Will this work for "optical out from tv" to two different "optical in" soundbars?

I believe it should, it should be like a Y conector.The reason I know this was because I made a mistake and when connecting the cable to the sound bar I forgot to remove the cap.So I realize it when I noticed the cap gone - not gone but stuck inside one of the two connections I placed the cable in the other option and all worked great.Dumb way to find out but it should work. lol

I'm not 100% certain, but, based on my experience, my best guess is no. This splitter did not work when I attempted the same circuit your planning. I suggest getting a powered splitter. It may be a little more money but you'll likely get better performance.

I don't think so. This switch is for multiple devices with optical audio "out" (TV, Blu-ray, etc.) into one device with optical audio "in" (e.g., home theater or receiver). I don't think it can be used the other way around.

This looks like the device for you. I'm using the rca to feed our church's sound board. It looks like it'll do optical and rca out concurrently too.

You can route the audio through your TV "if" your TV has an optical output. You would want to check and make sure.

Jim, i have this unit and hdmi is finicky so i couldn't get it to work. So no big loss. Instead, use fiber optic audio output of tv to feed optical input of soundbar and all will be good. Regards, Greg

Actually I'm using the optical audio output from my Sony tv to the optical input of the sound bar...not sure why it wouldn't work when using the red/white output from your tv into the soundbar...all I did was hook it up and turn my TV speaker off...make sure the blue light is lit up on the soundbar when powered up...

Do you want the sound to go into your TV from your DVD player? If so, this device won't do that. It converts a digital coaxial signal into an optical signal. I use it to run sound from my TV to my soundbar. My TV only has coaxial out and my soundbar only has optical in.

yes..as long as your TV set has RCA jacks..this soundbar doesn't have a optical output jack

I have everything going to my TV (so that is my limit on HDMI inputs). I then just run 1 optical from my TV to the soundbar.. and *any* input/sound combination then successfully is sent to the soundbar (hdmi1 for fios, hdmi2 for bluray player, hdmi3 for xbox etc)

I think it should do it. The TV coax output should plug into the coax input on the device, then run the optical out from the device to the Vizio bar.

Yes, that's what this does. I have an HD TV that did not have a plug-in for optical hook-up for my sound bar. I was able to circumvent that using this converter. A very nice piece of equipment. Now my TV drives the sound bar and, with a switch, my DVD/VCR also work the sound bar. Good luck! Hope this helps.

Yes that is what it is designed for. If your dish receiver has optical out I would recommend buying an optical cable to use with the soundbar otherwise you can use aux cable that it comes with

Nope. This is an optical (digital) audio cable. Your sound bar is an analog input.

Yes with a converter. The one I used is ViewHD Toslink Optical Audio Splitter 1x3 | One Input to Three Outputs | VHD-TS1X3. Input from Optical audio out from the TV and 1 output to my sound bar another to a DBTech Digital to Analog Audio Converter with Digital Optical Toslink and S/PDIF Coaxial Inputs and Analog RCA and AUX 3.5mm (Headphone) Outputs hooked up to the base unit. Much better sound than from the headphone output from the TV. Doing it with the splitter means it is always set up, if you have 2 optical outputs on your TV you don't need a splitter.

Yes this converts up to 3 Analog/digital Signals to 1 Analog/Digital source. I used this for a Bose Cinemate Sounbar since the aux would override the default Optical in. Hooked a 400 CD Disk changer up to switcher 2channel audio Hooked up Blu-Ray using optical Toslink Hooked up DirectTV digital box using optical ToslinkOutputed 1 Digital Optical Toslink to soundbar, and based on what I want to listen to I just hit Source 1,2 or 3 and it swaps to that source.

Yes, it should. This will convert the analog red/white AV output from your TV to the Digital optical signal.In my case I have a small Bluetooth audio receiver with analog output connected to the AV input side and the digital output is connected to the optical connection on my stereo. It works great.

If the cable box and DVD player have Optical Audio outputs, then yes you can. I have 2 game consoles with that output that connect with this splitter and then run to the soundbar. You need to make sure that both devices aren't sending a signal at the same time though. Otherwise your sound will come out distorted and garbled. You can tell this by connecting an optical audio cable to the devices and looking for a red light in the end of the cable.
