Will this work with a hdmi in on my tv to a optical in with my sound bar ? Or do i need somethig else to make this work ?

Yes it should. You'd run HDMI from your cable or satellite box to your TV. Then you'd use the optical cable from either your TV or cable/satellite box to your sound bar.

Cable box goes directly to TV. The optical plug goes from sound bar to cable box. HDMI cable from game unit to bar. We used HDMI 1 for GAME UNIT. Then HDMI output on bar goes to TV. There may be an easier way but this works well.

There is only a digital optic port, no HDMI port. You would have to see if your TV are receiver, has a digital optic port and direct connect it to the sound bar

This didn't work for me. I have a TV with a digital output and a sound bar with rca inputs and optical inputs. I ended up buying a digital to optical converter for twenty five bucks. It works good.

It's all hard wires to this unit. Buy a set of sound bar. It works with the sound bar via optical cable.

There should be a port on the TV designed for the optical adapter. The port will be round, like a headphone jack, which is why you need the adapter. Check your TV's manual for information on the optical output connection.

If I understand the question you will have multiple devices hooked up to your TV via HDMI and you will use an optical audio cable to connect to the sound bar to play sound from the TV. Yes, the sound will play fine. I have the same set-up for mine. You just need to make sure the "function" is switched to "optical" on the sound bar to have it work.

you either need an Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable or an HDMI cable depending on the connections you box has. Although if you TV has HDMI ARC this will work better, with the ARc connection your TV will always pass audio through

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

Blu-Ray to HDMI and the sound bar using the Digital Audio out. That's how I have mine. Works fine but not too impressed with the sound quality of the speakers. Ok if used with TV speakers.

Yes it should work. I had to buy this because my TV only has optical digital audio out and my old sound bar only has analog RCA input. I tried simply using an RCA to SPDIF cable but that didn't work and had to get this box to make it work.

You have to hook up an optical cable from the TV to the soundbar, then it will work when you put the soundbar in the optical mode

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 . . . . .

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.

Without knowing more about you setup (type of TV, etc.) I cannot answer with certainty. If you have the receiver and the TV connection via HDMI from the receivers HDMI out you might be able to use TV audio return channel. Otherwise connecting the optical cable should work, just make sure you have the correct mode selected on the receiver. I believe it is TV but it could be different. Check the manual.

So the setup I have is my Blu-ray HDMI into my TV and Optical out from my TV to this soundbar. I'm not sure of your setup but you wouldn't connect them separately into the soundbar. Hope that helps

Yes, I believe that is how it works, but I use the optical out of the tv into the soundbar so I don't use the HDMI
