Does this have a digital audio input? Is an A/V receiver Amp required?

There is one digital input available along with three HDMI connections. You do not need a separate amplifier if you are only using the sound bar to play music. The sound bar also has blue tooth connectivity for streaming audio from a blue tooth device.

It has a digital audio input. I does not require a separate amp. It has a built in amp

Hi Larry, this is a Sony Sound Bar system in which it doesn't require you to connect it on an amp. Available connection method is via HDMI, digital coaxial in, digital optical in and analog in. -Ely

No A/V required. It has an optical audio input if that's what ya mean. This sound bar is awesome. I love it. Never thought I would, but truely amazing.

Yes it does. No A/V receiver Amp is required. That is the whole idea of this.

this sound bar does not require a AV amp or receiver. it has 3 HDMI input ports, ( I input apple TV, DirecTV, and a Blu-Ray DVD player.) There is also a seperate input port to attach a YDS-12 Yamaha iPod/iPhone cradle attachment. A single HDMI output port from the sound bar connects directly to any of the flat screenTV HDMI input port. it also comes with a controllable sub woofer. all controls and switches are located on a singe remote control. so at the completion of my installation use two remotes. one for the DirecTV and one for the sound bar. And yes i would purchase it again, and no i have not gone back to the AV AMP/RECEIVER + external speakers it replaced. My 65 inch Sony flat scree is mount on the wall, my sound bar & blu-ray player are sitting on top of a credenza making for a very tidy living room. the sound bar is capable of some pretty good surround sound even for someone like me who is hearing impaired.

It has an optical input. As long as your amplifier has an optical output, that is the best way to go.

It does not have a audio input port. It has audio out, HTMI, USB I believe that is it

Your digital receiver is very common in that it needs to convert all audio, including analog audio, to digital. Unless your receiver has a way to turn off *all* digital processing then there is no way around it. Probably need to buy an analog only amp to avoid this double D/A conversion.

Yes, this has RCA analog line-in and USB digital in. There is Mark II version of this amp available which can support USB audio from Andriod.

This unit has built-in speakers, so no amplifier is required. It can use additional external speakers for improved sound, however.

Thanks very much for your question. The analog inputs are only 5.1. This is a fantastic sounding receiver.

It has a digital audio out (optical). You need to get an optical cord and connect it to your receiver. http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp;_id=10229Need a toslink to toslink cable

No but it has a digital audio output. This looks like a standard RCA jack, but are usually colored a kind of orange shade. You can get a digital audio output to analog converter for less than 50 bucks from several manufacturers. I have one from radio shack on my RCA TV and I can use my old analog stereo receiver and it sounds GREAT. The analog converter has the one input from the TV then the converter takes the digital signal and converts it to stereo then there are two outputs so you get great stereo sound. I haven't looked at this TV but I saw in the specs. that it has the optical digital audio out.

Nope. As dmdmba said: the DAC part of the amp plugs into your computer's or digital audio player's USB port to get its input, and puts out an analog signal.

this converts digital (optical) audio to analog as it says on the device. If your receiver takes RCA (analog) inputs it should work. I am using it on a TV with an optical out connected to an old pair of sony speakers with RCA inputs and it works fine.

No. It does not have analog inputs or outputs, only digital inputs, coax, opt, USB and speaker outputs.

I purchased this recently and can answer the audio output question - it is digital toslink only - there are a ton of digital to rca converters for $15 or so if this is a problem.

The 7030's D/A conversion is excellent. I hooked mine up to the analog inputs (&gt;100db A s/n) of my recycled old 6.0 a/v receiver with 3 ft KabelDirekt RCA/RCA, a big $12 via Prime. Works great! Save your digital inputs for BD, etc.

It does NOT have the old standard red and white RCA connectors for audio output. It does include a digital (optical style with the single square plug) audio output port.

No you just need an RCA cable that is able to hook up to an auxiliary out/input
