This question was posted over a year ago, but I'll answer: DO NOT buy the sound bar. It is terrible. Very low quality audio, crackles horribly when level nears top range. The television is louder than the sound bar (same crackle) The TV has an optical output, but the bar does not.

Yes. I can hook up a sound bar and sub woofer via optical, but when I tried to hook up via HDMI it gave me one or the other - not both. I agree the inability to control both the sound bar (mine is a Sony) and TV with one remote is a detractor.

Yes it should. You'd run HDMI from your cable or satellite box to your TV. Then you'd use the optical cable from either your TV or cable/satellite box to your sound bar.

This particular sound bar does not have a HDMI port. You can use the optical input or the A/V cables if your TV has them.

Your question needs more specific details. this is an hdmi splitter it will automatically switch to the active hdmi source. So for example your roku, bluray player and cable box can plug into this and then this can go into your TV. if you have a sound bar you should be connecting it with an optical cable or analog audio cable. i recommend the optical. As far as connections you can hook up the bar to your cable box directly or to the tv directly. it would be helpful if we knew what devices and tv u had how many hdmi ports as well as what your over all goal for connectivity is.

Nope. This is an optical (digital) audio cable. Your sound bar is an analog input.

I really can't answer this for sure as I do not use my receiver with a TV or sound bar etc...it is strictly used in my home theater so that feature is not used. however, I did use it to do the initial setup and had it connected for a few days with no problems as others have mentioned.

this is an awkwardly worded questions so I will try to answer it in parts. This device connects to any standard 3.5mm audio jack, which the back of your TV should have, as well as be in the back of the source of your sound bar. There is no HDMI cable to connect to this device. My advice, do not replace the HDMI cable from the TV to the sound bar, because you will lose so much audio quality. Instead, what I do is leave the Soundbar system plugged in with HDMI, but turned low/off for my sleeping baby, and I also play the TV sounds through this device connected to my AptX-enabled bluetooth wireless headphones (these are cheap and very simple to use = http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IBCRZ3Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), and play as loud as I want.

Yes you need an optical cable to connect the sound bar to your cable box or TV.

This sound bar can be used with a TV. Can be connected by optical cable, RCA plug jacks, 3.5mm connecter and or Bluetooth.

No you can use the TV. Once programmed you're gonna want to turn off the TV speakers and use just the soundbar for sound. You might want to do it under aux though and set the default volume to aux instead of TV because if you do it on TV and just turn the internal TV speakers off you might get a message displayed on the screen every time you operate the volume. This soundbar sounds great too BTW. I've installed 5 of them and every customer loves them. Yes there are better ones out there, but it comes down to what you want to pay. Good luck and hope that helps

First in the settings in your TV turn off the audio You will have to then use the the remote to turn on the sound bar each time...

NO! Use a digital hook up from your tv to the sound bar for better sound and then hook up everything else to the TV. This way you don't need a switch box. What ever you have on is what you will hear.

Yes, the sound bar must have sub-out. If not then you'll have to use a receiver and connect the sound bar and sub. Which is the way I have it set up

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

If I understand the question you will have multiple devices hooked up to your TV via HDMI and you will use an optical audio cable to connect to the sound bar to play sound from the TV. Yes, the sound will play fine. I have the same set-up for mine. You just need to make sure the "function" is switched to "optical" on the sound bar to have it work.
