Sorry for not answering sooner. My TV has coaxial OUT and my sound system has digital IN. It won't work in your case. The reason I use this one is that TV has terrible sound and I get OTA programming; so I use my home theater to listen to the TVs sound.

Only if your cable box has an optical Audi output. My Panasonic tv I believe has one, so I Ron the satellite receiver to the tv then the tv to the soundbar, or possibly the satellite out to the soundbar. It's been too long that I can't remember to be honest.

Hi Shawn.... I have mine hooked up to DISH also and to my audio / video receiver. I do believe if your sound bar has optical outlet you should be fine. :)

Actually I'm using the optical audio output from my Sony tv to the optical input of the sound bar...not sure why it wouldn't work when using the red/white output from your tv into the soundbar...all I did was hook it up and turn my TV speaker off...make sure the blue light is lit up on the soundbar when powered up...

The sound bar is strictly analog, that is, it has no digital (Toslink) connector. If your TV has an analog output for headphones you can connect the sound bar that way, otherwise you have to use a digital-to-analog audio converter.

Yes with a converter. The one I used is ViewHD Toslink Optical Audio Splitter 1x3 | One Input to Three Outputs | VHD-TS1X3. Input from Optical audio out from the TV and 1 output to my sound bar another to a DBTech Digital to Analog Audio Converter with Digital Optical Toslink and S/PDIF Coaxial Inputs and Analog RCA and AUX 3.5mm (Headphone) Outputs hooked up to the base unit. Much better sound than from the headphone output from the TV. Doing it with the splitter means it is always set up, if you have 2 optical outputs on your TV you don't need a splitter.

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)

If I understand the question you will have multiple devices hooked up to your TV via HDMI and you will use an optical audio cable to connect to the sound bar to play sound from the TV. Yes, the sound will play fine. I have the same set-up for mine. You just need to make sure the "function" is switched to "optical" on the sound bar to have it work.

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.

It depends upon your TV model, and whether it has multiple inputs and sound out. That is how I have it set up, all inputs drive with sound to TV, which has Sound Out to the soundbar. Sounds great!

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.

Dear Manas, Thank you for your question regarding our Toslink Cable. From our research, the cable should be able to plug in to the ports on your Tv and your soundbar without any additional work needed. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLCService@bluerigger.com

Once your TV has RCA-type outputs and you have a 2-RCA jack to 3.5mm (male) cable, this sound bar will work. This is the set-up I currently have and is quite adequate for my needs, I set up the sound bar above the TV so I get nice sound spread.

Hi James, Great question and great answers from these folks. Optical would be the likely way as the guys below mention. If you do not have optical in the TV (unlikely) then digital coax would work or you can go directly from the DVD/cable/satellite box with these audio cable to the soundbar. Contact AV-Express for further assistance.

Nope. This is an optical (digital) audio cable. Your sound bar is an analog input.

Check to see if your 3.5mm jack is optical out. If so, this will work. Most TVs only have the TOSLINK connector for optical. Otherwise, you'll want to go with that.

As long as your receiver has a digital optical out if not I'm sure your receiver has auxillary outs in which case the sound bar also has av in on it ( the red and white plugs)
