Will this work to connect a TV that has a single female RCA S/PDIF digital audio output jack to a sound bar that has left & right female RCA analog audio input jacks if I use my digital audio coax cable that has male connectors at both ends to connect the TV to the adapter and the adapter to the sound bar?

No. Your single female RCA S/PDIF output is a digital coax output. It's won't work plugged into a analog RCA input. You should have either a RCA digital coax input or a optical input on your sound bar for receiving digital audio. Alternatively, you can just plug in a pair of stereo RCA cables from the TV to the sound bar. Otherwise, you would need to use something like a SPDIF to analog converter.

"If you had 2 outputs (usually they're composite outputs made for RCA jacks) a computer system like this would be useless with your TV."So if I have anything other than a headphone jack, I can't use this for TV speakers? How exactly do I listen to audio from video discs or tapes if I can't use the RCA jacks? Is the same true for HDMI connection of a Blu ray player to a TV?

There are three output ports on this soundbar--two are Optical Digital and one is Digital Audio Coax. Here are the exact cables I purchased: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LT2C5W/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J2B8I/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The one specifically labeled as TV on the soundbar is one of the optical ones, but if your TV doesn't have that type of port, you can use the coax one and remember to hit the right button on the soundbar/remote when you use it. Hope this helps!

I am working with the same TV and found out that a single regular RCA cable to the digital audio output (black color) connector to a similar single digital audio in RCA jack (Such as the one on a Bose V35) does work. The setup I'm working with has no cable box, just a coaxial cable TV cord going directly into the TV with no separate tuner system. I was able to get surround sound to work to a 5-speaker system. I would like to see how a gold coaxial RCA-type connector with a solid core (as opposed to stranded) does to deliver better audio. If I get to do that, I'll update here. Sharp might have confused coaxial cable like the kind that delivers TV signal from the cable TV company with coaxial audio cable.

The cable you have shown is a sub woofer cable which is designed for the low level sounds (Base) and the Digital Coaxial is for all other surround sound channelsfor maximum surround sound connection. I have them both and they are fantastic cables. Mediabridge cables are incredibly priced and the quality of the cables are great. I don't think you will find a better cable for less.The back of your Blu-ray or cable box you will see Digital Coax out and on your receiver or sound bar you will see Digital Coax input, they are the female RCA Orange connections.

I'm assuming you mean that you want to use this cable to chain two amplified speakers together. If that's not correct, please clarify and I'll alter my response. But, in my opinion, I'm not sure if this configuration will work. I would assume that your speakers have a female XLR for the input. Due to that fact, I'm not sure if this would work if you were attempting to daisy chain the speakers in line. However, if you were trying to run two separate lines from a single output of a soundboard (assuming it was a mono output or you are running two left or right channel speakers for some reason), this should work. The point being, the input signal into this cable should be the female end, and the output signal should be coming out of the two male ends.

This didn't work for me. I have a TV with a digital output and a sound bar with rca inputs and optical inputs. I ended up buying a digital to optical converter for twenty five bucks. It works good.

There is an optical output in the TV , the optical input from sound bar should be connected to the optical output of the TV. I am not sure if this will work with other TV. I think if there is an optical output, it may work.

There are two specs for this kind of audio--optical and coaxial. The optical terminal is flat on three sides and curved on the fourth side. If both your TV and cable box have such inputs, this cable will work fine (although this particular one is only 3 feet long, I think). Coax inputs look more like normal RCA inputs (round)-if your digital connectors are coax this cable won't work for you. Best I can tell you without seeing your setup!

Only if it's a DIGITAL COAX rca-type input (the digital coax input jacks look identical to analog RCA jacks except they're orange instead of red or white). Even then, I can't be sure it will work for you, as this item did not work for me at all.

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.

Hello Mack, Thank you for your inquiry. The HiDEF Wireless Bluetooth TV Sound Bar Speaker System comes with RCA inputs and a 3.5mm audio cable input. If your TV has either of these connections as an audio out connection it will be compatible (if your TV has a audio out connection that is different from a 3.5mm Auxiliary cable or RCA, a converter may be required). Sincerely, Accessory Genie Customer Service

Yes and no. It will work with the headphone jack on the tv, but if you are looking for a soundbar, this is not the solution. This is great for computer sized monitors or to travel with. Not for surround sound.

Sandra, Many of today's quality Audio Bars will have a digital optical audio port, and this television has an audio output that supports it. There are so many options available, do you have any specifications that you're looking for? --Mr. S

This adapter is designed to plug into a 1/8 inch phone jack. Only If your TV has an 1/8 inch audio output jack would it fit. RCA audio output jacks were pretty much standard until recently. My recently new Vizio only has a digital audio output.

I got this to do the same and it appears that it did not work for ME going from my 2012 Mitsubishi 92" DLP 3D R.P big-screen Digital Coaxial to RCA (Red,White output ) inputing it to my new Samsung Home Theater system 3D-Blue-ray and I still got no sound.... My next try is the Digital coaxial converter to Optical input on the Home Theater, I hope this helps you. I wish us both luck.. Greg

This HDMI adapter works for adapting the HDMI(Digital) signal to a Component(Red, Blue, Green-Analog) and stereo out(Red, White- Audio). Unless your TV has component input then you would only be able to use the audio stereo from this adapter. There are different converters out there that are able to convert HDMI(Digital) to composite(S-Video) or to an RCA(Yellow-Analog) format. I hope this helps. Good luck.
