how to connect a soundbar
900652
I haven't connect a soundbar, but there is a headphone jack on the back of the set, so I'm assuming you could run a audio cord form the headphone jack to the input on the soundbar. I'm not sure if the soundbar has a hdmi connection, but there are two on the back of the tv so perhaps you could also connect it with a hdmi cord. Sorry about the lack of knowledge, but perhaps knowing which connectors are available will help you when looking at the soundbar's connectors.

You can't connect a receiver to the soundbar, unless the receiver has a line level output. Since this is an active soundbar, it's designed to be used without a receiver.

You actually have to connect the turntable to a receiver that has RCA phono inputs (different from RCA aux inputs) and then use an optical out connection from the receiver to the soundbar. Those receivers are not easy to find, but one example is Marantz PM6005 Hi-Fi Integrated Amplifier.

Think of this soundbar as being a replacement for traditional speakers so you'll need an amplifier. If you don't have an amp or your TV doesn't have speaker outputs, you'll want to find a soundbar that has the amp built in and accepts some sort of digital input.

You will need a digital coax audio cable (colored orange) to connect your TV to the adaptor, and then a stereo RCA audio cable (red and white) to connect the adaptor to the soundbar.

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

Use the audio in on the tv and connect it to the red white on the soundbar.

The best and ideal way to setup your sound bar is with HDMI. The beautiful thing about HDMI is they were designed to deliver a digital handshake, or relay information both ways. Connect your three HDMI supported devices directly to ports HDMI 1, 2 and 3 in the rear of the unit. There is an ARC supported HDMI output you can hook an HDMI cable from the bar to the TV, which will give you video pass-through so you can see the video from your original HDMI source. This port also supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) which, when a v1.4 HDMI cable is hooked from the bar directly to an ARC HDMI input on a television, it will also return the audio from the TV back to the bar. With this setup, you will have to use the input selector on your sound bar's remote (unless you have a Harmony remote) to switch among your different devices.

We recommend you obtain an Optical to Analog adapter with a built-in Dolby Digital converter. The Optical connects the TV's optical output jack to the adapter and the adapter's red and white jacks connect to the sound bar.

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 believe the only hookup to the soundbar are threaded, red and black gold plated posts, which would be coming from an amplifier or an amplified surround sound receiver. I bought this soundbar for a family member and its been a while since I've seen it. I hope this helps.

The best way? That is somewhat subjective. Since it appears that you only have 1 source connected to your soundbar (cable box), your way will work although I think that you are using an unnecessary HDMI cable from the TV to the soundbar. Your goal should be to get video to the TV and sound to the soundbar. Ideally, you want to make as direct a connection to the soundbar as possible from the source. If your TV doesn't have ARC, the HDMI cable from the TV to the soundbar is worthless. In your setup, it serves no purpose anyway because HDMI from the cable box to the TV gets you video and the optical cable from the cable box to the soundbar gets you direct audio. I would eliminate the HDMI cable from the TV to the soundbar since, even if your TV has ARC, your TV is probably only outputting 2 channel audio this way. You will also be keeping the HDMI IN and OUT on your soundbar open should you want to connect a BD player. Another way would be to connect your cable box to the soundbar via HDMI IN and then connect the HDMI OUT from the soundbar to the TV. No need to mix up the 2 ways. To connect multiple sources, I would recommend getting something like this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=8463&seq=1&format=2 . Good luck.

Okay... It's been awhile since I setup my soundbar. If it comes with it then you are good to go. I just knew you would need such a connection cable.

Everything connects to the tv. Sound is connected through one optical cable. Very simple and an amazing sound bar.

It depends on what input jacks you have on your TV - as I recall, this soundbar had both audio L/R (the red and white tipped cables) and a digital connecton (called TOSLink). If you use the TOSLink connection, you'll get better sound quality yet you'll need to buy the TOSLink cable separately. I was never able to get the TOSLink connection to work on mine (I bought the soundbar for my elderly father who had difficulty hearing the TV) so I ended up using the Audio L/R connection.
