Hi. I'm Sorry I don't know for sure on both questions. If you want a guess, I would say probably no hdmi output.

No, you cannot hook up headphones to this soundbar: the only outputs: 1 x Subwoofer Output 1 x System Control Output

I have an LG and was unable to connect this sound bar to my TV and have it function with the cable. It's all in what you have for inputs. You need analog or coaxial inputs, kind of old school, I think. It has no hdmi or other outputs except the traditional red, black and yellow plugs. My system was already using these for my cable and after consulting with their customer service I was told it wouldn't function with my T.V.

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...

The soundbar accepts HDMI and digital (optical or coax). To use your receiver, you would have to connect the HDMI out or some other digital pre-out. Another option is to buy an un-powered unit and the speaker terminals from the receiver would power it.

Yes with a component style connection, this sound bar does not support HDMI though

If you TV has a HDMI connection it should work or use the audio out from the TV to the line 1 or 2 connections on the sound bar.

Ok, guys I'm old and new to this stuff, so be pateint... How does a sound bar work. Is it hooked to the TV and instead of the sound coming from the TV it comes out of the sound bar and I'm assuming the sound is much better. Can you contol the sound volume with a Directv remote or the TV remote. Thanks in advance... Mike

Hi, As long as your TV has a ( Audio Out ) connection you should be able to connect this sound bar. The Sound bar has a Small ( Audio In ) connector, This type of connector looks like the single poll sized connector used on a lot of computer sound in jacks. If your TV has a RCA type of ( Audio Out ) connections =if it has two connections,( a Red and a White ) audio out jacks like my tv has you can buy an adaptor cable that has the two Red and White RCA plugs on one end that will plug into your TV and the the small single plug jack on the other end that will plug into this sound bar. This is how I set it up with my TV. The sound bar works really good with very good loud and clear sound. It was well worth the money in my opinion. I hope this helps you with your decision.

There are only 2 inputs. 1 standard audio L/R jacks and one digital audio. No HDMI. You need to plug everything into your tv and use the tv audio out to the speaker bar. Which really is the best way anyways. And then it does have Bluetooth so anything with Bluetooth will connect as well.

That Sherwould Receiver has no Preouts. You can not hook it up to a sound bar. Sound bars are made to hook up directy to your TV useualy with the Optical out of the TV.

This won't work. There is only one hdmi on the sound bar. Its actually a dumb design on Philips part. You also have the option of rca from the tv to the sound bar.

The soundbar does not have an HDMI connector. In regards to digital inputs - it does have one optical SPDIF input. There is also a digital coaxial input.

I really don't know how the sound bar is connected. I used my pigtail to connect a DVD recorder and a Blu Ray player to the same HDMI jack. It works fine that way. Of course, I can only use one at a time--either the Blu Ray player or the Recorder/player.

Depending on how you have configured the connection the answer may lie in whether or not you are using a digital optical cable for the out put of the TV to the unit. HDMI is for ingoing signals, but if you are using the TV as a source to amplify then you need to add the digital optical cable from the TV out to the Sound bar in for this cable. If that does not correct the problem, then you may have a defective unit. This cable is not included in the box, but can be purchased for about 10-20 dollars depending where you buy.
