I hook up my soundbar and speakers into amplifier, they work together, but it can't be controlled with one remote control which was my intention.

The Optical out from the TV needs to connect into a splitter with an optical in . From that point on just connect each line out from the splitter into each box.Let me know what it sounds like? You will need 3 optical connections plus an optical splitter (1 in and 2 out)

I think will work. It works for me with one port to a sound bar and the other port to a headphone. They both work at the same time. So it should work with two sound bars

mine is hooked to an amplifier to use as a tuner and surround sound which operates 5 speakers, so I guess if it were hooked up like that you could...hope this helps

To clarify, the receiver can output video to 2 TVs at the same time, but not audio. I have this setup now. I have the ONKYO receiver sending video to my main TV as well as to my bar TV. Sound goes through the receiver speakers, not the TV.

It depends upon your TV model, and whether it has multiple inputs and sound out. That is how I have it set up, all inputs drive with sound to TV, which has Sound Out to the soundbar. Sounds great!

Yes with a converter. The one I used is ViewHD Toslink Optical Audio Splitter 1x3 | One Input to Three Outputs | VHD-TS1X3. Input from Optical audio out from the TV and 1 output to my sound bar another to a DBTech Digital to Analog Audio Converter with Digital Optical Toslink and S/PDIF Coaxial Inputs and Analog RCA and AUX 3.5mm (Headphone) Outputs hooked up to the base unit. Much better sound than from the headphone output from the TV. Doing it with the splitter means it is always set up, if you have 2 optical outputs on your TV you don't need a splitter.

Ok. The way I have mine set up is, I used the supplied OPTICAL AUDIO cable, connected from the TV to the sub woofer. This way, everything that would be coming out of the TV speakers, are coming out of the sound bar and the sub woofer in amazing sound quality.

Have you looked for a splitter? I just bought this sound bar. I had a similar issue as the only output from the sound bar is a 3.5 mm headphone jack type cord. I searched on Amazon and found a splitter.....3.55 mm to RCA cable....look for a splitter.... I hope this helps.......Steve

I have everything going to my TV (so that is my limit on HDMI inputs). I then just run 1 optical from my TV to the soundbar.. and *any* input/sound combination then successfully is sent to the soundbar (hdmi1 for fios, hdmi2 for bluray player, hdmi3 for xbox etc)

Yes, buttt! The timing might be a little off and could sound simular to an echo effect. My sound bar is hooked up to optical connection. There should be a way to adjust this tv/soundboard timing, butt! I haven't researched this yet

For this model, it's up to your required separate receiver/amp to handle the HDMI inputs. This model just basically takes place of the 7 surround speakers (it actually has connections for all 7 speakers) in the convenience of one single unit. Other soundbar models you see may have the amp and receiver features included; it depends on your needs and other equipment.

You can either connect the PS4 to the soundbar, and connect the soundbar to the TV (use it as a combined audio/video switcher), or you can connect your TV's audio out (ideally optical) to the soundbar and leave the PS4 connected to the TV. I use the second option because I have more than two devices going to the TV, but it's less convenient because you have to switch the audio separately when you change inputs.

Sure you can. You will need a splitter box.One antenna in, 2 or more tv's out.Look up...antenna splitters. Cheers.(maybe tv splitters)

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

You can use the two outputs exactly as you described, run one HDMI output to your TV and the other HDMI to your sound-bar by selecting the same input for both outputs.

Use a digital cable to connect the soundbar to your TV - Bingo its works very well . No other cable or connection is required

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.

If you are connected to a cable box, there should be an optical connection there. Once connected, you should lower the volume on the TV to zero so sound will only come from the soundbar.

No, this is the oposite. One input to have two tv's connected. You need two inputs one output.
