What cables do you need for this unit? The audio toslink cable?

Not sure what a toslink cable is but the connection options are USB, hdmi, digital optical and RCA. There is only one aux input and the USB so I had to connect my TV via digital optical because I used the one auxiliary for my Sonos. The HDMI from my tv to the unit is only good for use when in DVD mode. had to use optical to for normal cable tv watching through stereo. You could always use the USB a well with a cable that has USB to RCA. That's if you needed connect that's many components

You can use HDMI cable but the ht system keeps switching to DIGITAL IN automatically and you loose your tv picture. It happens over and over and it's annoying!

The HDMI (ARC) cable takes the input/output from the blueray player to your TV HDMI (ARC)input/output. The one cable does everything. The cable rating should be "high speed." I got RCA Digital plus cable. My Samsung TV says with the Audio Return Chanel (ARC) enabled, optical input is disabled.If you do not have ARC available on your TV, you have HDMI but not HDMI (ARC), then you would need both types cable, the HDMI and optical. Only the ARC type sends and receives from both units. That's the way I see it!

If you have a TV with HDMI connection this is the best way to go. HDMI cables carry high bandwidth signal and audio with just one cable. HDMI cable is not provided (I found some great ones on amazon). Your next best option is optical cables to carry your audio signal. At this time one HDMI cable is running my entire system.

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

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.

That's exactly how I use mine. No video, only audio, all toslink. Works great. No signal loss that I can hear. Remote is cheap, but that is standard these days.Marck

I purchased this recently and can answer the audio output question - it is digital toslink only - there are a ton of digital to rca converters for $15 or so if this is a problem.

Sorry I can't answer your question. I am not sure what a TOSLINK port is. All I can tell you is that I used the HDMI port. I suggest that you contact Panasonic for technical questions like this. My sound bar is a great improvement over the TV speakers. I put the bass unit behind the TV, but the lower bass notes are non directional and allow for placement anywhere in the room. If you find the answer to your question please let me know, as I would be interested as well. Add a comment to my review. Thanks.

There's an USB port that comes with the speakers. You can also use the analog 3.5mm cable included. I don't remember if the digital TOSLINK comes too, but it's another option.

you will need xlr cables or you can also use rca cables. I use xlr cables because I go to powered subwoofers and speakers.

Dear Customer,Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable. If the cable is running from your receiver to the TV it should work just fine. You'll need to set the inputs on the TV and receiver to use TOSlink. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

You need the RCA 3.5 mm audio cable (adapter). Attach it to the audio out position on the TV.

The optical cable goes from the digital audio output of the TV to the optical in port of the unit and then your external speakers to audio output ports. Good luck.

all you will need is a vga cable with 3.5mm audio cable combined or by it self if you want audio.And a male to male hdmi cable to your needed length.

The Monoprice DVI & S/PDIF Digital Coax/Optical Toslink Audio to HDMI Converter is designed to take optical as one of the inputs and produce HDMI output so I don't think it's going to solve your application. Have a look at the J-Tech Digital Premium Quality HDMI to HDMI + Audio (SPDIF + 3.5mm Stereo) Audio Extractor Converter (JTDAT5CH). It will take HDMI as an input and generate optical out as one of the options.

I bought this y-cable 2 x RCA Male / 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable, 6 inch and this adapter Digital Audio To Analog Audio Converter, which comes with toslink cable. The problem solved but the price tag is not good for such option.

If your cable is "mini" it should be the same thing. A standard Toslink cable needs an adapter for this unit. If your cable doesn't work as is, the adapter is only a couple of dollars, so it's not like there's a big risk other than time.

If you can use the toslink cable, that's one less HDMI connection you'll use on your tv or receiver. To my knowledge there's no difference in sound data. Also sometimes, sound-only over HDMI is not compatible between devices.

It's all hard wires to this unit. Buy a set of sound bar. It works with the sound bar via optical cable.
