If the TV audio output jack is OPTICAL, then there must be a conversion cable--OPTICAL to RCA JACKS sold separately?

That's the point of the Digital to Analog convertor product. You would just plus your standard cables into the convertor.

Must be a typo the optical jack is a 1 x Digital S/PDIF ( toslink up to 5.1) channelOutput

Any newer TV will have an audio out port. Usually they'll have Optical also called TOSLINK. sometimes though it's only the old RCA red and white style. get yourself one of the type of cable that you need and then run that from your TV to your receiver

Does your cable box have an optical out? If so you might be able to use that as your output to the sound bar.

Yes, the optical digital input has to be connected to a digital source. TVs nowadays all have these outputs. Some older TVs also have them as well. You can use the analog stereo mini Jack to connect to computers through the headphone / speaker line out.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

mary miller, Yes, provided your TV has an audio output that supports either digital optical, or analog out ports. Do you have an audio output on the back of your set? --Mr. S

The digital optical audio cable I purchased works just fine with my LG tv and LG sound bar. I had to use the audio optical output because the tv did not have any other audio output to hook up the sound bar. I have no RCA vs. digital optical audio comparison but, like I said, the cord worked fine.

Sounds like what you need. My application required going from the orange RCA coax type on the TV and converting to the fiber optic type on the soundbar. It all works fine, but the converter does not come with either the coax cable or the fiber optic cable.

If you have a single (yellow) digital audio (SPDIF) "out" jack on the TV, that is specifically for a digital audio "in" jack on another component. Pretty much every TV also has red and white audio out jacks. Those are what you connect to the sound bar. Alternatively, many TVs have an optical (Toslink) jack for audio out. I believe that your sound bar has one too. That would be preferable. AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

I don't have an optical source on my television. I was using the coaxile cable and the other cables supplied with the unit.

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

The sound system does not require optical cable setup. RCA (red/white) cables will work just as well.

correct. and I am told that any regular old RCA cable will do. One other thing,though. I discovered that my TV's optical coax out is not always hot. It is not hot if the input is from a HDMI cable. That's a TV-specific issue. Might want to check yours to be sure. Have fun.

This will take the sound from digital coax and digital toslink (optical) to the standard RCA (red/white) output. You will have to buy the cables to go with it (Optical cable and RCA cable) but yes it will work for you.

There are many adapters in the market Here is one : Digital Optical Coaxial Toslink Signal to Analog Audio Converter Adapter RCA L/R You can get it on amazon or ebay

Run an optical cable from TV audio out to soundbar audio in...then whatever is playing on TV is routed to soundbar, unless it's a very old TV that only outputs optical from it's own off-air tuner.
