Can you connect a soundbar to this receiver?

I don't know but what I do know is the HDMI input that connects to my DirectV box quit working two days ago. I initially assumed it was a DirectV problem but ultimately determined the problem was with the 4 month old Denon AVR-E200. So to have it repaired I have to ship it to them. This is my first and last Denon product. I have had several Sony's over the last 15 years and never a technical problem.

Actually, this receiver (and others) is designed to replace a simple soundbar. For example, assuming you have a coax cable or antennae connection into your TV, you'd feed the sound to the receiver via the optical audio out from the TV to the receiver. The receiver then outputs to traditional 2-channel stereo speakers, or 5.1 surround speakers. If your sound and video come into the receiver, say from a Roku or AppleTV, then the receiver sends the video to the TV and the sound to the speakers.

Yes, you can but you can also connect your sound bar to your LCD/LED TV directly. AV receiver won't be needed.

Nope. This is an optical (digital) audio cable. Your sound bar is an analog input.

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

You can only hook-up a optical connection to a amplifier with such input. Or you can buy a soundbar, but not directly to speakers. any more questions you can reach me a Central TV Inc. >> 330-395-4935 >> gncalugar@gmail.com I hope this info helps, George

Hi, No need for a stereo receiver in order to use the Sony SoundBar. -Vincent

no. although there is an input jack, this speaker is not near capable of producing enough sound to act as a soundbar.

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.

As long as your receiver has a digital optical out if not I'm sure your receiver has auxillary outs in which case the sound bar also has av in on it ( the red and white plugs)

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.

Yes. Simply use the audio out plugs on the back of the TV to the matching inputs on the back of the Soundbar. Once connected, you'll want to turn the volume control down on the TV to let the Soundbar system take over. Cheers!

There's a wired sub out for this soundbar. If you have a wireless one already, you'd need an adaptor.

I really can't answer this for sure as I do not use my receiver with a TV or sound bar etc...it is strictly used in my home theater so that feature is not used. however, I did use it to do the initial setup and had it connected for a few days with no problems as others have mentioned.

You probably want to hook the Playbar to your TV. You can connect your receiver to the Sonos Playbar using a Sonos Connect. The Sonos Connect turns your receiver into a wireless input for the Playbar or any other Sonos speakers you add throughout the house.

No, you need to buy speaker wire and connect it to a receiver. Generally as part of a 5.1 surround sound system.

As long as the sound bar had a pre out for a sub you can. If it doesn't then no.
273357
It may, depending on whether your current sound bar is wired for it or not. If wireless, no.

I don't see why it wouldn't as long as your receiver had an optical out or HDMI out, which most do. Seems like overkill though. Aren't you going the soundbar route to save space and cable runs?
