I have the same bar. I hooked up the bar to tv as instructed and hooked up the DVD player as instructed. Be sure to shut the sound off on TV to use external sound.

I have a Sharp TV with the Aquos functions. The sound bar works fine with it. When the TV or the (Samsung) DVD player is turned on, the sound bar turns on. The sound bar has to be set to HDMI with the remote, it doesn't set itself. It comes with one HDMI cable and one optical cable. When I turn off the TV, the sound bar and the DVD player automatically turn themselves off.I have one HDMI cable from the DVD player to the sound bar, and a second HDMI cable from the sound bar to the TV. I run the optical cable from the TV to the sound bar for regular TV. The sound is not audiophile quality, but it's perfectly acceptable for our family use. I have a Sharp TV with the Aquos functions.

make sure the HDMI cable is plugged into the out jack on the back of your sound bar. you will also want to check your Vizio TV settings to make sure ARC is enabled.

Try plugging the USB port to a power supply (computer or outlet or the DVD player itself) and plugging in the aux jack (headphone jack) as well

Make sure your input src is clean. If you pass through the tv it may not work, get audio straight from the sat box or whatever and make sure that outputs dolby 5.1.

Yes. I connected the RCA jacks of the TV listener directly to my DVD player's audio output. Now the sound I get is completely independent of the volume I set on my TV as long as I'm watching through my DVD player.

I was not able to hook it up directly. I plugged the DVD sound to an external speaker and I plugged the video to the projector. Plugging the sound cable directly to the projector did not work for me.

I have the same issue, unfortunately zone 2 line out (RCA jacks) only work with analog inputs (which is useless because we are all inputting digital sound through the HDMI).

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you as I am having similar problems. Hooked my YHT S-400 up to an LG TV and I can't get the sound bar to work. Sound is coming through the sub-woofer but nothing through the sound bar. All connections appear good and the HDMI Audio is set to AMP as per instructions. Wondering if the sound bar itself is defective.

I have yet to even get my DVD player to work, so you have exceeded what I can do. I should ask how you got yours to work. ??? I haven't even been able to get an answer from RCA.

Ronald, Here is an idea. Use an older DVD player that has a coaxial connector input on the back and a RCA or RGB output. I also broke the RG6 Coaxial Cable connector on the back of my TV. I was able to watch my TV through the DVD player. It is a quick fix, but at least your TV will still work.

Unless your tv has the old audio out jacks (red white av) you have to plug it into your cable box or DVD player. I had the same problem and I had to plug it into my cable box audio out jacks. Most newer tv's don't have those jacks anymore. They have the optical audio out jack which I'm not sure this sound bar has. Hope that helps.

I bought a refurbished Samsung Sound bar and have nothing but problems. I have even had the cable company out-and they cannot figure out why it does not work. Will play-but both DVD and cable it goes to black screen and says to check the signal. I am off to Sears to buy a new one.

I would like this answer also. I hooked my up to a toslink convertor an no sound came out of the sound bar. Any help?

What cable are you using to go to from the unit to your tv, if RCA is it in the output on your tv, maybe try and changing your tv audio output settings

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.
