Is there a way to connect all my inputs to a Denon 1612, connect that to the TV, and have the soundbar play sound from all sources?

Yes and no. The PlayBar has only one input: fiberoptic. The Denon AVR-1612 does not include a fiberoptic output, so you cannot directly connect the receiver to the PlayBar. But your TV should have a fiberoptic output, so if you connect all the devices to the Denon via HDMI cables, then connect an HDMI cable from receiver to TV, then fiberoptic cable from TV to PlayBar, you should get sound from all sources connected to the receiver. If you do it this way, make sure that HDMI Audio Output is set to ON in the receiver set-up menu. However, connected this way, you will *NOT* get sound from the Receiver's built-in AM/FM tuner, nor will you get sound from any older devices that are connected to the receiver using analog audio/video cables (typically red/white/yellow RCA cables). There really is no advantage to using the Denon receiver in this set-up, unless your TV only has one or two HDMI inputs and you're trying to add more. But you could do that more simply (and inexpensively) with a simple HDMI switch. For simplicity, I'd recommend connecting all devices to the TV with HDMI cables, and connect the fiberoptic output of the TV to the PlayBar. This way the TV handles all source switching and whatever source is selected on the TV will play through the PlayBar. Hope that helps.

You probably want to hook the Playbar to your TV. You can connect your receiver to the Sonos Playbar using a Sonos Connect. The Sonos Connect turns your receiver into a wireless input for the Playbar or any other Sonos speakers you add throughout the house.

Quick answer: you have to have the HDMI Cable(recent version) that supports sound and follow the instruction in the manual. I just used the optic cable and hooked it directly to TV optic. That was the most simple and it plays sound with everything else I have hooked up to TV without having to select each input port. Hopefully you have the optic port on your TV :-)P.S. Even though this sound bar description does not say it comes with the optic cable, mine had one taped to the styrofoam inside the box, so look carefully.

There are basically two inputs on this. One is an optical and the other is rca. My tv has an optical out, so everything runs through my television then out to my sound bar. That way if you just want to use the sound from the tv you can.

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!

I installed my sound bar through my bluray player. I don't know if you're trying to plug in from your tv or what, but the sound should come from whatever is actually playing the media.

Sure. Just input the output sound from from your TV via, optical, hdmi, or analog.

This soundbar does not accept HDMI inputs. The concept is to connect most of your sources to the TV and then send the audio output from the TV back to the soundback

Almost! You will need a digital to audio converter first......here is the one I bought.... Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support Headphone/Speaker Outputs You connect the "Toslink" cable that comes with the converter.......from the TV to the converter. Then you connect the RCA cable from the other end of the converter.....to your sound bar. It works very well......GT:)

did you hook the receiver to the soundbar so the receiver should be the output and the soudbar should be the input if it is the other way it will not work

Hi, As long as your TV has a ( Audio Out ) connection you should be able to connect this sound bar. The Sound bar has a Small ( Audio In ) connector, This type of connector looks like the single poll sized connector used on a lot of computer sound in jacks. If your TV has a RCA type of ( Audio Out ) connections =if it has two connections,( a Red and a White ) audio out jacks like my tv has you can buy an adaptor cable that has the two Red and White RCA plugs on one end that will plug into your TV and the the small single plug jack on the other end that will plug into this sound bar. This is how I set it up with my TV. The sound bar works really good with very good loud and clear sound. It was well worth the money in my opinion. I hope this helps you with your decision.

Yes you can although not as easily. That is, you can connect via the various inputs (optical, coaxial, or RCA auxiliary) and then cycle through the inputs on the remote input button or on the soundbar input button.

Yes you can. , whatever input you select, this device splits it into a separate audio and video signal. Audio can be linked soundbar through your digital audio port using a toslink audio cable.

You can't - at least I can't. Being SIMPLINK compatible it should turn on when the TV is powered on as I understand it, but I could never get it to work. I have to turn the soundbar on then choose the input all the time. Not great but you get used to it.

Yes. Simply use the audio out plugs on the back of the TV to the matching inputs on the back of the Soundbar. Once connected, you'll want to turn the volume control down on the TV to let the Soundbar system take over. Cheers!

Why would you want to? Hi def sound sent to a fuzzy analog tv...don't do it. You have defeated the purpose of buying the Denon amp.

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.

You could use any of the inputs. However, I would use the Optical or HDMI input first; because they would give you the best quality sound with a current sound bar. I would use the analog, stereo input as your last option.
