I have a Bose sound bar that has optical cord and a tv that has digital, will this adapter work

Depending you may not need it. Most optical outputs on TVs are normal size, and this is an adaptor that 'downsizes' the connection to a smaller plug if you need that. First get a normal optical cable with normal size connectors at both ends and try them in both your TV and your sound bar. If they fit great. If one or both the TV and the sound bar need a smaller connection then you will need one of these for connecting to each of the items that need the smaller connection. Hope that helps.

This adapter looks just like a mini headphone plug like you'd use on a cell phone. It is very rare to have any equipment using this "earphone plug" to TOSLINK adapter. So, no, it is not what you need.

I found it didn't work for my mac mini to my samsung lcd tv with the same way you want to connect your Bose to your tv.

This will take the sound from digital coax and digital toslink (optical) to the standard RCA (red/white) output. You will have to buy the cables to go with it (Optical cable and RCA cable) but yes it will work for you.

yes it does. I was able to connect my TV with Bose system using the optical audio output.

As long as your receiver has a digital optical out if not I'm sure your receiver has auxillary outs in which case the sound bar also has av in on it ( the red and white plugs)

It should. The inputs are on the back. I would recommend a digital optical cable. you can also use other connections as well. It's very versatile.

Nope. This is an optical (digital) audio cable. Your sound bar is an analog input.

There should be a port on the TV designed for the optical adapter. The port will be round, like a headphone jack, which is why you need the adapter. Check your TV's manual for information on the optical output connection.

You must convert the output signal from your TV audio, which is a digital signal over a coaxial cable type to an optical signal with a Toslink cable. The input into the sound bar will only receive an optical signal using the type of cable fitting dedicated for optical signals. I used this exact same converter on my TV and it worked perfectly. It's been installed for nearly a year and has performed flawlessly.

What 2 channel types do you have? I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.

I wouldn't recommend it. Check the impedance rating of the soundbar. If it's not 6 or 8 ohm, then it's not meant to take input signal from the amplifier. The soundbar is expecting digital sound signal from a TV. Not meant to be hooked up to speaker outputs from the amplifier.

You have to hook up an optical cable from the TV to the soundbar, then it will work when you put the soundbar in the optical mode

Good choice! Yes, your red and white outputs are standard and the devise will convert it to digital but if your sound bar didn't come with an optical cable, you will need one.

We are using it from the TV to soundbar. I would think it would if both have digital audio inputs.

It is my understanding that this device, and I have no reason to doubt it, will convert a digital signal to a 'conventional' signal which is needed for some of our older devices that do not accept 'digital' signal ... I would say this would work for you if your cable device emits 'digital' sound outputs and you want to hook up this to a sound bar etc., that does not accept a digital signal ... works great for me!

Hi James, Great question and great answers from these folks. Optical would be the likely way as the guys below mention. If you do not have optical in the TV (unlikely) then digital coax would work or you can go directly from the DVD/cable/satellite box with these audio cable to the soundbar. Contact AV-Express for further assistance.

This will work assuming you are using the RCA end as output from the TV. The 3.5 mm end would attach to the sound bar- but you may need a male-male 3.5 mm cable to connect sound bar input to the 3.5 mm female end of the RCA cable. Clear?

Yes, this converter will work for your soundbar, however the digital optical audio cable included is such poor quality that it may stop workig after a few week (as mine did). I bought a bluerigger cable on amazon and it works great.
