Insignia LCD wit orange Digital Optical Coaxial; Sony HTCT260H Soundbar wit Optical slot. Can I get sound from tv to soundbar using this?

Yes, you can, this item is coaxial (orange) in, to optical (black/white) out.

Yes you can. This is an adapter to do just that. Hook up orange coax in one side and optical in the other. Then plug in to power. Works great!

The only way to connect this soundbar to anything is with the optical cable, so if your receiver has an optical connection, then yes. Otherwise, no.

Yes, but one quick note that might help you: I switched from and older receiver that had many inputs and outputs but no HDMI to a newer one with HDMI support. At first when setting up the sound bar I freaked out when I realized the newer receiver didn't have optical out but it didn't stop me; I ended up running the optical out from the TV to the sound bar. If you have to do this you might need to go into your receiver's settings and enable sound through the TV HDMI signal (it was disabled in mine).

This won't work. There is only one hdmi on the sound bar. Its actually a dumb design on Philips part. You also have the option of rca from the tv to the sound bar.

That'll work. What I did since I have multiple things connected to my tv (gaming system, satellite, blue ray player), I have all these things connected to my tv via HDMI cable with the tv connected to the soundbar via optical cable; I get to utilize the soundbar for all my connections this way.

The sound bar is strictly analog, that is, it has no digital (Toslink) connector. If your TV has an analog output for headphones you can connect the sound bar that way, otherwise you have to use a digital-to-analog audio converter.

I'm gonna say no. Just plug everything into your TV then use an optical cable to connect the tv to the soundbar. All sounds should play though the soundbar.

I have a similar tv - an LG - and it works. If you can change the digital audio out setting on the tv to PCM format the sound bar can get the job done.

Dear James, Thanks for your inquiry. If you are going to use the headphone jack, you're going to probably come close to maxing the volume in the television itself so more signal gets into the soundbar. Does your TV have an optical audio output? That would be a better option.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

There is only a digital optic port, no HDMI port. You would have to see if your TV are receiver, has a digital optic port and direct connect it to the sound bar

I had the same issue. use an Analog output audio cord or the Co-axial audio output cord to connect the Soundbar directly to your tv. I ended up just plugging the Optical connection from the Soundbar into my Blu Ray player. I used an Analog output audio cord that I had laying around in my house to connect the soundbar to my TV. If you don't have an analog or co-axial cord, be sure to buy one because this soundbar doesn't provide either for you.

I used a Digital Audio cable (optical)in the back of the tv to the sound bar. Works just fine.

If your receiver can be connected to your TV via HDMI, and you set the receiver to output the audio to the TV, you could in theory run it like this and the sound would be output by the soundbar (when the soundbar is connected to the TV directly)

I have an LG and was unable to connect this sound bar to my TV and have it function with the cable. It's all in what you have for inputs. You need analog or coaxial inputs, kind of old school, I think. It has no hdmi or other outputs except the traditional red, black and yellow plugs. My system was already using these for my cable and after consulting with their customer service I was told it wouldn't function with my T.V.

you're not looking for what your tv can input, you want the output for the TV. In case your TV still doesn't have an optical output then the sound bar has the analog inputs on the back. If you don't have an optical output (there should be a small, square hole with a red glowing light that shows that it is an optical out) then your set is outdated or a very cheap TV. If you don't have the optical out then the sound bar would not be beneficial since the analog input does not use the sub-woofer. Here is the manual to see what can go where. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/ephox/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/Home/SP-BS23W_Owners_Manual_English_Nov_14_2013.pdf

I just have the sound coming from the TV's coaxial to the soundbar. It plays the sound from what is being shown on the TV.
