My Toshiba flat screen TV doesn't have a headphone jack. Is a another cable I can purchase to get the sound bar to work with my cable remote?

You can connect it to the RCA (red/white) on the back of your TV (cable is supplied).

Yes it can. It comes with an adapter to RCA but you can also purchase some if you need a longer one.

mine did not have a problem connecting to Sony headphones-- you may want to try another cable as i read they could be fragile.are you able to attach the sound bar to another tv to be certain its not the problem

Use a digital optical cable from the sound bar to the tv. The second type of cable shown in the instructions is for a dvd player.

Most newer TV's don't have a headphone jack. You would have to check your tv for the type of jack(would e the size of an ipod), and if not you can probably buy an adapter. Bot sure of prices but you could find it here on amazon.

If you TV has a HDMI connection it should work or use the audio out from the TV to the line 1 or 2 connections on the sound bar.

Do you have a cable box? If so, connect the sound bar to your cable box. When you are using the sound bar for your TV put your TV on mute and the sound will come out via the sound bar - That's the instructions tech support gave me and it worked perfect! Good Luck

The RTS735E works completely from analog audio outputs. The sound bar has no concept of HDMI in its design--it depends on the TV for this connectivity. Check your TV's connector panel (on the rear or lower rear) for "Audio Out" RCA jacks. (RCA jacks are smooth round protruding connectors about 1/4 inch in diameter). Check the TV's on-screen menu's audio controls for analog Audio Out options. If the analog Audio Out jacks exist and the TV's audio functions can activate the Audio Out jacks, then the RTS735E will be /electrically/ signal-compatible. You may need to adjust Audio Out parameters on the TV to work best the sound bar. Another issue is compatibility with the remote. The RTS735E comes with a remote, and the RCA TV (being the same brand as the sound bar) may or may not have provisions on its remote to operate the sound bar using the TV's remote, depending on the model TV. If the RCA TV's doesn't accommodate the remote control for the sound bar, the sound bar's remote should work. (Also there is an outside chance the sound bar's remote may also operate the TV's sound functions, depending on the model TV.)

You are almost certainly stuck with using the volume knob on the amplifier. Audio out from the TV is line-level and not subject to the TV's remote. The TV's headphone output may be subject to the TV's remote, but in some cases, such as my Panasonic TV, the headphone level is controlled from a separate menu item. Overall, you are not going to get a fully integrated experience unless you go with a sound bar that has its own remote control infrared receiver, or a full AV receiver setup which becomes the master source for all signals and has its own remote control.

You can use the Mediabridge VGA to component video cable. This cable allows you to use the component input,on the Toshiba, as a computer monitor. Even though their isnt a dedicated PC input on the TV using this type of cable gets around that.

I would like this answer also. I hooked my up to a toslink convertor an no sound came out of the sound bar. Any help?

The black one goes in the right end of the sound bar. It says line in. And the red and white go into the t.v. Sadly I purchased that extra cord but it didn't make the sound bar work with my Toshiba Hdmi tv.

I must have missed this. Vizio sound bars are very common (Costco). The fact that Sony doesn't support it is a major oversight. I'll have to send mine back. Tried the learn code on the remote and it doesn't find a match. Vizio is listed on the TV, just not audio. Too bad.

Unless your tv has the old audio out jacks (red white av) you have to plug it into your cable box or DVD player. I had the same problem and I had to plug it into my cable box audio out jacks. Most newer tv's don't have those jacks anymore. They have the optical audio out jack which I'm not sure this sound bar has. Hope that helps.

It depends on what input jacks you have on your TV - as I recall, this soundbar had both audio L/R (the red and white tipped cables) and a digital connecton (called TOSLink). If you use the TOSLink connection, you'll get better sound quality yet you'll need to buy the TOSLink cable separately. I was never able to get the TOSLink connection to work on mine (I bought the soundbar for my elderly father who had difficulty hearing the TV) so I ended up using the Audio L/R connection.

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)

The tv needs to have an optical out and the sound bar has the optical in, that'll send the sound thru the tv to the sound bar. If your not getting any sound from the sound bar it's probably in the wrong port.

I answered not sure if the answer came thru... any I have a 6300 Samsung w/ sound bar and Mac mini i have an audio out adapter w/ Red and White line so I use the cable that came with the Soundbar. All three are plugged into the back of the unit and only the red/white in the adapter then into the Line Out so Mode is set on Line N THE TV IS SET ON TV speaker. Should be able to find audio out cable. I got mine at Sears (BN39-01154G) try radio shack or amazon. Speaker works great for iTunes or the Smart TV. Good luck.
