There are 2 sets of RCA outputs to a receiver, one after the built-in preamp and one with pre-amplification.

Sorry but my english is very bad, whatever, I'll try to help you, what kind of cable are you use to output the audio? HDMI, Optical?

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

Unfortunately I can give you no answer regarding this question. I am using the HDMI inputs/outputs. My unit has 4 HDMI in and 2 HDMI out. I do not recall my unit having optical outputs.

Blu-Ray to HDMI and the sound bar using the Digital Audio out. That's how I have mine. Works fine but not too impressed with the sound quality of the speakers. Ok if used with TV speakers.

The red & white RCA cords to the back of your receiver and a digital optical cable to your TV. (If you have a digital out in your TV and an older receiver that doesn't have a digital input.)

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

if sound sys has rca out or in....???? PC in or out... must pass through what your are trying to do, but quality won't be high Price is reasonable to try... My denon receiver is good at passing through rca or HDMI. USB may need to be 3.0 or higher...

Does your cable box have an optical out? If so you might be able to use that as your output to the sound bar.

Armand S., What options do you have on the back of your audio system? RCA/3.5mm? Optical Audio? --Mr. S

I used my optical audio output on my tv to get sound from my wii. Everything else comes from the hdmi inputs.Cable box (Input SAT), roku ( input dvd), and buleray player(input BD) all hooked up hdmi to the sony tower then hdmi to tv.Wii hooked up with component connectors to tv then a optical audio cable from tv to sony tower (input TV).

That's strange, so it says 3 HDMI outputs but really that's not true huh? Is there such a thing as a receiver that actually as 3 outputs for video as this would imply? Seems like false advertising if it's not true.

You can use a TOSLINK cable to get your sound from your receiver, that is IF your antiquated receiver is capable doing such. Many modern receivers can actually play the video and the sound through the HDMI cable.

Essentially you will connect your cable/satellite providers HDMI cable to the receiver then run your main "out" HDMI to your TV. In short, HDMI carries audio along with video. If your cable/satellite box provides it, connect the SPDIF cable (optical) to the receiver. Just know there is only one SPDIF plug in, so pick whatever you want to have the best clarity in audio (bluray/tv/game system etc).

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.
