How does one connect this unit to an oCOSMO CE3230V ? This unit includes a black RCA for SPDIF but the tv has a Digital optical out connection

The sound bar has two input options, analog RCA (red and white) and Digital Coax (black). The oCosmo site does not list digital optical output for the CE3230V model in the specs but does list analog RCA (red and white), Digital Coax (black) and a headphone jack for audio outputs. You would need to use one of those TV outputs with the corresponding input on the sound bar, utilizing the appropriate cables. As this is not my primary TV (mostly used to watch sports on the patio), I simply use the RCA connections and I am pleased with the sound from the sound bar and the picture from the TV. Hope this helps and good luck.

The RCA's are only input on the TV. The only audio output it has is a Digital Audio Output which is coaxal, so your receiver needs a digital audio coaxal input.

If your TV has a digital audio SPDIF connection you can simply purchase one of these;Digital Audio Coaxial SPDIF Coax to Toslink Optical Digital Converter

Answer number 2 is exactly what I would do. Adapter from RCA analog to Digital optical. I have a Sony 200 disc cd player but lucky for me it has an optical out jack.

Yup I HAD that problem as well when I was using RCA inputs but when I changed to Digital Optical, I found that the volume was way too loud and had to turn it down a lot just to fit viewing need. Well, the way I have my setup with the same HTIB(Home Theater in Box) is: PS3&gt;Reciever via Digital Optical for Audio PS3&gt;TV via Component(Plan to upgrade to HDMI once the cable comes) TV&gt;Reciever via RCA(Red and White plugs) For yours specifically Castellanos, I think we need a bit more info on the TV and the Toshiba, like what kind of Inputs and Outputs are on the back of both products or if not that way, give a link to see information on those items. Hopefully we can get this straighten out as with others in the same boat.

This unit connects to the audio out of any of those devices. It connects via standard RCA plugs or optic cable. Both are included. The easiest to work with all of those devices is to use the audio out jacks on your TV. To get the most detailed info go to the Oticon website and look up TV connect 2.0. Hope this helps. Dennis

Ok, there is another kind of digital cable connection you can use if your tv has that... Otherwise, the unit should come with a rca y connection where you connect a red and white to your tv and the other end is one black rca cable that goes into the back of the unit on the far left side. If you do not have a rca Y connector than try to connect either the red or the white wire only to the back of the unit where it says analog in.. That means the unit only has a mono rca connection on the far left side of the unit where it says analog in.

According to the manual, both the SPDIF and the optical (toslink), even though they are 'digital', are according to the owner's manual, 'bandwidth limited' ( compared to any/all HDMI cable ). You have an excellent (!) analog out section, (both 2 ch. and 5.1 ch.) .... why process through additional DAC ? The RCA outputs are analog preamplifier circuits, and are without question superior to any tubed analog circuit especially if you add an additional, possibly unnecessarily (?), DAC section, tubed or not tubed, if that is the question.

The sound options need to be, "Audio Out" instead of TV Speakers, and change the "Variable" to "Fixed". This got the SPDIF cable working on my KDL-46EX520. I'd imagine your settings are very similar.

If you have a single (yellow) digital audio (SPDIF) "out" jack on the TV, that is specifically for a digital audio "in" jack on another component. Pretty much every TV also has red and white audio out jacks. Those are what you connect to the sound bar. Alternatively, many TVs have an optical (Toslink) jack for audio out. I believe that your sound bar has one too. That would be preferable. AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

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."

type this into the search box.coaxial digital audio to optical digital audio converter.if this comes up, the coaxial digital cable should come out of the tv and into the first part of the converter.then the optical digital cable should come out of the other end and into the yamaha.

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

First, ensure that your external audio system is set up to receive a digital audio signal. Then, you may want to try to adjust the SPDIF output type on the TV. You can toggle between Dolby Digital and PCM audio by navigating to MENU/SOUND/SPDIF TYPE.

you can get the manual from the panasonic website which includes this info... as i recall from skimming through the manual (just ordered this tv and i'm waiting for it to come in) it definitely has an optical output and i'm sure it has a standard RCA stereo output

well you would need to use a input on back of receiver but it depends on if it hi def ( Hi Definittion ) input or regular rca inputs . With hidef ( Called S/ PDIF Out ) you need 75 Ohm digital coax cable. the rest of the outputs you will need a rca cable that has a 3.5 mini ( plugged into jack 3 or 4 on card ) stereo jack at one end two RCA jacks at other end ( typically you use aux input on stereo . )

It has standard component ports and an SPDIF port. I use the SPDIF b/c it's just one digital cable, and there is an inexpensive adapter you can use to go from that to the optical (what I do to go to my LG Soundbar). Works great.
