This is a problem with this and a few other models of sound bars. I don't understand why they can't provide the option of traditional stereo analog inputs with so many TVs and monitors out there that do not provide the very recent optical digital protocol. There is an adapter cable that you can buy with the black/white analog audio connectors on one end and an RCA jack on the other. The black white connectors are plugged into the output audio ports of your TV and the RCA jack applies to the input on the bar for that purpose. I understand you will not get an optimum output from this arrangement, but at least it is a workable plug-n-play solution.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you can buy and Analog to optical converter and they work nicely. I have been using one for several years on a BOSE system before I got the sound bar. With the Bose I had to wrap foil around it because it picked up interference from the TV or something. With the sound bar it did not hum through the speakers without it but wrapped it up again just in case it might decide to act up on occasion.
