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.

On our LG TV, I have to set the TV audio out to LG optical out and it works fine. The generic optical out gives only noise/static.

I have an LG TV...on the back of the TV there is a square-looking boxed-in plug that says "Optical Digital Audio Out" - on mine, the plug and the wording are outlined together. So one end of the cable goes in there, and the other end probably attaches to a similar plug on your sound bar. They don't look like there's an opening, but you just push the plug into the outlet. Wish I could attach a picture to this...

Depending you may not need it. Most optical outputs on TVs are normal size, and this is an adaptor that 'downsizes' the connection to a smaller plug if you need that. First get a normal optical cable with normal size connectors at both ends and try them in both your TV and your sound bar. If they fit great. If one or both the TV and the sound bar need a smaller connection then you will need one of these for connecting to each of the items that need the smaller connection. Hope that helps.

I have an LG and was unable to connect this sound bar to my TV and have it function with the cable. It's all in what you have for inputs. You need analog or coaxial inputs, kind of old school, I think. It has no hdmi or other outputs except the traditional red, black and yellow plugs. My system was already using these for my cable and after consulting with their customer service I was told it wouldn't function with my T.V.

It has standard component ports and an SPDIF port. I use the SPDIF b/c it's just one digital cable, and there is an inexpensive adapter you can use to go from that to the optical (what I do to go to my LG Soundbar). Works great.

I would think you need a standard optical cable as long as the sound bar has optical input. I am using this to send audio from my TV into my receiver.

I have my tv connected to the soundbar with the optical port, and it works for the tv and the cable box. The dvd player I have it connected with the regular red and white cables. Make sure you change the output, if you try with all outputs, then maybe is the optical cable that is bad, or maybe you don't have it connected all the way. Check the connections again. Soryy that is all I can thimk of, I am no expert, but it waorks for me.

Yes this will work, I use it to come from my LG TV (1 optical out) to my center audio LG speaker system (1 Optical in, No out) to an Amp. Works great! Clear no distortion. Result was exactly what I wanted. Greatest result is there is no delay as you sometimes get when connecting to RCA out.

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.

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.

Um, yeah that's a good question. I'm not saying u can't do it bit Not aware of a way to make the device work w/o going through my surround sound either. Honestly, even though I bought the device, sadly I came across the same thing and ended up not using it. However, you might be able to run optical out of th cable box and try that way. I'm really sorry I'm not much help but understand the frustrations

The unit does have one optical input. I would suggest, if your TV supports it, running the cable box to the TV and using the optical out of the TV. However, you could run the optical out of the cable box directly to this unit.

It worked with my sound bar...I bought a samsung sound bar. This part allowed me to use the optic port to plug the sound bar into the tv. With out it, I had to use an Hdmi and couldn't use all of my devices through the sound bar.

Yes, your tv has an optical digital output. Connect the digital cable to the sound bar and you are done.

This sound bar will work with the your tv just fine. The only issue I have had with mine, was that sometimes my tv gets out of sync with the bar, as it doenst have a digital out. For the money, this is a pretty good setup once you get everything situated. It will be a bit longer than your tv. it is about 6 inches longer on both sides than your tv.

If the particular sound bar has HDMI inputs and outputs then yes it should work, but I'm reading the optical connections don't work in that cofiguration
