When I try to use this product to connect to my TV it does not work. The light comes on on the sabrent box, but the TV doesn't recognize it.

One thing you need to make sure of is that your computer resolution is set to a resolution that your TV recognizes. You may want to try different resolutions on your computer until you find one that works.

Technically this isn't a support forum but... Are you sure your pc is outputting signal over the VGA, I ask this because I believe there two lights that come on when signal is passed through the device.

The adapter is fine. Try using a hdtv connection and make you have the tv on the right settings. It's like putting you dvd player on the settings .

Sounds dumb but hear me out! Perhaps you didn't fully insert the optical plug into the TV. This slipped me up when I first bought my optical cable years ago and again today with my new EX72. Either the plugs on my cable are a bit too big or the optical ports are crazy tight when they're still brand new, because they seem to have taken the plug, but it takes unreasonable force to get them to actually click in.

It worked on my old tv but could not figure out how to get it to work on my new t.v. i got last year. The connections were different.

Ensure that the correct color connectors on the component end are plugged into the correct TV jacks, verify the switch on the Microsoft connector is set to HDTV, on the TV set the video selection to the appropriate input. Remember that the solid red and white plugs are the left and right audio, if still having problems the cable could be bad. Good luck!

It connects through USB and 3.5mm stereo audio. So if your TV does not have either of those, I think you might be out of luck. Even if it did, I'm not one hundred percent positive that it would be compatible. It is a little small for a TV anyways, I use mine for my desktop, and its perfect size for that. I believe that you will be dissapointed with the product, albeit a good product, if you used it with your TV. There are some much better options for sound bars for the TV, probably for only 40 bucks more. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! Good luck!

My cable did nothing at all when plugged it into the laptop and then to the tv. It is possible I got a bad cable, and it just didn't work. I also got a new tv and the hdmi port on my laptop works when i use an hdmi cable to connect to the tv from the laptop. I didn't bother sending it back or anything because it was so cheap

I plug all the cables and tv including special cables and could not get it to make any sound, tried my other receivers and they worked. After that I could not make it work, so that is why I decided to return it.

The analog Co-axil port on my TV is not broken...the TV works just fine. I currently have an antenna and just need to boost the signal. The signal boost I purchased does not work, but is receiving power from the outlet, but the booster itself does not work. I know this because I tested the power cord send with the amplifier with a mutlimeter. I would prefer to have another amplifier sent, not an antenna and I do not want to convert to HDMI because my TV has no available HDMI ports left.

I tried to connect it to two vizio televisions in my home and NONE worked. The only tv that did work before the slimport totally died was my newer samsung smart tv.

I would check the pins to see if they are broken. Could be a bad cable also check it with another tv if it works fine with another TV could be the settings for the tv.

The problem is probably signal detection by either your tv or cable box. In newer electronics they use DLNA which means that all your electronics recognize each other's circuitry. Since this device is intended to merely be an analog re-route, chances are that this feature is more than this device is actually able to do. I was hoping that it would be have been able to recognize my DVR also, but depending on the models that you're using some cable or satellite providers may be able to furnish you the component that it is compatible with your set up. But as anything it may cost you. I went to my local electronics store and that was the answer I received from the technician. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks.

I had that same problem! I tried different ways of connecting the wires but this light switch didn't work! So I promptly returned it.

Did u plug the adapter into the tablet then plug the power adapter directly into the adapter, once that is done plug the HDMI cable into the adapter and TV set. If that doesn't work send back the product as it maybe defective. PS. You should be using the Samsung brand adapter.

Hello Alicia. I'm confused that you state that your tv is standard definition but capable of high definition. As far as I know, there is no such television. A high definition tv can display standard, but not the reverse. At any rate, I don't think that matters to answer the question if the Roku will work with the Sabrent and your tv. I don't have a Roku, but if it has an HDMI output it should work. Plug the Roku into the Sabrent with an HDMI cable, then plug the Sabrent into the back of your tv with either the RCA (3 plugs) or the S-video (one plug) connectors depending which inputs your television has. S-video is best of the two if it has both. You'll still may need to plug in the L/R sound if you use the s-video.

Yes. I purchased this product though and it did not work, it would hook up to the TV and turn on but it would not read any games I put in it. I tried multiple games none would work.
