Be sure you don't have an optical output. It is small and hard to see. Most late (5yr old or newer) have this output and many even older. Check your manual for output specs if you have it. If you don't, get the analog to optical converter from BB for about $30. You'll connect to you RCA jacks left/right analog audio output and the small converter will have an optical output to feed your soundbar. Not optimum, but better than straight analog. There may be a digital audio to optical audio converter that could do the same thing but I'm not aware of it. Consult a specialist, or look for a soundbar that will accept a digital audio input. Hope this helps...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It was a little tough to put in, but while the included cable did not seem to fit at first, it did after I pushed through the little flap that is covering the opening. I guess it must be there to keep it clean or something, but it seemed more of a bother than a help. But the provided cable did fit. Don't be afraid to push a little harder than you might expect.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Probably didn't take protective covers off the ends of optical cable. Optical input is only way to go-listen to it once and you'll never go back to old way!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Bassman I have this same issue with my TV. As a workaround I was able to connect the digital audio cable directly to my cable box and it works perfectly. Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have to use an optical cable, provided with the soundbar. That is the only input available. Your digital or analog audio must be converted to optical in order to use this unit.
