I definitely recommend connecting the coaxial to the Philips subwoofer. Once I did that, the sound just literally blew me away!

In the back all jacks are inputs, you have a HDMI for video and audio, but it is an input. You need and digital output for your soundbar. hope this help you.

I have my tv connected to the soundbar with the optical port, and it works for the tv and the cable box. The dvd player I have it connected with the regular red and white cables. Make sure you change the output, if you try with all outputs, then maybe is the optical cable that is bad, or maybe you don't have it connected all the way. Check the connections again. Soryy that is all I can thimk of, I am no expert, but it waorks for me.

I have mine connected to a Samsung HDTV and Samsung Blu-Ray player. It comes with a manual. Set-up was quick and easy. I cannot address your situation and suggest you call them directly @1-800-377-7655. They will be happy to help you. Tech support is wonderful.Merry Christmas,KFYSMAN

It connects with an optical cable. Any TV or AV receiver with an optical output can use the soundbar.

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.

It's all hard wires to this unit. Buy a set of sound bar. It works with the sound bar via optical cable.

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

Sorry for such a late response but this JBL sound bar has no HDMI connection. Only optical and the optical input is what failed. Don't buy this.

I plugged the included "adapter" into the back of my HDTV then plugged in the cables from the equipment to the adapter, and the BlueRay and cable TV work automatically when I turn on the sound bar/sub-woofer.I hope that helps. If you have a manual, it is pretty good. No manual? Google it and I bet you'll find it.

If you have the blue ray hooked up through an hdmi cable all sound should sound good through the sound bar, but you will probably get better sound quality going straight from DVD player to soundbar!

I just bought it an can't figure it out, other then to connect the blue ray to the tv, then the tv to the sound bar. I don;t know if this will defeat the soutnd of the blu ray. I may return it and go with the "wired" look.

No idea. At least, I never figured it out. The sound bar is about the worst conceived pieces of hardware I have encountered in a while. Avoid it.

Jim, i have this unit and hdmi is finicky so i couldn't get it to work. So no big loss. Instead, use fiber optic audio output of tv to feed optical input of soundbar and all will be good. Regards, Greg

I have my TV connected to the Soundbar via optical as well and it works fine. I had to buy the cable separately though. I would think that HDMI is all you need since the Soundbar acts as an HDMI hub.
