Yes it comes with A/V cables, you will either want too mute your tv volume or turn it down low to prevent an echo effect.

Yes it do comes with basic av jacks (sorry), but u should get some with a little more power in my opinion.

The remote for the Coby does not affect the TV speakers. I disconneted the RCA sound cables running from my ATT UVERSE box to the back of the TV and connected them directly into the Coby. The volume control for the soundbar does not have any affect on the TV. I used the TV remote to turn the TV speakers down to 0. I believe the Coby came with cables but they are very cheap anyway. I have many laying around from old games/VCRs/DVD players/etc.

Sorry to say, I am not at all familiar with the technical aspects of how this connects to the TV. I had folks helping me with the hookup. I do know that turning off the TV does not turn off the soundbar...that has to be done with its own remote...the Sound bar takes over the TV's sound. Note that we did have to adjust the TV sound and then the Soundbar sound and then it sounds great. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I bought a Yamaha sound bar that only connects to my TV. On the back of it is the place to connect the TV to the soundbar. The TV said Digital sound and the Yamaha only has optical sound I had to get the extra cord to make the connection work properly. Apparently this is very common with many electronic devices. The cables are much more expensive at local retailers.

This is only a problem if you are using the TV's internal receiver. Most people use an external device, such as a cable box, DVD player, or AV receiver - then output the signal to the TV. If you do this, you can send the audio output from the external device directly to your soundbar.

This is how I connected my units. I have Time Warner cable, a Samsung smart TV and a Blu-Ray player.I connected the sound bar to the TV using the optical cable. If your TV does not have an optical connection, you will need to use an HDMI cable for this. Next, I ran an HDMI cable from the cable box to the sound bar. Finally, I connected the Blu-ray unit to the sound bar via an HDMI cable. Then I set the TV volume to zero to get no sound from the TV speakers. I hope this helps.

This is a good small soundbar, especially for the money, but if I understand your question correctly it will NOT sync directly with your TV's volume control, but the volume will become quieter or louder when changed on your TV. For example, if you turn the volume on your TV up it will not turn the speaker's internal volume up, however the sound coming through the speaker will become louder. The speaker has its own independent volume control, that you adjust with the black knob you can see on the right-hand side in the picture (and unfortunately the speaker does not come with its own remote). So basically, once the speaker is plugged into your TV you can raise the volume either by raising your TV's volume or the speaker's volume, but one will not control the other. Hope that helps! :-)

There is not much information here, but my guess would be that the system either has the internal speakers off or the system is set to internal mute because it thinks an external sound source is controlling volume. I assume you are receiving some sound and it is just not changing as you toggle volume up and down. If you are receiving no sound at all, I would bet it is a cabling issue and you do not have a sound source connected to your TV. Hope this helps despite not being terrible specific.

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.

If you connect the sound bar to a TV via the included Optical Cable, that will NOT mute the TV's speakers. When connected via Optical Cable you need to lower the speaker volume to zero or press "Mute" on the TV remote, then control the volume thru the Sound Bar's remote...If you want the convenience of controlling ALL TV functions with a single remote, use the Headphone output on the TV to connect to the "Portable" input jack on the Sound Bar, via a double-ended male 3.5mm stereo cable. (Search on Amazon for ASIN: B0002ZPJZO.) Set the TV & Sound Bar volume level to no more than "50" and control the TV volume using only the TV remote thereafter.

The back of my sound bar has an "Opt In" for the optical cable, a LAN port (although it connects to Wi-Fi), and an HDMI out to run the same apps which come with the LG TV. We use the Optical cable through the Opt In port. The volume is controlled by the remote that came with the sound bar. We don't use the HDMI port out, there is no "In HDMI" port on the bar. I hope this helps, good luck!

It sounds like your sound bar is not connected throught the TV set. The audio cable should be connected to the TV set so that when the TV set is turned off there will be no sound through the sound bar. I have also had trouble with the remote for the sound bar. It seems to go out of alignment sometimes and will not operate the sound bar. I find that pushing the top button on the sound bar until it blinks orange and then hitting the volume control button will cause the soundbar and remote to work together again. One of the problems I read about with the sound bar was that the remote will not always operate the sound bar. Hopes this helps.

The volume should go to 20+ on the digital readout on the front of the bar. I rarely go above 17, because it is way too loud. At level 3 it should be nearly inaudible. I assume you have turned the TV speakers off. You could have a bad remote (it's a poor remote to begin with). I suggest changing the battery as soon as you get it. If not the remote, you probably have a defective unit.

Safraz, This model does not have an audio output, so connecting your audio bar directly to your cable/sat box or other source device would be recommended. Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions. --Mr. S

I have my bar connected to my television through an optical cable. It gets all of the sound from all of my devices connected to my television.

I had that problem and it was because my tv volume was too low when I set it up. If you turn up your tv volume before you disable the tv speakers it should work. If the soundbar is ringing during silences your tv volume is too loud.
