Nope. You want this instead: C2G / Cables To Go 40018 Coaxial to Toslink Optical Digital Audio Converter

I used this from the back of my TV (optical port) connected to the adapter then to a digital cable and ran it to my Bose system

No, you will need a product that converts coaxial output to optical input, C2G / Cables to Go 40018 Coaxial to Optical Digital Audio Converter (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002J2MV4/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk)

Sounds like what you need. My application required going from the orange RCA coax type on the TV and converting to the fiber optic type on the soundbar. It all works fine, but the converter does not come with either the coax cable or the fiber optic cable.

The soundbar has multiple inputs....optical, coax and RCA so you should be able to hook up just about anything.

Dear James, Thanks for your inquiry. If you are going to use the headphone jack, you're going to probably come close to maxing the volume in the television itself so more signal gets into the soundbar. Does your TV have an optical audio output? That would be a better option.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

The only way to connect this soundbar to anything is with the optical cable, so if your receiver has an optical connection, then yes. Otherwise, no.

Actually I'm using the optical audio output from my Sony tv to the optical input of the sound bar...not sure why it wouldn't work when using the red/white output from your tv into the soundbar...all I did was hook it up and turn my TV speaker off...make sure the blue light is lit up on the soundbar when powered up...

Quick answer: you have to have the HDMI Cable(recent version) that supports sound and follow the instruction in the manual. I just used the optic cable and hooked it directly to TV optic. That was the most simple and it plays sound with everything else I have hooked up to TV without having to select each input port. Hopefully you have the optic port on your TV :-)P.S. Even though this sound bar description does not say it comes with the optic cable, mine had one taped to the styrofoam inside the box, so look carefully.

The soundbar accepts HDMI and digital (optical or coax). To use your receiver, you would have to connect the HDMI out or some other digital pre-out. Another option is to buy an un-powered unit and the speaker terminals from the receiver would power it.

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 ...

The soundbar is an analog device. I have two Samsung TVs, one (bigger) has an optical audio (digital) output, and the other (smaller) has only an audio output jack for headphones (analog). I can connect the soundbar to the smaller TV with jack for the headphones but not the TV with optical audio. The sounbar has RCA jacks, so I used a 3.5mm stereo (male) to RCA stereo (female) Y-cable to connect it. Devices exist to convert digital audio to analog if your TV doesn't have a headphone jack. I use a low-end Samsung home theatre system on the bigger TV. Hope this helps.

I don't see why not as long as your tv has audio outputs either optical or standard red/white...I use the optical on my Sony lcd and it sounds great... also this soundbar unlike most your can set in front of tv on a stand and its low enough not to block tv screen...1 negative is the very small remote is cheap so I bought a programmable Logitech remote to work it...the sa cable box remote couldn't be programmed to work it

Almost! You will need a digital to audio converter first......here is the one I bought.... Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support Headphone/Speaker Outputs You connect the "Toslink" cable that comes with the converter.......from the TV to the converter. Then you connect the RCA cable from the other end of the converter.....to your sound bar. It works very well......GT:)

HDMI is capable of carrying much higher resolution audio than optical can carry. If you are going to go through this sound bar system with multiple source devices feeding one display, then hook it up all HDMI. The sound from every source will be through this audio system, the picture will be on your TV. Make sure your HDMI cables are "high speed" if you will be trying to play 3D Blu-ray movies through this on a 3D TV.

If your receiver can be connected to your TV via HDMI, and you set the receiver to output the audio to the TV, you could in theory run it like this and the sound would be output by the soundbar (when the soundbar is connected to the TV directly)

you're not looking for what your tv can input, you want the output for the TV. In case your TV still doesn't have an optical output then the sound bar has the analog inputs on the back. If you don't have an optical output (there should be a small, square hole with a red glowing light that shows that it is an optical out) then your set is outdated or a very cheap TV. If you don't have the optical out then the sound bar would not be beneficial since the analog input does not use the sub-woofer. Here is the manual to see what can go where. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/ephox/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/Home/SP-BS23W_Owners_Manual_English_Nov_14_2013.pdf

I don't see why it wouldn't work with a sound bar. I hooked up a Sony surround sound system to ours. The Sharp has an audio out that plugged right in to my surround sound system that I'm using like a sound bar. I put the 5 satellite speakers on the mantel under the tv and it works great. The sound from the Sharp was good. Not great. I bought it for the picture not the sound anyway. So yes. A soundbar should work just fine with it.

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)
