Can anyone say if this will work with the Panasonic Viera TVs, which only output 5.1 via optical connection?

If your tv has the side RCA pug ins like most tv's you can get it to work. I own one of these sound bars if I had it to do over I would spend a little more and get a better sound bar.

It will work. I have my connected through optical cable box connection and works great.

No idea. But there are better products out there. I'd say to avoid this sound bar.

Yes, you will need to turn on the Viera link on and set the output to external speaker. Also check to see if your TVs main HDMI supports ARC. If it does you only need a HDMI cable. If not you will need to use an optical digital audio cable and HDMI to do what you want to.

I just did that very thing. My Samsung Home Theater is also HDMI 1.4 ready so I hooked it up with just the main output from the Panasonic and everything worked just fine, but I keep reading that it's still better to use two cables with the video turned off the (Sub) output. My TV is a LG 3D LED Smarty but it has only one HDMIARC input so I naturally I put the main Panasonics output there. I put the out put from my A/V machine to the HDMI2 hole. That should do it. I haven't tried it yet. I have a brand new copy of "Johnny Depp's Alice in wonderland". I'll let you know how it works.

You should be able to, I'm acheiving 5.1 on an LG 55" LED TV using the optical port.

Related answer from a reviewer "on PS3 the only outputs that are 5.1 are HDMI and Optical, which neither are supported on this product. The *best* you'll be able to do is 2.1 with the MultiAV out."

YES !!! I had a Panasonic Viera 1080p 2D ONLY and this was the main reason I did purchase the AdapSonic Converter (to see 3D in a TV beafore decided to buy one). You need a Player (bluray) that play 3D (need a 1.4 HDMI Cable). If TV is 2D only will play SBS and HOU formats only and convert regular 2D (like TV programs) but will never be like a real 3D sbs... Remember in the 3D world this one is the oldes system so will not be as colorful like in the movies or a real 3D TV but if you are in a budget an will like something to start I did recomended it push me to buy my new Passive 3D 65" LD TV. PS: if you have a 3D TV you do NOT need this Converter, IF you do NOT have a 3D TV then it is for you. YES !!!

Thank you very much for your response. I finally got through and according to Panasonic, the converter and an HDMI cable are sufficient to complete the connection. Best wishes. CarrieM

I do hook this amp up to my Panasonic Viera led tv. There is an optical digital cable that makes the connection for me. It depends on if your tv has this or not.

The unit will work with any television equipped with the some type of inputs as the blu-ray outputs. If there is a lack of a specific connection then a converter must be placed between the units. Not knowing your make/model there is not any way to comment further.

Please check if your TV is model of 2012 or 2011...Starting from 2012 Panasonic TV models have Bluetooth not InfraRed communication signal, so you can use only 3D glasses, wich support Bluetooth.I will recommend you to use Quantum G5 Universal 3D glasses, they can work with both IR and Bluetooth systems

I think the model is a Euro designation, but there is no reason a recent tv won't work. Just remember, if you have any problems at first, you have to go to the Panasonic site, and update the firmware as I described in previously answered question.

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.

I have an Onkyo TXSR 601 which has optic 5.1 not HDMI. Wouldn't this be the way to go as far as connecting audio over the RCA 5.1 jacks? I have hooked up the video through the HDMI to the TV directly, I wish the TV Panasonic 9th gen 50" plasma would transfer the digital audio through optic out but it does not.

I can not say with certainty, since I don't have a Panasonic. However, I feel 95% certain it would work. There is a code for Panasonic TV's in the code sheet.

Huntington Thomas Daly, The output will support 5.1 with only the digital TV tuner. For 5.1 audio, you'll want to connect a digital optical audio cable to the source box (Cable/Satellite box, game console, etc) and run that directly to the audio bar. Many audio bars (at least the bar+sub combo) support 2.1, and that would be supported with all devices from the TV. Your DTV tuner will be converted from 5.1 to stereo in that case. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I have Panasonic VIERA TY-ER3D4MU Active Shutter 3D Eyewear and they work as expected with this TV. I tried a friend's Samsung active glasses and they seemed to pair, but they were not well syncronized.

I have been using it with Panasonic viera 65" VT50 series 3D TV without any problem.
