I'm sorry, but since I don't use Chromecast, I can't offer any suggestions.

Basically, you hook speaker to TV, I used optical cable, then put TV on "mute" and turn on speakers with their own remote...then adjust volume, treble, bass surround etc with the speaker remote. Speaker remote also has a mute setting. I also ran a cable from speaker to computer headphone outlet so I could use speaker for my itunes while running computer. Can use same cable to run to my iPad etc if I wanted. These are great speakers and economical.

There is 3 hdmi inputs and one hdmi out (that goes to the tv) so you just plug them all into the bar and you can switch between input via the remote or the button on the bar. I have a chrome cast, xbox, and u verse all plugged into mine. The best thing to do is get a good universal remote with learning capabilities so you can have ONE remote do it all instead of 4

I grabbed my manual (that in itself is a plus) and it has many ports for just about any device you can think of including multiple ways you can hook up a DVD player. So go for it. My TV is still happy sitting on my kitchen counter.

Ronald, Here is an idea. Use an older DVD player that has a coaxial connector input on the back and a RCA or RGB output. I also broke the RG6 Coaxial Cable connector on the back of my TV. I was able to watch my TV through the DVD player. It is a quick fix, but at least your TV will still work.

Right now I only have the vcr/dvd combo player hooked up to the tv as well as the cable tv antenna and I still have three ports left . One is an HDMI port the other is a USB port and the other one says PC-IN RGB . So it looks like you may be able to hook all of those things up to this TV .

I used a wired ethernet cable from the cable companies modem box which plugs into the back of the tv. My tv is mounted on the wall so I had to snake the wire up the wall, along with cable, power lines and hdmi from my bluray player.

You could use it with a cable tuner box, direct TV, slingbox or similar and just connect it with a HDMI cable.

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.

yes I got this device for that exact reason you need an optical cable and then just a pair of RCA and you are set. remember to take the caps off the optical cable before putting in the optical input on the boxes. look for digital optical cable on amazon. I got mine for about $5. good luck. works perfectly.

Yes! Its best to use the remote that comes with it so you can switch to different inputs. I have the Chromecast hooked up myself it works fine. It also displays 1080p if you have a source that plays 1080p such as blu ray, ps4, Xbox one.

No you need to search on Amazon for an HDMI Converter that works with your tv's inputs. Chromecast HDMI to HDMI switch = HDMI output Chromcast HDMI to HDMI Converter = Older TV's get picture

Mine works fine with a cable box -- and an XBOX 360. Don't know about PS4, but so far, it's worked great for everything with an HDMI input.

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.

Your cable box may have 2 output connections run a pair from that to the DVD player you should be okay that way!

The TV is pretty much ready to use on of the box. Although I would recommend something to protect your investment like a surge protector or UPS. If you don't already have an HDMI cable and your cable box/ DVD player has an HDMI output, then you can get it here for under $20. I did, and it works great. If your cable box is not HDTV, then you can buy an antenna to pick up over-the-air HDTV, if it's available in your area...old bunny ears antenna may work. Good luck!

J. L. - you will need a cable box or a satellite box to operate... TAke HDMI from either the boxes mentioned and plug into CoStar HDMI input and HDMI out to the HDMI of TV or for non HDMI use the other cable provided with CoStar... Note: you will need two HDMI cables to connect or one more if you already have one... Remote works well with other devices... Wireless or wired works very well which allows you to surf and use internet....
