I have a soundbar with optical i/o - http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-... can I link it with my phone using 3.5mm

No, this doesn't work that way. It works the opposite. It inputs from an optical signal and outputs an analog signal from the 3.5mm jack. I Don't believe it'll go in the opposite direction. This is what you need:

If your audio has AUX you can use this receiver. It will connect easily with 3.5mm cable.

Yes, the 3.5mm jack can be connected to a PC using either an analog, or appropriate mini Toslink (optical) cable.

Yes. Just buy the 3.5 to 2.5mm adapter you see advertised with this device.

yes 5.1 with optical which only occurs from the device you have connected it to. So for example, if you connect the soundbar to your tv, then you get digital sound from any media that your tv plays. If you then play your xbox you will not get digital, but it does give a good 5.1 representation. So for example, I use my TV as a media player for video playback and get 5.1 sound that way. FYI. Costco have great deal for thanksgiving on this, with $80 off. If I was you, I would get from there, then if you hate it you can always easily return. plus, check out the firmware version. There is an update out there that fixes some of the sound related issues. Firmware update is very simple. http://store.vizio.com/documents/downloads/accessories/S4251W-B4/s4251wb4-firmware-update-guide.pdf

Yes, you can use any 3.5mm cable to connect. It just won't lock in so it might get disconnected if you tug on the cable.

Thats exactly what i use it for. I connect the optical out of my tv to connect a set of speakers with 3.5mm connector

Yes! This will do it, but you will also need an adapter to convert the optical audio.

Yes according to the specs it does include the optical in..http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/HTL2101_F7/soundbar-speaker/specifications

To be honest, I'm not sure only because we use the remote with which the sound bar came. Might be a good question to ask LG, or see if there are programming instructions for the remote to connect with the sound bar

You cannot, they answer this question on their website:https://sewelldirect.com/usb-soundbox-71-and-51-sound-cardQuestion:Could this product be the link between my blu-ray player and my Logitech z506 surround speakers? My blu-ray player has an optical output and my speakers have 3x3.5mm inputs for the 5.1 surround sound.Answer:Unfortunately no, it wouldn't work that way. This converts USB sound from a computer to analog output, it can't convert a toslink to analog output.

do not know, contact LG and they can help you better,the quick sew-up says that you can use a wireless router, so you may be able to use a wireless soundbar, the number for LG Electronics is 1-800-243-0000

Hi Joseph. I used the HDMI out from my Lg HD TV and an Optical out wire from my Blu Ray/DVD player to the LG 47-inch Sound Bar. All works very well.

Yes you can although not as easily. That is, you can connect via the various inputs (optical, coaxial, or RCA auxiliary) and then cycle through the inputs on the remote input button or on the soundbar input button.

Hi Syed,This soundbar can connect to a device if it has bluetooth or through a USB or a headphone output to the audio input on the soundbar. So quite a few ways it can connect. To activate bluetooth on the soundbar, you need to select "BT/O" on the remote and search for it on your device. Contact AV-Express for more information.

You need nothing. You can connect the 3.5 supplied to your computer and then to the 3. 5 jack on the sound bar. The cable is short so a longer cable may be necessary.

i've never done it, but i think you can as long as iphone/ipod is connected to the TV only. there is no usb connection to the soundbar itself.
