Please provide directions for cable connections/setup, that includes: 1) Comcast cable box, 2) Apple TV, 3) Sony 770 Sound Bar. Thanks in advance!

Hi Scott D.You may connect your comcast and apple tv directly to the soundbar and from the soundbar HDMI out going to your TV. Thanks. >Joffrey

You will plug the Sony 770 into you TV via HDMI. Plug the cable box and the Apple TV via HDMI will separately be plugged into the Sony 770. That's it.

This is how I connected my units. I have Time Warner cable, a Samsung smart TV and a Blu-Ray player.I connected the sound bar to the TV using the optical cable. If your TV does not have an optical connection, you will need to use an HDMI cable for this. Next, I ran an HDMI cable from the cable box to the sound bar. Finally, I connected the Blu-ray unit to the sound bar via an HDMI cable. Then I set the TV volume to zero to get no sound from the TV speakers. I hope this helps.

What kind of cable? A cable tv box should have output connections. I would suggest using HDMI to get the best picture.

No cable. Also a bit tricky to set up. If on a Mac, must go to System preferences in addition to the application prefs. Took me a week to work. But once I figured it out, (with help from BM tech support) it works well.

Use a audio optical cable if PS4 has it, or run the sound from PS4 to TV and from TV to soundbar. The latter is how I have my PS3 hooked up

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver. there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

best bet is to connect the sound bar to a cable box or Blue ray..you don't want the source/feed from the TV anyway (The TV audio circuitry is usually terrible anyway) Sound bar gives you the option of playing music without having the TV on.

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.

It comes with an optical cable which u can use to connect to your HDTV or Blu-ray Player or receiver. I use the optical cable that came with it and connected it directly to my HDTV. I also bought an HDMI cable and hooked it directly to my APPLE TV. You can use HDMI cable or another optical cable if you want to hook/connect your sound bar with multiple devices such as HDTV, DVD players, Apple TV, receivers etc.

Great info, thanks E-Dude! I also have Comcast's HDDVR box. I'm currently running it's HDMI directly out to the HDTV. I would run this directly into my Onkyo 606 (once I purchase it) then out to the TV. I vaguely remember the cable box having a DVI output also, I wonder if I could use a HDMI to DVI convertor adapter to run out directly to another HDMI input on the TV instead of component out to the TV? I'll have to see if I'm remembering correctly. Thanks for the tip!

Use the optical cable that comes included. One wire from bar to tv. Then change the audio setting on your TV to external.

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response. I am still getting 2 different answers. It sounds like if you hook it up before the Cable Box or TV that you can do both.
