I am trying to connect VIZIO S3821w-C0 38-inch 2.1 Sound Bar to this TV. Is this possible? and if so, how do I do it?

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

Dear Russ, Thanks so much for your inquiry. If you have RCA audio output jacks you can use those to connect to the YAS-103 Soundbar. That will in all probability require you to go into the menu of your television and disable the television's internal speakers. The result will be much better sound! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Regards, Eric Cohen Worldwide Stereo

The tv needs to have an optical out and the sound bar has the optical in, that'll send the sound thru the tv to the sound bar. If your not getting any sound from the sound bar it's probably in the wrong port.

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 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.

I don't have one but have you considered a sound bar? Got a Vizio from Amazon for $50.00.

Hello Cole... I am not familiar with the "Vizo" sound bar, but if the device is controlled by infrared commands, then the answer is yes. The Harmony database my not have the device on file but you can create buttons on the Harmony remote and learn the IR commands into the programming database.

you're not looking for what your tv can input, you want the output for the TV. In case your TV still doesn't have an optical output then the sound bar has the analog inputs on the back. If you don't have an optical output (there should be a small, square hole with a red glowing light that shows that it is an optical out) then your set is outdated or a very cheap TV. If you don't have the optical out then the sound bar would not be beneficial since the analog input does not use the sub-woofer. Here is the manual to see what can go where. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/ephox/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/Home/SP-BS23W_Owners_Manual_English_Nov_14_2013.pdf

Use a digital cable to connect the soundbar to your TV - Bingo its works very well . No other cable or connection is required

Sorry for the dumb question, but what is a soundbar? I've never had to put one on a TV - I just have 5.1 surround hooked up to my current TV.

I do not know. I turn my sound bar off when I am done using it then turn it back on when I use it. I suggest you contact vizio.

You must convert the output signal from your TV audio, which is a digital signal over a coaxial cable type to an optical signal with a Toslink cable. The input into the sound bar will only receive an optical signal using the type of cable fitting dedicated for optical signals. I used this exact same converter on my TV and it worked perfectly. It's been installed for nearly a year and has performed flawlessly.

Do you have a cable box? If so, connect the sound bar to your cable box. When you are using the sound bar for your TV put your TV on mute and the sound will come out via the sound bar - That's the instructions tech support gave me and it worked perfect! Good Luck

I must have missed this. Vizio sound bars are very common (Costco). The fact that Sony doesn't support it is a major oversight. I'll have to send mine back. Tried the learn code on the remote and it doesn't find a match. Vizio is listed on the TV, just not audio. Too bad.

Excuse me friend, really advise you to use a cable for the connection of the TV with the sound unit (Cable optical) Disculpame amigo, de verdad te aconsejo que utilices un cable para realizar la coneccion del tv con la unidad de sonido

All I did was, run the whole 'operation' by utilizing a BlueRigger High Speed HDMI 6.6 ft cable with ethernet which supported the 3D and audio return. I just connected them to the appropriate slots/openings both on the Vizio 3D 65' HDTV and the Sony surround sound product. Other than that, simply nothing! And it is functioning like a dream with robust, quality sound. Hope this helps. OFK.
