I have a vizio sound bar with optical, i have my TV with coaxial round audio port. Is this what i need to get my sound bar working with my tv?

This is for optical to coax. You need the opposite, coax to optical. There should be a similar product available on here that works in the opposite direction.

Hi Shawn.... I have mine hooked up to DISH also and to my audio / video receiver. I do believe if your sound bar has optical outlet you should be fine. :)

This is exactly what you need to convert the signal from the tv to the sound bar. You will also need a digital coaxial audio cable for tv to adapter and a toslink / fiber optic audio cable from adapter to soundbar, to complete the connection.

No, soundbars are made to be plugged into the TV and do not use a receiver. The surround receiver outputs to speaker wire. The opticals are inputs

Most digital cable boxes have optical outputs now. If yours has it, hook the optical cable between your cable box and the sound bar and you should be good to go.

The sound bar is strictly analog, that is, it has no digital (Toslink) connector. If your TV has an analog output for headphones you can connect the sound bar that way, otherwise you have to use a digital-to-analog audio converter.

Hi, As long as your TV has a ( Audio Out ) connection you should be able to connect this sound bar. The Sound bar has a Small ( Audio In ) connector, This type of connector looks like the single poll sized connector used on a lot of computer sound in jacks. If your TV has a RCA type of ( Audio Out ) connections =if it has two connections,( a Red and a White ) audio out jacks like my tv has you can buy an adaptor cable that has the two Red and White RCA plugs on one end that will plug into your TV and the the small single plug jack on the other end that will plug into this sound bar. This is how I set it up with my TV. The sound bar works really good with very good loud and clear sound. It was well worth the money in my opinion. I hope this helps you with your decision.

I bought a Yamaha sound bar that only connects to my TV. On the back of it is the place to connect the TV to the soundbar. The TV said Digital sound and the Yamaha only has optical sound I had to get the extra cord to make the connection work properly. Apparently this is very common with many electronic devices. The cables are much more expensive at local retailers.

I don't have a Vizio soundbar but if there is a optical input in your Vizio it will work for sure as there is only one standard for interfacing optical inputs/outputs.

you can check a few places: 1) make sure the optical audio cable is connected correctly between the TV and the sound bar. Don't forget to remove the end caps on the cable. Don't touch the ends after the caps are removed. It might takes a bit of wiggling to get the ends of the optical cable to go into the TV. 2) Check that your TV is set to output the audio to Digital Audio/SPDIF. On some TVs, like mine, I have the option to output either PCM or RAW. PCM works for this sound bar. 3) There could be a problem with the optical audio cable, especially if it has been pinched.

Yes it should work. I had to buy this because my TV only has optical digital audio out and my old sound bar only has analog RCA input. I tried simply using an RCA to SPDIF cable but that didn't work and had to get this box to make it work.

Yes. All audio cables are compatable with Vizio tvs. Look at the optical port and see if something is jammed in there, like dust, dirt, protective cap ends, etc. When we put ours together it snaps right in.

Sandra, Many of today's quality Audio Bars will have a digital optical audio port, and this television has an audio output that supports it. There are so many options available, do you have any specifications that you're looking for? --Mr. S

I have my tv connected to the soundbar with the optical port, and it works for the tv and the cable box. The dvd player I have it connected with the regular red and white cables. Make sure you change the output, if you try with all outputs, then maybe is the optical cable that is bad, or maybe you don't have it connected all the way. Check the connections again. Soryy that is all I can thimk of, I am no expert, but it waorks for me.

Yes, but one quick note that might help you: I switched from and older receiver that had many inputs and outputs but no HDMI to a newer one with HDMI support. At first when setting up the sound bar I freaked out when I realized the newer receiver didn't have optical out but it didn't stop me; I ended up running the optical out from the TV to the sound bar. If you have to do this you might need to go into your receiver's settings and enable sound through the TV HDMI signal (it was disabled in mine).

There is an optical output in the TV , the optical input from sound bar should be connected to the optical output of the TV. I am not sure if this will work with other TV. I think if there is an optical output, it may work.

Quick answer: you have to have the HDMI Cable(recent version) that supports sound and follow the instruction in the manual. I just used the optic cable and hooked it directly to TV optic. That was the most simple and it plays sound with everything else I have hooked up to TV without having to select each input port. Hopefully you have the optic port on your TV :-)P.S. Even though this sound bar description does not say it comes with the optic cable, mine had one taped to the styrofoam inside the box, so look carefully.
