One cord, Right? Does this cord hook up to the optical connection on my Vizio HD TV and other end to the sound bar?

It's the very thin optical wire that comes with sound bar that goes from sound bar to optical output on your TV. The sound bar instructions will show you a diagram. You just need to find (identify) the optical outlet on you TV. Then of course you have the power cord for sound bar to wall outlet. Hope this helps

It does come with an optical cable, and yes it goes directly between the bar and the tv. It also comes with several other cables to suit your hd tv should it not have that port.

Yea , they give you two sets of cables, the old conventional " Red and White' tipped RCA cables and the fiber optic cable which is what we used.

yeah it comes with a few different cords, the optical cord being one of them, that is how my Vizio LED TV is hooked up to the sound bar

No it doesn't. The input is std. L & R RCA female plugs. I bought a cable from Best Buy that plugs into the stereo output on my tv and splits into L&R male RCA plugs. I have a fiber optic output but I can't use it with this soundbar. But I am curious if the sound will be better or different with the optic.

Your question needs more specific details. this is an hdmi splitter it will automatically switch to the active hdmi source. So for example your roku, bluray player and cable box can plug into this and then this can go into your TV. if you have a sound bar you should be connecting it with an optical cable or analog audio cable. i recommend the optical. As far as connections you can hook up the bar to your cable box directly or to the tv directly. it would be helpful if we knew what devices and tv u had how many hdmi ports as well as what your over all goal for connectivity is.

No, optical cords are for audio only. Usually people will run component video, or S video. If you're going to do the HDMI there's no need for the optical.

No.Optical cable connection to TV or other source. Separate volume control.

it does not. It has two inputs, a optical digital cable and a headphone sized 1/8th jack. I bought a very inexpensive bluetooth receiver from amazon and plugged it into 1/8' jack on the soundbar for music from iPhone and iPads...all the rest of the devices (blu-ray player, Apple TV, Direct TV DVR) that go into TV via HDMI are pushed out of TV and into soundbar via the optical cable (included) I think this is a much better idea than making the soundbar a HDMI switch of sorts. I see the optical out on all the flat screens around these days by the way...this soundbar sounds great, it replaced a large 5.1 system that didnt work in new family room.

It's all hard wires to this unit. Buy a set of sound bar. It works with the sound bar via optical cable.

It has standard component ports and an SPDIF port. I use the SPDIF b/c it's just one digital cable, and there is an inexpensive adapter you can use to go from that to the optical (what I do to go to my LG Soundbar). Works great.

I really don't know how the sound bar is connected. I used my pigtail to connect a DVD recorder and a Blu Ray player to the same HDMI jack. It works fine that way. Of course, I can only use one at a time--either the Blu Ray player or the Recorder/player.

Yes is should work out fine.... I had my Roku hooked up to HDMI 1 then I had my xbox hooked up on HDMI 2 ( also used as my DVD player ) and then just had the normal antenna hooked up for free TV over the air via coax and I run everything from my optical out to the soundbar, so no matter what input your on the optical should play all... Hope this helps.

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.

It worked with my sound bar...I bought a samsung sound bar. This part allowed me to use the optic port to plug the sound bar into the tv. With out it, I had to use an Hdmi and couldn't use all of my devices through the sound bar.

I would think you need a standard optical cable as long as the sound bar has optical input. I am using this to send audio from my TV into my receiver.

no it comes with optical audio wire you plug in to your hd tv. this unit is for sound not video

There are basically two inputs on this. One is an optical and the other is rca. My tv has an optical out, so everything runs through my television then out to my sound bar. That way if you just want to use the sound from the tv you can.

I'm not with a cable provider, i conected the soundbar to the tv via optical cable. I have not had any problems with that set up.

I am uncertain. I have it hooked to my Vizio TV via an optic audio cable...
