You only need to direct the sound to the bar from the tv. An optical cable from the tv to the sound bar will do the tick.

Plug sound bar into TV and plug ROKO into TV using HDMI cable all should play out of sound bar

Hi Scott D.You may connect your comcast and apple tv directly to the soundbar and from the soundbar HDMI out going to your TV. Thanks. >Joffrey

The two I have (Netgear and Roku) both demand hdmi cables to connect the player to the TV--the only signal output is an hdmi connection.

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

I have my TV connected to the Soundbar via optical as well and it works fine. I had to buy the cable separately though. I would think that HDMI is all you need since the Soundbar acts as an HDMI hub.

Your question needs more specific details. this is an hdmi splitter it will automatically switch to the active hdmi source. So for example your roku, bluray player and cable box can plug into this and then this can go into your TV. if you have a sound bar you should be connecting it with an optical cable or analog audio cable. i recommend the optical. As far as connections you can hook up the bar to your cable box directly or to the tv directly. it would be helpful if we knew what devices and tv u had how many hdmi ports as well as what your over all goal for connectivity is.

I am unfamiliar with the particular product you are enquiring about, however: Your TV model has Digital Optical TOSLINK output. Providing your Sound Bar has Digital Optical TOSLINK input I would recommend instead: http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-TOSLINK-Digital-Optical-Switcher/dp/B00G188Z7A/ref=sr_1_9?s=audio-video-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1407943737&sr=1-9 (copy this link to your browser) The product is available from Amazon $31.95. You would also need two TOSLINK cables (Optical Digital Audio) - one from your TV to one of the input ports on the ViewHD connector and one from output port of the connector to the Sound Bar. Different lengths are available from Amazon. I have used this connector to link my HDTV, BlueRay player and Cable Box to my Sound Bar. One advantage is that when playing cable music channels and wanting sound only, I can switch sound signals to go direct from cable box to sound bar and leave TV off. This is a very useful connector.

You need to buy a powered switch that has 2 inputs and 1 output. Cable and roku go to input, and output goes to Tv

as far as i know, most cable boxes are the same. here's how to set it up.first connect the soundbar to your TV using the optical cable.then connect the cable box to you TV with the HDMI cable.now in the TV settings, you have to select external speakers instead of the built-in speakers to use the soundbar as your speakers.

You may need a fiber optic cable, I'm honestly not sure what I used to connect mine considering mine broke within a few months of owning it at which point I purchased a pretty awesome Samsung sound bar that far exceeds the ability and sound of the Craig Bluetooth soundbar. I know I had some problems with it as to how I was to connect the soundbar initially and I figured out a solution however I truly cannot remember due to the fact that I've not used the product for quite sometime now. I'm very sorry I couldn't be of more help!

If you are using an HDMI it provides Audio and Video. So you can HDMI your dvd player to the sound bar in one of the three slots provided and then use an HDMI cord from the sound bar to the TV. If it isn't working make sure your TV has ARC and go thru the menu options in the sound bar and turn on HDMI pass through. Hope this helps!

My rca sound bar has only rca red/white cord and emerson tv only has orange digital audio out coaxial how do I hook these together

No, you connect the soundbar to your TV using the digital optical cord and then anything that is plugged into your TV through HDMI will come through the soundbar.

Not sure about the Roku's connections, but I'll tell you how my media server is connected. I put an hdmi adapter into the pc to send video to the TV, then sent the audio into the AUX input of the SC-BTT195. When I'm on the media server, I have to change the TV Audio input in the settings from ARC to AUX. It's a little clumsier than I like but it gets the job done and I have great video and audio.

That'll work. What I did since I have multiple things connected to my tv (gaming system, satellite, blue ray player), I have all these things connected to my tv via HDMI cable with the tv connected to the soundbar via optical cable; I get to utilize the soundbar for all my connections this way.

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

Go into the roku setup menu and select pair remote. Follow the on screen instructions from there
