Digital Audio Output Cable??? Where can I find the cable that fits this TV's digital audio output? TY. It's not regular coaxial or optical cable I can find anywhere.

Can I use a toslink optical cable for a digital audio input. Is it the same thing?

It actually is a coaxial digital audio jack. The connector looks just like a regular RCA plug. You might be confused by the placement. I missed it at first, too. Right next to the "digital audio out" label is a plug you can pull out with some strange-looking connector. Not sure what that is, but it's not the digital audio. The digital audio is actually to the left of the label, a black RCA-type next to a red-white RCA combo.

I am working with the same TV and found out that a single regular RCA cable to the digital audio output (black color) connector to a similar single digital audio in RCA jack (Such as the one on a Bose V35) does work. The setup I'm working with has no cable box, just a coaxial cable TV cord going directly into the TV with no separate tuner system. I was able to get surround sound to work to a 5-speaker system. I would like to see how a gold coaxial RCA-type connector with a solid core (as opposed to stranded) does to deliver better audio. If I get to do that, I'll update here. Sharp might have confused coaxial cable like the kind that delivers TV signal from the cable TV company with coaxial audio cable.

did the coaxial cable work when you did it? I called Sharp and the didn't have cables and said it wasn't coaxial. It does look like a regular RCA plug and if that is the case, then I'll just go by a coaxial cable.

Does anyone know if you can use the Digital Audo Output with headphones, bought a Sharp LCD DP26640, its for my 84 year old Mother and she has hearing loss?! Thanks for any iimput

I thought it was the square input, as well. Thanks for this tip, and it works great. Sharp wanted to charge me $28 to answer this question. The thing that threw me was that the manual refers to the output as coaxial. It is simply takes a single RCA cable. Wonder what that square connection is all about?

I have a older hp pavilion pc with a round hd digital audio output connector and cannot find a cable to use on it . Can you help. Jerry

Sorry for not answering sooner. My TV has coaxial OUT and my sound system has digital IN. It won't work in your case. The reason I use this one is that TV has terrible sound and I get OTA programming; so I use my home theater to listen to the TVs sound.

I got a digital optical cable to hook this Sony unit to my PS3. I set the PS3 audio setting to digital optical but can not get any sound. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? My TV even has a digital optical connection and I don't get any sound from it eitehr. I know the cable is ok because I see the red glow on one end.

There are two specs for this kind of audio--optical and coaxial. The optical terminal is flat on three sides and curved on the fourth side. If both your TV and cable box have such inputs, this cable will work fine (although this particular one is only 3 feet long, I think). Coax inputs look more like normal RCA inputs (round)-if your digital connectors are coax this cable won't work for you. Best I can tell you without seeing your setup!

Over the air digital TV only or online streaming media like YouTube. You can record while you watch anything else...... Where would you find analog TV broadcast signals these days anyways? ;-)

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!

I have spent the last two weeks trying to find an external TV tuner that is ready for the digital TV next February. I have searched all over the internet. I am also looking for a stand alone tuner. I have found analog standalone's. I have found digital usb tuners. But I have not found a digital standalone. I gave in and ordered a $40 coupon from dtv.gov so that I can buy a digital converter and use the analog tuner.Hope this helps!Dave

I tried an optical cable and could not get it to work. I ended up going with an HDMI cable that was ARC compatible and haven't had any issues with sound while watching tv. When I watch Netflix or hbo go I sometimes have the volume cut out but I think that is the app

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 assume that you don't have an audio RCA output either. Many newer TV's only have a Toslink or Coax connector. I connect my Sennheiser to my Samsung SMART TV with a digital to analog converter. They accept Toslink or Coax inputs.The cheaper ones only take PCM and can be found for $10 to $25 on the internet. It works great for me.

Dean Hansen, There is an audio output for receivers that carries a fixed (rather than the headphone-friendly "variable") output only. If there's a headphone option, it would need to be on the receiver, audio bar or Home Theater system, since one isn't available on the TV. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver.The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide shows that.The optical cables are really cheap anyhow on Amazon so it shouldn't be a problem. the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver.The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide... » Read More the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver.The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide shows that.The optical cables are really cheap anyhow on Amazon so it shouldn't be a problem. « Show Less

No, you must get some type of adapter, i.e. bluetooth dongle. There are ones with digital optical outputs that use Apt-x, which is a format for very good digital sound. I am going to get this TV but I'm disappointed that it's not Bluetooth enabled.

Sorry but my english is very bad, whatever, I'll try to help you, what kind of cable are you use to output the audio? HDMI, Optical?

The cable you have shown is a sub woofer cable which is designed for the low level sounds (Base) and the Digital Coaxial is for all other surround sound channelsfor maximum surround sound connection. I have them both and they are fantastic cables. Mediabridge cables are incredibly priced and the quality of the cables are great. I don't think you will find a better cable for less.The back of your Blu-ray or cable box you will see Digital Coax out and on your receiver or sound bar you will see Digital Coax input, they are the female RCA Orange connections.

If your TV is a regular TV there should be two audio "outs." One is the standard red and white "RCA" jacks. The other should be the "digital or optical" out jack that is primarily used to connect high-end home theater units or speaker bars. I have a two Vizio TVs. One is about 4 years old and there isn't the digital out jack. My newer one has it that I hooked up a speaker bar to. I didn't buy the one with the subwoofer, so I wasted my money. I instead bought this cable, an audio converter, digital to analog, and hooked up some regular computer speakers and have the full theater sound without the big price.
