What is the red/white/black inputs on the bar under coax? Can't use TOSLink and it took a while to find a Digital Audio Coax cable but it didn't work.

I didn't need to use these as I hooked up using fiber optic cable my guess is that they are for composit type hook up or a/v output. You might look in the set up manual

The red and white are RCA ports. That is how I have mine hooked up. I tried to use the optical audio port... And it sounded great, but the way things decode(I don't completely understand it) it doesn't work for a lot of audio. The black, I believe, is a mono rca input.

The red and white are rca type audio inputs (red=right, white=left). The black IS the digital coaxial input. If you can't or don't want to use the digital optical input, you can connect whatever it is you want to use with the sound bar via the red and white inputs with an rca type cable providing it has rca type audio outputs (right and left, or red and white).

There are three output ports on this soundbar--two are Optical Digital and one is Digital Audio Coax. Here are the exact cables I purchased: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LT2C5W/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J2B8I/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The one specifically labeled as TV on the soundbar is one of the optical ones, but if your TV doesn't have that type of port, you can use the coax one and remember to hit the right button on the soundbar/remote when you use it. Hope this helps!

Digital Optical are much better than RCA. They carry a 5.1 signal, not sure if your sound bar supports that or not... just beware that these cables (at least the ones I received) are not as pictured. They didn't come with the attached caps and were much thinner and more brittle.

They are digital in puts and out puts. Used in the same way as the coaxial connectors. It has 2 toslink digital connections, output and input, that can be connected other digital equipment like external D/A converters

Found this on the MonoPrice site. "* The S/PDIF Optical (Toslink) and Digital Coax audio output formats are based on the HDMI audio output. If any of the sync devices (e.g., HDTV, Projector, etc.) connected to the output can only support stereo audio, then the S/PDIF Optical (Toslink) and Digital Coaxial outputs will be limited to PCM stereo audio."

It has optical/toslink out. I'm pretty sure it down-mixes the output to stereo, though.

I checked my sound bar and there are NO HDMI inputs on this unit. It has fiber optic cable connection to the TV. Carl

You'll need to buy a digital interface that will accept a Toslink input and output analog connectors that your AV Receiver will accept...unless you AV Receiver has an optical digital (Toslink) input somewhere on the back...which it should if it's not too old. I send the Toslink output to digital interface that converts it to coaxial digital output (bought on Amazon) and then on to a DAC that accepts the coax digital...said DAC then outputs with red and white analog outputs that go to my preamp (AVR for you). Check the back of your AVR and see it there's a optical digital (Toslink) input.

What cable are you using to go to from the unit to your tv, if RCA is it in the output on your tv, maybe try and changing your tv audio output settings

No there isn't anything you can do for the coax out, however you might find an RCA-1/8" inch female adapter to use with audio portion of the video/s-video/composite out (the red and white plugs are audio)

If your tv doesn't have any alternate sound out option a sound bar wont work sir. You have to have coax (red, white,) cable ports minimum. Best are hdmi and optical ports. As long as you have something from your Tele to the shins system all others will come through. (Royku etc)

Something like these for the analogue audio http://www.amazon.com/Emotiva-MRCA-1-0-RCA-Cable/dp/B00DMI06B0/ref=sr_1_416?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1394099870&sr=1-416&keywords=rca+cable If you are using the SPDIF via coax, something like this http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-102681-Quality-Digital-Coaxial/dp/B001V52PSI/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1394100005&sr=1-5&keywords=digital+coax+cable If you are using the SPDIF via optical, something like this http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Toslink-Digital-Connectors/dp/B004CANMCM/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1394100154&sr=1-10&keywords=toslink+optical+cable

I connect this sound bar to my Samsung TV with a BN39-01154G adapter which I acquired from Samsung which is probably at Radio Shack or other vendors as an Audop adapter that plugs into the TV's Audio Out Line which connects the Red.White RCA lines from the sound bar. Hence I give the unit 5 stars for Awesome price and Awesome Sounds!! Good Luck

Digital Coax is a nifty little protocol that allows you to carry digital audio over an analog rca cable. That first statement is an assumption based on nothing other than the cable I'm using on mine. Most receivers these days have at least 1 digital coax input, but if you're going straight to the analog rca on your tv, you'll need to convert the signal with a little box like this:Portta PETDTAP Digital Coax and Optical Toslink to Analog Audio Converter

I'm sorry, I dont know the answer to that question. I only used the toslink in/out function.

L/R analog rca jacks, optical (Toslink), or HDMI CRC (which does *not* work with my Yamaha receiver!)
