if you are not already using the hdmi slot on the roku to connect to your tv it should work !!! your tv should be connected tou your avr so that everything that plays thru the tv will play thru the surround sound !

I don't see why it wouldn't as long as your receiver had an optical out or HDMI out, which most do. Seems like overkill though. Aren't you going the soundbar route to save space and cable runs?

Absolutely. I have my Roku3 input via hdmi so I can pull both hdmi and toslink out to my TV and receiver. Works great.

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 appears the Amazon App on the Roku can not do Surround Sound, or 5.1. Standard stereo works.

I havent tried it with a ROKU box, but it has HDMI, component and composite inputs, so I'm sure it will work fine.

If the soundbar connects via RCA input, I don't see why not. I used this cable to connect to a sound system, myself.

This 3 ft. HDMI cable will work fine to connect your Roku to your HDTV. The short length leaves less extra cable bunched up behind the TV.

This is not intended to be used with a Roku. The Roku has HDMI output to the TV. HDMI carries both audio and video signals. The Panlong is a digital (optical) to analog converter. I have on older stereo with RCA speaker inputs. so, this will take the optical audio out from my tv and convert it to an analog signal my older stereo can use. so, no it will not work with a Roku directly.

Yes is should work out fine.... I had my Roku hooked up to HDMI 1 then I had my xbox hooked up on HDMI 2 ( also used as my DVD player ) and then just had the normal antenna hooked up for free TV over the air via coax and I run everything from my optical out to the soundbar, so no matter what input your on the optical should play all... Hope this helps.

Sorry, no idea. I am connecting to a Rasberry Pi which only outputs HDMI. I use this to strip the sound off of the Rasberry Pi that has the Squeezeplug software installed. If the Roku ouputs HDMI and you only need sound which you want to use as input into receiver as analog, then it will likely work.

I used standard composite cables to hook into my surround sound unit. HDMI cable will work also

I am not sure just what a Roku is, but is its probably a digtial system using HDMI outputs, this unit handles Analog only, so I don't think it is going to work

I just tried for you it works fine. Its probably something to do with your devices arc is very poorly implemented it should work with any HDMI cable even ones made before arc was even a thing. Another thing most arc only supports 2 channel audio so if your serious about sound its not even an option.

1. It should - it works fine with AppleTV 3, so I don't see why it wouldn't for a Roku 2XD 2. It comes with stereo 1/8" (3.5mm) to dual RCA female adapter. You would need an RCA to RCA cable to connect to a typical home stereo.

This is because your Onkyo only does HDMI Passthrough and no audio processing. It's basically an HDMI switch. So you need a separate audio connection to get sound to your AVR.
