Will these device work &amp; make magic and what proper connection and cables needed since Yamaha soundbar YSP 1100 has no HDMI inputs nor outputs.TV does

What this extractor does is to extract the core 5.1 or 2.0 (switchable via a button) audio signal to whatever device that accepts it via a coax cable. I am not familiar with soundbars but if yours accepts a coax cable and can process digital signals, it will work. Whether or not it will "make magic" is hard to say ...

You could use any of the inputs. However, I would use the Optical or HDMI input first; because they would give you the best quality sound with a current sound bar. I would use the analog, stereo input as your last option.

Can't say that I have, I have mine hooked to a yamaha sound bar as well. I would suggest checking your cabling, something may not be making a good connection.

Think of this soundbar as being a replacement for traditional speakers so you'll need an amplifier. If you don't have an amp or your TV doesn't have speaker outputs, you'll want to find a soundbar that has the amp built in and accepts some sort of digital input.

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

So the setup I have is my Blu-ray HDMI into my TV and Optical out from my TV to this soundbar. I'm not sure of your setup but you wouldn't connect them separately into the soundbar. Hope that helps

Yes, this converter will work for your soundbar, however the digital optical audio cable included is such poor quality that it may stop workig after a few week (as mine did). I bought a bluerigger cable on amazon and it works great.

Actually, I don't agree with BarryLee. I just got the SoundBar, and yes it does connect to the TV via HDMI cables, but that only provides sound for the DVD audio. The TV can connect to the subwoofer via a digital coaxial cable, which is not as good as an HDMI, but still good. Can't figure out if I am going to be able to connect my appleTV to the soundbar.

I got mine to work using the arc input. I tried all others and it would not work. Same hdmi cable just a different port on my tv/soundbar.

Ok the device will work you need three cables One For The Output Side And Two For The TV And Xbox The Output Goes Into Your Soundbar Optical Input

I tried multiple splitters and unfortunately none of them worked. I ended up getting a tv that had more than one HDMI inputs and used one optical output to my sound bar.

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.

It should work, you definitely may need the cables or HDMI, but it's worth it...great soundbar!

Yes it should work. I had to buy this because my TV only has optical digital audio out and my old sound bar only has analog RCA input. I tried simply using an RCA to SPDIF cable but that didn't work and had to get this box to make it work.

I forget but I will say this about sound bars.1. Get one that can also do Bluetooth. This was a huge bonus suprise when my kids realized they could pair thier phones and use the soundbar as a full basement sound system2. I don't know if these exist in soundbars but if you find one with audio OUT that would be a plus. This tv only has one audio out... So If you have a soundbar you cannot attach headphones to TV for late night viewing

I have this exact setup and it works fine. My soundbar has optical input, but my headphones are analog, so the second line from the splitter actually goes to an analog converter, which the wireless headphones connect to. Perfect sound in both the soundbar and the headphones.

Very tough call to make. I can't comment on the Yamaha 465 as I haven't used it. I've looked at its info on Yamaha's site and it doesn't seem to indicate pass-through only for its HDMI, which means it may support audio through HDMI, too. But as they say, specs are subject to change without notice. I do have the Onkyo TX-SR507 receiver and it DOES support audio through HDMI as well. I've read a few reports saying that the Onkyo receiver will work great with Bose, Polk, and Yamaha speakers. I'm actually using Yamaha NS-SP1800 5.1 Speaker system that I bought off of Tigerdirect.com for only $119, and to be honest, they rival my parents Bose home theater system. They have an old analog one since they don't have HD. I'm the only one in my family with HD gear, lol! Score one for the kids. I've actually done a lot of research, even Consumer Reports, to find my receivers. Whenever you do receiver shopping, ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM RECEIVERS THAT HAVE ONLY HDMI PASS-THROUGH if you want your audio going through HDMI. Hope this helps. Good luck.
