No. You need an "Optical output to HDMI input" adapter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Insignia™ RCA to HDMI Converter is designed to convert RCA signals to HDMI, which is typically used for older devices that output RCA signals to be displayed on newer HDMI-only TVs. However, it won't work for connecting your Insignia sound bar NS SB314 to your new TV, as the sound bar uses an optical connection for audio input. To connect your sound bar to a TV that only has HDMI outputs, you will need an HDMI to Optical (Toslink) Audio Converter. This type of converter will extract the audio signal from the HDMI output and convert it to an optical signal that your sound bar can use. Here’s what you need to do: 1. Purchase an HDMI to Optical Audio Converter: - Look for a converter that specifically mentions HDMI to Optical (Toslink) audio conversion. 2. Connect the HDMI Cable: - Plug an HDMI cable from your TV’s HDMI output into the HDMI input on the converter. 3. Connect the Optical Cable: - Use an optical (Toslink) cable to connect the optical output on the converter to the optical input on your sound bar. 4. Power the Converter: - Ensure the converter is powered on, usually via a USB or power adapter. 5. Select the Correct Input: - On your sound bar, select the optical input to receive the audio signal. This setup should allow you to enjoy audio from your TV through your Insignia sound bar. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
