You need an HDMI cable. Here's one for less than $4: HDMI (2 meter) 6 foot cable HQ 1080P 1.3b

Hello from Mediabridge...Joshua, I saw your question and thought I would answer since Amazon doesn't typically respond to discussion board posts.HDMI cables are used to connect compatible components such as television and dvd player. HDMI cables will provide digital audio and up to 1080p throughput if they are "High Speed" rated. If you have a 1080p television and a Blu-Ray player, you should be using an HDMI cable to connect them, yes. Be prepared to be amazed. 1080p pictures are breathtaking if you haven't seen them before.

I used standard "RCA audio/video cables" (you can see what these look like by searching Amazon for "Video Cables" in electronics) . I needed some longer cables so I went to my local RadioShack. These are available at most stores.These are not applicable to HD TVs. I don't know if there are adaptors available for that type of connect. Hope this helps.

Thanks Richard! I'll try the reboot first. I almost bought a Roku but needed a dvd player so just got that. So I can hook up the Roku and still have the blu ray player while using the Roku for streaming?I appreciate your advice!

What are you connecting the TV to? You'll need a HDMI cable for each one. My cable company included an HDMI cable with my box without additional charge. It works fine. I think it's 6' long. You might want to talk to your cable or satellite provider to see if they can give you one. If you have a DVD/Blue ray player that has an HDMI output then you'll need to get another cable for that. Check the back to make sure it has an HDMI jack first. Models over a year or so old may only have component inputs. A 6 foot cable should work fine. HDMI is so easy...one cable to connect to the TV and they only fit in one way.

I had the same issue. use an Analog output audio cord or the Co-axial audio output cord to connect the Soundbar directly to your tv. I ended up just plugging the Optical connection from the Soundbar into my Blu Ray player. I used an Analog output audio cord that I had laying around in my house to connect the soundbar to my TV. If you don't have an analog or co-axial cord, be sure to buy one because this soundbar doesn't provide either for you.

Hi there, there is no sort of manual and should work immediately as it did with my blu ray player. I hope this helps, and if it's the wrong one, sent it back and hopefully you find the correct one

Robert, this is an interface adapter only, I did not connected it to Blu-Ray drive, but I recomend you to find another adapter with the power Jack separated. God bless you.

Once you set up the adapter through the steps in the instructions just connect it to the Blu-ray player. You don't have to setup the Blu-ray player first.

It came with basic (RCA cables), but I had to buy a HDMI cable and because my TV's HDMI didn't support ARC (supported HDMI video, but not HDMI audio), I also had to buy an optical cable as well. If when you plug in the HDMI you get no sound, you'll need to buy the optical cable and go into the Setup on the Blu-ray player and turn off the ARC configuration.

I have mine connected to a Samsung HDTV and Samsung Blu-Ray player. It comes with a manual. Set-up was quick and easy. I cannot address your situation and suggest you call them directly @1-800-377-7655. They will be happy to help you. Tech support is wonderful.Merry Christmas,KFYSMAN

You need a source to plug into one of these. You'll need either a router or a switch. Take the cable currently plugged into your computer, plug that into the switch/router, and then from the switch/router, you can plug one cable into your computer and a second cable into one of these units, which is plugged into the wall. The other unit will be plugged into the wall near your blu-ray, with a cable connecting that second unit to the blu-ray.

If the blu ray player has a wired network connection port in the back, yes this cable will most likely work. It is a 100 foot long cable with standard, identical, RJ45 type connectors at both ends. (This is like a telephone cable jack, only larger) Just make sure that the length is right. So, one end of the cable will be connected to the back of the bluray, the other end to an available port on your network router.

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 sound bar has TWO optical inputs, so just hook up the optical cable from your blu-ray player to the second input. And BTW, your blu-ray player will be connected to your HDTV via an 'HDMI' cable, NOT RCA cables. If you use RCA cables, you will only get standard definition video and audio!!

No. The orange cable is not an optical/fiber optic cable cable (Toslink). The Toslink cable has to connect to a Toslink connection at each end.The Orange receptacle has to use a matching orange receptacle on both ends (it is basically a copper wire connection, digital output from the Blu-Ray to digital input at the AV receiver).The Blue Ray Player probably also has an HDMI 'out' connection. If your AV receiver has an HDMI 'in' connection, this is the best way to go.Cheers,

This cable is for digital sound. Usually blue ray players only have an HDMI port. This cable is more for surround sound setups, which is why I bought it.
