Yes, I recently added a center channel speaker to my existing 2 front speaker set up. I was running through RCA cables initially, but with the added channel, these are incompatible. I got the optical audio cable, hooked it to my receiver, but have been unable to get any sound whatsoever out of it.

Hi Mark: I found that there is a bug in my 250 at least (it was refurbished) which makes the volume drop way off if I don't have all the equalizer settings in 'custom' set to EXACTLY FLAT. If you do that and OK it with the checkmark, on mine, suddenly the volume goes up. Sorry no idea what firmware I have.

Sorry but my english is very bad, whatever, I'll try to help you, what kind of cable are you use to output the audio? HDMI, Optical?

Hi! Yes. On the back there's a port that is labeled "Optical Digital Audio Output". Hope this helps!

I'm having the same problem with my Sony, I just got a new Sony on Weds. and it doesn't work with the optical either, so I'm going to investigate further, By the way it DID work with a Samsung TV at my dad's house!

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0. Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up.

Yup I HAD that problem as well when I was using RCA inputs but when I changed to Digital Optical, I found that the volume was way too loud and had to turn it down a lot just to fit viewing need. Well, the way I have my setup with the same HTIB(Home Theater in Box) is: PS3&gt;Reciever via Digital Optical for Audio PS3&gt;TV via Component(Plan to upgrade to HDMI once the cable comes) TV&gt;Reciever via RCA(Red and White plugs) For yours specifically Castellanos, I think we need a bit more info on the TV and the Toshiba, like what kind of Inputs and Outputs are on the back of both products or if not that way, give a link to see information on those items. Hopefully we can get this straighten out as with others in the same boat.

Have you tried a subwoofer that works? It will not work if the signal being emitted is not decoded to send the signal to the subwoofer, like Dolby surround.

I have a Sony Home Theater Blu Ray surround sound system and no problems. On my Sony I turned Audio setting for the HDMI off. All sound goes through the Optical Cable. I also have BluRay disk set with External Speaker only sound. I'm really guessing the problem is in your Yamaha set up or wires. Just ensure optical wire is pushed all the way in. Good luck.

Hi Dennis,Try pressing the test tone button on the remote, and see if your getting sound from all speakers. Also, did you use the RCA cables from the BD player to the Onkyo? ( one for each speaker ) Don't forget to choose the right format from the Blu-ray disk ( Dolby truehd / DTS HD master audio ) If your still having a problem, let me know..I can probably walk you through a little more detail.Tom

Checked last night and there is one optical connection (Toslink). Hope this helps.

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 . . . . .

Yes, buttt! The timing might be a little off and could sound simular to an echo effect. My sound bar is hooked up to optical connection. There should be a way to adjust this tv/soundboard timing, butt! I haven't researched this yet

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

Hey Craig-Which optical input connection on the Onkyo receiver did you use to connect the optical cable from your TV? I'm not having success. :-(
