I used a Digital Audio cable (optical)in the back of the tv to the sound bar. Works just fine.

I purchased a HDMI switch which hooks up to your TV's HDMI port. An"HDMI Switch" has 3 to 4 HDMI extra ports. That should give you enough ports to work with. Hope that helps.

Samsung didn't think it out very well. I used an digital fibre optical cable in the back of the tv and into the sound bar . Works wonderfully.

Mine switches automatically. It reads one device. If you turn on another one, that one takes over. When you turn it off it goes back to the original one, or you can leave both devices on and use the remote to switch between the two. One of my two HDMI inputs on my tv stoped working, so this works great for me.

I connected my unit to my TV's HDMI port. My TV doesn't have an I-port. I didn't use any additional cables

Via VGA. It's the same connection your present monitor is probably already using.

I also had the same dilema, hooking up my xbox and cable box to the reciever. I ran the HDMI from both to my tv, ran an optical out from tv to sony reciever and had awesome sound.. Does kind of suck that there are no HDMI inputs but I still made it work for me.

HDMI TV input audio cutout, just picture. I switched to different HDMI input for tv input.

Well for me the input came in useful as I have 3 devices HDMI compatible and only 2 HDMI inputs on my set. I have my DVR cable box connected to the Samsung receiver via HDMI and the Samsung receiver going to the TV via HDMI. Then I have my PS3 using the other HDMI. And that's what it is all about really. Without the input on the back, I wouldn't have enough inputs to connect everything HDMI.

You need this adapter and an hdmi cable. Plug the cable into the adapter and the other end Into the tv and done.

Mine is hooked up that way plus to a recorder, I just switch the input choice on the TV with the remote to see what's going on outside, your TV has to have the input plugs but most new sets do.

HDMI carries both sound and video.Just plug everything into there respective places in the back panel.Run an HDMI cable from the "out" to your TV and set your TV to the input you have the cable run to and you are done.

Make sure you have your TV input source on the same one your box is connected to

The TV has 5 inputs: HDMI(1), HDMI(2), Video, Component, and a serial PC monitor jack. I only use HDMI(1) and HDMI(2). Here's how I have mine setup. All digital (HDMI and optical) audio and video outputs go to my Surround amp which has multiple HDMI, optical and analog inputs. The single HDMI output of my Surround amp goes into HDMI(1) of the TV. Digital output components going into the surround amp are: DVD, Playstation2 (Blue-Ray player), satellite TV receiver, and desktop PC optical audio output. All analog output audio devices (2 CD players, phono turntable, and 6 reel-to-reel tape decks) go into selectable inputs on my analog pre-amp. The single output of the pre-amp then goes to the surround amp as an analog connection. The only thing missing is the HDMI video output of the PC which goes to HDMI(2) of the TV (this allows me to listen to music and use the computer at the same time). I don't know what "Soundbar" is, but if is has digital or analog audio output it will work. The TV is fantastic - - buy it.

One port, the other is a dvi port which you can buy an hdmi to dvi adapter to make it work.

I do not think this is what you are looking for. It won't help with input to the AV receiver. As for the AV output, this would split that signal into two identical signals, and I'm guessing you don't want to put the same signal into both 1 and 2 hdmi inputs on the TV.

great answer and thanks for the hook-up advice. It is kind of what I figured I'd have to do so I already ordered a third HDMI cable.
