Sorry, but I could not say for sure. If you order it, you would be taking a gamble, for 12.95 dollars. It is not too expensive. Have you tried emailing the manufacture?

I don't actually own this product, but looking at the spec's it has an HDMI out and an optical in. This means that the HDMI connection will probably only work outputting the video signal to your TV from the soundbar's smart apps. Looking elsewhere and reading some of the reviews this sounds to be the case, although the other reply seems to indicate they tested with only HDMI and it worked for them, so take my answer with a grain of salt.

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.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

I have an LG and was unable to connect this sound bar to my TV and have it function with the cable. It's all in what you have for inputs. You need analog or coaxial inputs, kind of old school, I think. It has no hdmi or other outputs except the traditional red, black and yellow plugs. My system was already using these for my cable and after consulting with their customer service I was told it wouldn't function with my T.V.

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

yes u can hook it up with just the usb but u well get no sound from the speakers they can here u but u can only here them with the tv speakers if u buy one buy with the Jacks

no problem. Just plug the AV out into the input device red, yellow, and white inputs. Haven't tried the component cable since I use HDMI. Don't know if component works or not.

Yes, your tv has an optical digital output. Connect the digital cable to the sound bar and you are done.

if the tv has a usb connection its more than likely for a computer connection I have not personaly tried a computer to tv via usb but a computer to tv via hdmi cable will send sound to the tv worth trying if your dying to use this speaker setup but i can tell you with all the adio equipment avialable to check in to somthing more sophisticated suck as a sound bar wich is more user friendly and or maybe invest in a sound converter

Hi Donna - from a quick search, there are adapters that exist that will go from 1/8" male to USB (found some on the other popular bidding site that ends in 'bay'). The ads say they will pass audio and power - I've never tried it so I don't know if it actually works. These speakers have decent sound (I've been happy with them), but I'm just using them instead of my laptop's speakers so I'm sitting fairly close to them - I'm not sure how great they'd be with a TV - maybe fine - just not sure.

Yeah, the optical input connection is really weak at the soundbar. Sound cuts out intermittently. I ended up using the analog connection (the difference is negligible with these cheapo soundbars).

I've never used the USB, but the onscreen "Inputs" menu lists the following: TV, AV1, AV2, S-Video1, S-Video2, Component1, Component2, HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, VGA.The USB is not listed in the inputs menu.

Can't say for certain but I think it unlikely. I don't think most HDTV units provide USB output for sound. Even if it did, the speaker bar gets its power from the USB port which means it would not be loud enough to be useful with a TV.

Could you use the AV Cables that are in the back to hook it up to a portable sound dock? I just purchased one of these off ebay and was either going to get a Red/White Audio spitter to a 3.5mm Coaxial that way I can run it through my portable Bose Sound Dock to enhance the sound (http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Stereo-3-5mm-AUD-1200-25/dp/B0016LTZFI/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514406&sr=1-11) or if that audio channel is dedicated to the Svideo Input, You could buy a Digital to analog converter (http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Audio-Analog-Converter/dp/B0013LWK3A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306514478&sr=1-1) and then use a Toslink cable from the MM72 to the Converter and then the RCA cables to whatever you choose. lol Sorry its what I am going to do.

The soundbar does not have an HDMI connector. In regards to digital inputs - it does have one optical SPDIF input. There is also a digital coaxial input.

This device doesn't do any transcoding/conversion of audio. It only pulls the audio from the source HDMI feed and sends it the digital optical/coax ports. If the source sends audio in a format that your soundbar/AV receiver doesn't support, this device won't help. It's mainly of use for people with HDMI source devices and soundbars/amplifiers that don't have HDMI inputs.
