Will this work to connect a TV that has a single female RCA S/PDIF digital audio output jack to a sound bar that has left &amp; right female RCA analog audio input jacks if I use my digital audio coax cable that has male connectors at both ends to connect...

No. Your single female RCA S/PDIF output is a digital coax output. It's won't work plugged into a analog RCA input. You should have either a RCA digital coax input or a optical input on your sound bar for receiving digital audio. Alternatively, you can just plug in a pair of stereo RCA cables from the TV to the sound bar. Otherwise, you would need to use something like a SPDIF to analog converter.

I'm not familiar with your soundbar but, this device will convert coaxial digital out from your a source (such as a TV) to analog stereo audio for input to an amp. If your soundbar has the red and white RCA stereo inputs, then this will work. Be advised however that if your amplifier does not have audio delay adjustment capability, the audio the TV (or whatever the source) speakers will most likely be slightly out of sync with the Compass output creating a reverb effect. To eliminate this, just turn off the TV speakers just listening to the soundbar. The lipsync with the video itself will be negligible and could actually be right on as many tvs have the audio just slightly ahead of the video anyhow.

Finding an image of your TV, is looks like there is only a headphone out and coaxial out. So you have two options. 1. The system should have come with a 1/8" to 1/8" (3.5mm), male to male, connection cable to go from the headphone jack on your TV to Aux 1 input on the speaker bar. If not one can be had on amazon for around 5-10 bucks. 2. Or you can get a Digital Coax to Optical Adapter, $13-20. BUT I would suggest the first, as the Pinnacle has no onboard decoding, and you would have to make sure the TV is outputting the COAX to PCM, and is just a mess of cables and adapter.

You will need a mono coax cable to run from your digital output on the tv to the converter input, and a stereo coax cable to run from the converter analog outputs to your sound bar stereo inputs. The converter does not have any volume control. I use it for headphones and the level always borders on the almost too loud. It is like being in a theater where the sound is always amped up.

Hi B. Elstad, If your TV's one audio output port is a 3.5mm style jack, then yes, this cable would work well. However, if your TV has a Digital RCA (Coaxial) output or a Toslink Digital Audio port, then this cable will not work for you.

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.

You must convert the output signal from your TV audio, which is a digital signal over a coaxial cable type to an optical signal with a Toslink cable. The input into the sound bar will only receive an optical signal using the type of cable fitting dedicated for optical signals. I used this exact same converter on my TV and it worked perfectly. It's been installed for nearly a year and has performed flawlessly.

It is my understanding that this device, and I have no reason to doubt it, will convert a digital signal to a 'conventional' signal which is needed for some of our older devices that do not accept 'digital' signal ... I would say this would work for you if your cable device emits 'digital' sound outputs and you want to hook up this to a sound bar etc., that does not accept a digital signal ... works great for me!

It depends on whether the coaxial port on your tv is input or output. If the coaxial for your tv is for sound output, then yes. If the coaxial plug for the back of your tv is input, then no, this device will not work. My sound bar is fed by my bluray's coaxial cable, which goes through this device, and then to my sound bar with an optical cable. In summary, if your TV's coaxial port in your TV is for 'output' then yes, this device will work. My TV has no output ports, so that's why I run mine from my blu-ray. Hope this helps.

It should. However you will want to check with your TV manual to confirm if all inputs will output to the coaxial out. On my 2009 RCA model TV it will but surround is not passed through on HDMI but is if you are watching ota via an antenna it will. I can confirm this works to convert 5.1 DD Coax to spdif optical out with no delay.

It should work for that purpose. At this time I am not using my coax cable input at all and have this converting my coax cable to red, white and yellow RCA inputs on my TV.

The D/A converter unit has standard RCA jack outputs which can be connected to any analog preamplifier, amplifier or low-level tape-style (250mV) inputs. So the sound data flows from TV (digital) to the optical OR Coaxial cable connected to the D/A converter. The analog outputs then can connect to any powered speaker unit or amp with analog (unbalanced) RCA connections. If the "soundbar" has an analog input, it should work. Many have digital coax or optical inputs, and in this case, the D/A converter is completely unnecessary.

I wouldn't recommend it. Check the impedance rating of the soundbar. If it's not 6 or 8 ohm, then it's not meant to take input signal from the amplifier. The soundbar is expecting digital sound signal from a TV. Not meant to be hooked up to speaker outputs from the amplifier.

I am working with the same TV and found out that a single regular RCA cable to the digital audio output (black color) connector to a similar single digital audio in RCA jack (Such as the one on a Bose V35) does work. The setup I'm working with has no cable box, just a coaxial cable TV cord going directly into the TV with no separate tuner system. I was able to get surround sound to work to a 5-speaker system. I would like to see how a gold coaxial RCA-type connector with a solid core (as opposed to stranded) does to deliver better audio. If I get to do that, I'll update here. Sharp might have confused coaxial cable like the kind that delivers TV signal from the cable TV company with coaxial audio cable.

Note for earlier response the adapter used connects to Audio out of the TV and you connect the sound bar male end into the Female end of the adapter which I did not see yet on Amazon.

That's probably not going to work since there is only one output source for the speakers - and those are for the speaker wires. the coax, component video, and optical cable are all inputs, only one hdmi output to connnect to your tv, the rest of the hdmi are all input from your other devices as well. do some search you may find a coax output for speakers, but it may be difficult because a lot of newer receivers are either hdmi, optical, component video and even bluetooth.

Yes and no. It will work with the headphone jack on the tv, but if you are looking for a soundbar, this is not the solution. This is great for computer sized monitors or to travel with. Not for surround sound.
