My optical audio goes from soundbar to tivo now I get no audio from dvd player. Will this solve the problem? What wires go where? Thanks.

if your sound bar only has one optical cable input than yes will solve the problem and allow you to hook up to three devices to your sound bar. you would connect one optical cable from your dvd to the toslink on input 1 and your tivo to input 2 and a third optical cable from the output on the toslink to the input on your sound bar. you can then hook up a third device, cable box or game console to the 3rd input on the toslink. once hooked up, you are able to use the toslink remote to switch sound between devices.

This switcher has 3 inputs and 1 output. Your TiVo and DVD player get plugged into two of the input spots and your sound bar gets connected to the output. You will need 3 separate optical cables

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.

Can I connect this directly to my DVD player? My DVD player has the following: "Line out video"; "S-Video out"; "R, L Audio out"; "Component video out" (which is 3 RCA size jacks); "Digital out coaxial" (which is one RCA size jack). Thanks.

I solved all mt sound problems and eliminted all the RCA plug by using an optical video/audio cable directly from my Kenwood receiver to the TV. Sound great!

If your trying to feed your TV and sound bar from the DVD Player this will not feed both at the same time, it is a switch. Try going into your TV audio in and then come Audio out of the TV to the input of the sound bar or visa versa. If you do not have enough ins and outs look View HD SPDIF | TOSLINK Digital Optical Audio Splitter 1x3" here on Amazon.

My sound system receiver fried. I would like to hook this directly to my tv or dvd system. Neither of them have speaker jacks. They both have one rca out or multiple s video/audio spots. How does this hook into them? I do not see any outlets other than speaker wire.

Do you want the sound to go into your TV from your DVD player? If so, this device won't do that. It converts a digital coaxial signal into an optical signal. I use it to run sound from my TV to my soundbar. My TV only has coaxial out and my soundbar only has optical in.

The HDMI signal from the DVD player has the audio encoded into the video signal. This unit breaks out the video to VGA and the audio into an analog L/R signal which you could feed into an audio receiver which is required to amplify the sound so one can hear it. Powered computer speakers may work as well if the appropriate converter is available.

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

Are the video and audio inputs you're talking about the red, white and yellow colored wires? I use that now with my recorder which I'd like to get rid of although it records great. I bought a Sony dvd recorder from Best Buy and not even 6 months later, dvd's that work on my other Sony 5 disc player, skipped and froze when I played them on the recorder. My dvd recorder makes so much noise. Has anyone had any problems with the Toshiba after having it for some time? It sounds like a really good deal for the price! Thanks.

Oh, I forgot. You probably need optical cables too if u use a smart TV And Will Have The Sound Coming Out From The T.V directly as opposed to sound from your cable box.

you would need to get a USB or firewire based module in order to enable you to send a DTS signal, such as M-Audio's Transit which uses an optical audio out. If you have OS X 10.4 (Tiger), you will be able to send DTS from the DVD Player if you have an optical out that can send it (like the Transit). This will allow you to get the full sound out of that system. I'm about to get a transit, myself. I have a Dual 1Ghz G4 (Quicksilver 2002) Mac.

Check your dvd player to see if it has an audio sync/delay feature. I've seen some that do to adjust for the audio/video delay via HDMI. I haven't had any audio sync issues, but I'm also using optical audio to a separate stereo.

I use regular speaker wire that runs from the back of my tuner (not my DVD player) into the speakers. I then run an output from my tuner into my DVD player. I hope this helps.

If you are connected to a cable box, there should be an optical connection there. Once connected, you should lower the volume on the TV to zero so sound will only come from the soundbar.

I have the same bar. I hooked up the bar to tv as instructed and hooked up the DVD player as instructed. Be sure to shut the sound off on TV to use external sound.

If you are using an HDMI it provides Audio and Video. So you can HDMI your dvd player to the sound bar in one of the three slots provided and then use an HDMI cord from the sound bar to the TV. If it isn't working make sure your TV has ARC and go thru the menu options in the sound bar and turn on HDMI pass through. Hope this helps!
