How do I get digital audio out? I can see an optical audio out but no digital audio out at the rear of this TV. Can someone tell me where I can find it if there is one available.Thanks.

OK Thanks. That info helps. I did not know monoprice sold a device like that.

Optical out is one of two digital audio types of output -- the other is coaxial. So optical out actually is digital out.

Sorry, I actually meant digital coax out. Is there a digital coax out?Thanks.

nope -- but you can get an adapter from monoprice.com for about twelve dollars -- search for Optical "Toslink to Coaxial (RCA) Digital Audio Converter", product id no 2948Hope this helps

anon4, what standards do you want to see in HDTV and please elaborate on some of these bugs that you mention? Also, I belive this has a component output, which I believe is analog? Buying an analog only TV would not be a very bright idea considering that all TV broadcasts will have to be digital in the near future.

The back of the speaker has 2 types of connectors. 1. RCA- this is your red, white and yellow connectors. 2. Digital in- this is the new optical cable. There is also a third connection on the side. This is the 3 channel audio connector for head phone type cable. These are all available at radio shack. The back of your TV should have all the phone type connector. Just get the cable that changes this TO RCA. IF you want to try the digital sound you just need to pick up the cable. Check your tvfor this

Not being one to use that feature, I had to check for myself. And to confirm what has been answered previous, there's 2 audio out ports, 1 for analog audio, and the other for digital audio [optical].

The only way I've been able to get sound from this bar is to plug it into the headphone-out jack. That way you'll get sound from whatever comes through your TV. Very disappointed that the digital optical cable doesn't work. Also, after setting the clock, the time doesn't advance.

There is Audio out at the back of the TV Screen. Simply plug that to the input on the receiver.

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0. Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up.

Rod, There is both a digital optical and analog (3.5mm) audio output on this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Hello,Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right?Thanks for any info.

I wanted to do the same. bought the headphones because I misunderstood this answer. called tech help. you can't do this if you have a newer model digital TV like I do. there is no audio output on the TV and my TV receiver system is wireless which also doesn't have an audio out. so I have to plug the receiver into my TV headphone outlet which means there is no sound other than what is coming from the headphone. so every time I watch the TV with my husband in bed and he falls asleep, I must get out of bed and plug in my headphones. (My TV has a DIGITAL audio out (USB port) which is NOT compatible with this headphone). also the cable is too short to put the receiver on my nightstand (need to purchase an extension)(still have to get in/out of bed to plug/unplug the audio cable) true in the morning too if you both want to wake up and both watch TV in the morning in bed

My TV did not have variable digital audio out. I think most TVs now are the same. So you have to use just the volume on the sound bar, The output you hooked to the sound bar needs to be variable audio.

There is NO analog audio out on this monitor. It does, however, have a DIGITAL audio out (coaxial). There MAY be a way to take this and convert it to stereo line out. You can find such a unit at http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Coaxial-Toslink-Converter/dp/B007S6U7I4 . Just use a digital audio coaxial cable to go from the digital out from this monitor, and hook it up to the input of this box, attach a DC power supply, and hook the outputs to a line input on an amplifier. Today's PC speakers take line level signals. With some adapters, you can connect the output of this box to the input of PC speakers. This would probably get around HDMI related woes. With HDMI, video and audio are routed TOGETHER. This can be a mess if you want to route your sound to good speakers or even a good stereo system. By the way, the Emerson monitor that I have is another one that I bought previously. When I ordered another one, there was only one left, and it got damaged. I was given another brand and model for the same price. From John Nozum

In reading the review for a new LG HDTV (37") it says that in order for external speakers to be hooked up to that TV, a fiber optical cable is needed. Is this the type he might be referring to? What is the correction to the problem with them falling out, I really don't understand it? Wouldn't it be better to just buy the cheapest ones that still fit correctly? (Sorry, I need to get answers to all of these before making the BIG purchase!)

If you have a single (yellow) digital audio (SPDIF) "out" jack on the TV, that is specifically for a digital audio "in" jack on another component. Pretty much every TV also has red and white audio out jacks. Those are what you connect to the sound bar. Alternatively, many TVs have an optical (Toslink) jack for audio out. I believe that your sound bar has one too. That would be preferable. AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

My receiver does not have HDMI and no HD audio. What I do is connect HDMI from the A-400 to my Tv directly and audio to the receiver through optical cable. 7.1 audio is amazing. Like I said, check the A-400 forum for HD audio. It is a huge resource of practical information.I use the A-400 with a 80" 3D TV and I still can't believe how great it looks.The only reason I don't buy one more is because the iPad browser works so well that I can browse my movies, ratings etc from anywhere, pick what I want to see and then manually select that movie on any of my old media players.

Does your blu ray player have the setting for the Audio Out set as Optical Cable. I know my PS3 Has the Video out as HDMI, and Audio Out as Optical. So Basically Same set up as you, but no HDMI from Home Theater to TV as I use my PS3 to play DVD's.

My relatively new TV didn't and doesn't have "audio out" outlets either. I simply used the "digital audio out" outlet on the TV and connected it with a single cable (which probably came with the TV EARS Speaker - I can't remember) to the optical audio outlet on the TV EARS transmitter. I'm guessing that your new TV has a digital or optical outlet instead of the older audio out outlets as well .... but obviously this is just a guess on my part. Good luck!
