I need to connect this sound bar to an older model big screen ULTRAVISION TV. It has the plugs in the rear, no HDMI connections.

If your TV has the red & white (right & left) plugs that say something like "audio OUT", then you'll be able to hook it up. That's how I have mine hooked up to a new 60" flat-screen that didn't have optical out.

As long as you have RCA jacks for your audio out on your TV, you can use this sound bar. There is no hdmi input on this sound bar, just RCA and Digital (optical) inputs. Hope this helps!

Sorry to say, I returned mine. I couldn't get it to work with an 11 yo Sony rear projection big screen

Think of this soundbar as being a replacement for traditional speakers so you'll need an amplifier. If you don't have an amp or your TV doesn't have speaker outputs, you'll want to find a soundbar that has the amp built in and accepts some sort of digital input.

Either a digital optical or coaxial optical cable. Your TV most certainly has an output for one or both of those, which will connect your TV to soundbar. It should also work to transmit sound to the sound bar from devices plugged into your TV via HDMI(cable box, dvd, Xbox, etc). I have my unit connected with a coaxial digital cable and t sounds great and also has the bonus of not tying up and HDMI input ont TV because I use them all already.

I connected a new blue-ray player to and old TV that only had component conections and it worked fine. Beware sound requires a separate cable

If your tv has the side RCA pug ins like most tv's you can get it to work. I own one of these sound bars if I had it to do over I would spend a little more and get a better sound bar.

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

Wow, bless your heart. I spent hours on the phone with Sony and Panasonic only to be spinning my wheels. Ended up returning my soundbar. Perhaps Radio Shack might be able to help you out. Sorry, I'm not much help. I wish you well.

Okay... It's been awhile since I setup my soundbar. If it comes with it then you are good to go. I just knew you would need such a connection cable.

There is an optical output in the TV , the optical input from sound bar should be connected to the optical output of the TV. I am not sure if this will work with other TV. I think if there is an optical output, it may work.

Yes you have 2 options. If your TV got a audio output then use that to connect this speakers. If your TV don't have audio output then you need use their AV option (You cannot HDMI)

I must have missed this. Vizio sound bars are very common (Costco). The fact that Sony doesn't support it is a major oversight. I'll have to send mine back. Tried the learn code on the remote and it doesn't find a match. Vizio is listed on the TV, just not audio. Too bad.

Yes, but one quick note that might help you: I switched from and older receiver that had many inputs and outputs but no HDMI to a newer one with HDMI support. At first when setting up the sound bar I freaked out when I realized the newer receiver didn't have optical out but it didn't stop me; I ended up running the optical out from the TV to the sound bar. If you have to do this you might need to go into your receiver's settings and enable sound through the TV HDMI signal (it was disabled in mine).

Keep in mind that this sound bar connections are input only. Normally a/v receivers have digital input only. Does your receiver have output for speakers? If so, you would not be able to connect this item to your receiver. You can connect this sound bar to your dvd player by using the rca connections or digital and then connect your projector using the hdmi from your dvd.

My particular Sony sound bar did not fit on this adapter, the mounting holes were too far apart, you should either measure the mounting holes on your sound bar or look in the manual to determine whether or not the holes are further apart than this adapter can handle.

Actually, I don't agree with BarryLee. I just got the SoundBar, and yes it does connect to the TV via HDMI cables, but that only provides sound for the DVD audio. The TV can connect to the subwoofer via a digital coaxial cable, which is not as good as an HDMI, but still good. Can't figure out if I am going to be able to connect my appleTV to the soundbar.

Check your TV to see if it has optical output. If it does, then hook up the optical cable to it. Note: some of the sound will NOT process by this model (like XBOX games, or sounds has DTS). In that case you have to use RCA cable to hook up from your TV to this sound bar. I also found an issue with this model is that, when the sound bar is on, it will mess up my wireless connection to my laptop.

If the particular sound bar has HDMI inputs and outputs then yes it should work, but I'm reading the optical connections don't work in that cofiguration
