard tv audio but did not work for Netflix until I set my tv to pcm. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately I can give you no answer regarding this question. I am using the HDMI inputs/outputs. My unit has 4 HDMI in and 2 HDMI out. I do not recall my unit having optical outputs.

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

I know of no reason why not - once the Data Stream has been converted from Digital [HDMI] with the Video and Audio information separated to Analog Composite [aka RCA], the receiving equipment will not know the difference between this converted signal and any other [normally] generated RCA information.

No, you will need a product that converts coaxial output to optical input, C2G / Cables to Go 40018 Coaxial to Optical Digital Audio Converter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J2MV4/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk)

Yes. This unit has coax (F-connector) digital audio in and converts it to optical cable digital audio out. My unit works perfectly.

I do not know. If a standard fiber optical is acceptable, then it should work.

You need a digital to analog converter. I use this one - Portta PETDTAP Digital Coax and Optical Toslink to Analog Audio Converter

Yes, it depends on the source. If the source can read the format and send the digital via optical, the D/A converter will work.

Yes. Make sure your receiver or TV is capable of it. I am using Pioneer Elite VSX-70 receiver and it is decoding DTS 7.1 and Dolby TrueHD. If you think your TV or receiver does not support these signal, you can downstream it to PCM (uncompressed) on audio settings.

Sorry to say no. This device has only analog inputs. It will not interprete the digital signal.

I don't know for sure. I would highly recommend using the SPDIF (coax) rather than the optical, though for better sound.

No. This adapts certain (often Apple) jacks that combine optical and analog in the same jack. This device works for its purpose, but it is a mechanical adapter only.

there is nothing about PCM audio, in the DTV manual. the receiver does output a digital audio output using an rca type connectoras well as a true optical digital output.

I am not familiar with your particular setup. This adapter converts TOS-link optical to digital coax, but not the other way around. It won't convert digital coax to TOS-link. They have another model that does that. BTW, mine is still going great after a year.

DA21 only support PCM audio input. Will not work with Dolby audio signal. Most of movies and blurays use dobly audio and not PCM.
