Helen Allan,For the TV, assuming it has a digital optical audio output, you'd connect your audio bar to your TV with the digital optical cable (sold separately). For the Blu-Ray player, if it's connected to the TV, it should send the audio out directly to your audio bar through the TV. Some Blu-Ray players only have HDMI output, however, so if that's the case, the HDMI output on the Blu-Ray could go to the HDMI INPUT on the audio bar, and you could connect another HDMI from the Audio Bar's output to the TV's input. --Mr. S

Since the only signal you need to send to the unit is audio, the only input connections you care about are 2 analog (RCA to 3.5mm or 3.5mm to RCA) and 2 digital (Digital Optical or Digital Coaxial). Digital gives you a better quality sound, but I would send the digital audio directly from the source (Receiver or Blu-Ray player) and not the TV. For best results, I use a fiber optic (Toslink) cable from Blu-ray player to Sound bar.

I have a Blue Ray with digital audio output, the video is with HDMI, but I want to connect the audio to an amplifier. It works fine with DVD and Blue Ray disks, but when I want to play a home made CD of music, it distorts with noise. The device will convert your TV output to rca, sure, but I can't tell you if you will hear noise. Is cheap, so you can try.

Digital Optical are much better than RCA. They carry a 5.1 signal, not sure if your sound bar supports that or not... just beware that these cables (at least the ones I received) are not as pictured. They didn't come with the attached caps and were much thinner and more brittle.

Any standard optical audio cable should work. When you say it wouldn't fit, does the connector not seat correctly? It will only fit in one orientation, be sure the keyway is lined up and it will click in.

You can get an adapter cable to go from the RCA on the cd changer to a 3.5mm phono plug and then plug that into the audio in port of the soundbar. Not digital like the optical cable, but the changer isn't optical out anyways and this is much cheaper.

No, this cable is pretty specific in its function. I used it as en extension so I could place my computer speakers L and R farther apart. It is headphone sized jack (3.5 mm) and mono, so it won't work for your typical TV setup. You want component or composite audio cables probably. Check those out.

It should. Most HDMI ports are built for that much like the R/W/Y and R/G/B cord sets. It is designed to be that way. Yes, it will work. I have tested it on a 42" HDTV and the sound comes right through.

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.

The optical cable audio signal should be the same or close to the audio signal that comes from the hdmi. The hdmi just carries video signal in addition to the audio. I use the optical out of my bluray player into my Polk 9000 and it plays louder than I would ever need. Hope this answers your question.

Even if you adjust the shelves; the 40inch sound bar would not fit but it will fit on top on the shelf in front of the TV. That is how I have mine...Hope this helps

I had the same issue. use an Analog output audio cord or the Co-axial audio output cord to connect the Soundbar directly to your tv. I ended up just plugging the Optical connection from the Soundbar into my Blu Ray player. I used an Analog output audio cord that I had laying around in my house to connect the soundbar to my TV. If you don't have an analog or co-axial cord, be sure to buy one because this soundbar doesn't provide either for you.

This sound bar has a 3.5mm analogue input (aka headphone jack size) and two optical (TOS Link) inputs. If your TV has an optical out you would purchase a compatible cable to take the TVs output and input it in the sound bar.

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you as I am having similar problems. Hooked my YHT S-400 up to an LG TV and I can't get the sound bar to work. Sound is coming through the sub-woofer but nothing through the sound bar. All connections appear good and the HDMI Audio is set to AMP as per instructions. Wondering if the sound bar itself is defective.

This sound bar will work with the your tv just fine. The only issue I have had with mine, was that sometimes my tv gets out of sync with the bar, as it doenst have a digital out. For the money, this is a pretty good setup once you get everything situated. It will be a bit longer than your tv. it is about 6 inches longer on both sides than your tv.

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.

Yes, it works on my samsung sound bar. Use the disc to install software. Worked easily
