I am looking to have my TV in my bar play the exact same image as my main tv(same room). Will this Device solve that problem? What would I need?

This is a switch which lets you select between various video sources, not a splitter to send the same signal to different places. You want the latter.

You'd probably be better off buying a signal splitter than this switch. This device shares more properties with a USB hub where in you take one input, and turn it into several different ones. It only detects/uses one signal at a time, a splitter would probably increase the amount of TV's you could also hook up (to display the same image) in the future.

I have the same issue. This was not made for a TV setup the way its advertised. You will need the separate receiver and speakers for optimal results.

It is my understanding that this device, and I have no reason to doubt it, will convert a digital signal to a 'conventional' signal which is needed for some of our older devices that do not accept 'digital' signal ... I would say this would work for you if your cable device emits 'digital' sound outputs and you want to hook up this to a sound bar etc., that does not accept a digital signal ... works great for me!

I have my TV connected to the Soundbar via optical as well and it works fine. I had to buy the cable separately though. I would think that HDMI is all you need since the Soundbar acts as an HDMI hub.

Damn great question and exactly the one I had about the same TV. Should've researched this on my own prior to ordering it, but thankfully it should work. Thanks guys!

Yes, in this case, your TV output is the weakest link and is down-converting all of your content to 2.1. In order to get true 5.1, you'll need to connect each of your devices separately. I ran into this exact problem :(.

Yes. I use mine the same way (sometimes using both TVs) and it works great.

That'll work. What I did since I have multiple things connected to my tv (gaming system, satellite, blue ray player), I have all these things connected to my tv via HDMI cable with the tv connected to the soundbar via optical cable; I get to utilize the soundbar for all my connections this way.

That is what I bought this for, monitoring 2 tv's. The picture was great but I had no sound. (don't know why). I had previously bought a splitter for another room and it worked great, and thought that was what I was ordering. I think getting a splitter not a switch would be what you might want.

JUL, Most on the market - and almost every Samsung Audio Bar - will work just fine with your TV. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Great question, I honestly don't know.Basically, you're saying you have some composite devices (instead of component devices). Unless you're going to use it strictly for composite devices, I'm not sure how it would work. Meaning, you'd have to hook it up to your TV to where you're using only a red/white (audio) and yellow (video) cable.

Jim, i have this unit and hdmi is finicky so i couldn't get it to work. So no big loss. Instead, use fiber optic audio output of tv to feed optical input of soundbar and all will be good. Regards, Greg

This sound bar will work with the your tv just fine. The only issue I have had with mine, was that sometimes my tv gets out of sync with the bar, as it doenst have a digital out. For the money, this is a pretty good setup once you get everything situated. It will be a bit longer than your tv. it is about 6 inches longer on both sides than your tv.

At the minimum I would suggest a sound bar--strongly suggest connecting tv to a smart receiver with surround sound. Don't get cheap now you already spent the money for a quality picture ---get the sound to match!

It has A/V output - composite video plus analog audio. If your TV has the red/white/yellow RCA jack input, it will work. Obviously, the image will only be as high a resolution as your set is capable (probably 480I) but it will work quite well. I don't know about playing local content. Probably not, or they would tout that feature. It seems most of these boxes anymore are just for streaming - manufacturers either assume nobody wants to watch their own movies anymore, or, more likely, the idea is to steer you toward (preferably PPV or subscription) streaming services.

Hello again Ronald! That would depend on the capabilities of your TV as not all TV's support network connectivity via HDMI. Do you have a active connection in this area? If so, I would suggest that you install a switch and hardwire your TV, Marantz surround receiver and any other devices you have to the network for maximum performance. We're here to help so please let us know if you have any additional questions! Thanks again, Scott G and the rest of the ListenUp sales team 1.877.744.1179

You must convert the output signal from your TV audio, which is a digital signal over a coaxial cable type to an optical signal with a Toslink cable. The input into the sound bar will only receive an optical signal using the type of cable fitting dedicated for optical signals. I used this exact same converter on my TV and it worked perfectly. It's been installed for nearly a year and has performed flawlessly.
