I just followed the directions that came with the soundbar. It's been long enough ago now that I don't remember the details but I do remember that the instructions were straightforward and we didn't have and difficulty at all. Very happy with the soundbar.

as far as i know, most cable boxes are the same. here's how to set it up.first connect the soundbar to your TV using the optical cable.then connect the cable box to you TV with the HDMI cable.now in the TV settings, you have to select external speakers instead of the built-in speakers to use the soundbar as your speakers.

Wow, bless your heart. I spent hours on the phone with Sony and Panasonic only to be spinning my wheels. Ended up returning my soundbar. Perhaps Radio Shack might be able to help you out. Sorry, I'm not much help. I wish you well.

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

Check your TV to see if it has optical output. If it does, then hook up the optical cable to it. Note: some of the sound will NOT process by this model (like XBOX games, or sounds has DTS). In that case you have to use RCA cable to hook up from your TV to this sound bar. I also found an issue with this model is that, when the sound bar is on, it will mess up my wireless connection to my laptop.

You don't need a receiver with this unit! It's self-amplified. Just plug it in to your TV via HDMI. Plug your other components in to the TV as well. At worst, you'll need to run a pair of RCA audio cables from the TV back to the audio input of the Sound Bar. Hope this helps

The black one goes in the right end of the sound bar. It says line in. And the red and white go into the t.v. Sadly I purchased that extra cord but it didn't make the sound bar work with my Toshiba Hdmi tv.

Which port did u connect to? Coaxial or RCA? If you are using Coaxial then make sure you are using Coaxial Digital Audio cable an not any AV Cable. You can get it cheap from Walmart for 12 buck for a 6 Feet one. Also make sure you Press the Coax button on the Soundbar remote.

It depends on what input jacks you have on your TV - as I recall, this soundbar had both audio L/R (the red and white tipped cables) and a digital connecton (called TOSLink). If you use the TOSLink connection, you'll get better sound quality yet you'll need to buy the TOSLink cable separately. I was never able to get the TOSLink connection to work on mine (I bought the soundbar for my elderly father who had difficulty hearing the TV) so I ended up using the Audio L/R connection.

If your receiver can be connected to your TV via HDMI, and you set the receiver to output the audio to the TV, you could in theory run it like this and the sound would be output by the soundbar (when the soundbar is connected to the TV directly)

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.

Dear Gary,Best way to connect this is to run an HDMI from your DVR to the Denon soundbar followed by an HDMI from the soundbar to your television.Eric C.World Wide Stereo

The best and ideal way to setup your sound bar is with HDMI. The beautiful thing about HDMI is they were designed to deliver a digital handshake, or relay information both ways. Connect your three HDMI supported devices directly to ports HDMI 1, 2 and 3 in the rear of the unit. There is an ARC supported HDMI output you can hook an HDMI cable from the bar to the TV, which will give you video pass-through so you can see the video from your original HDMI source. This port also supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) which, when a v1.4 HDMI cable is hooked from the bar directly to an ARC HDMI input on a television, it will also return the audio from the TV back to the bar. With this setup, you will have to use the input selector on your sound bar's remote (unless you have a Harmony remote) to switch among your different devices.

Use a digital optical cable from the sound bar to the tv. The second type of cable shown in the instructions is for a dvd player.

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.

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.

The soundbar allows for multiple connection methods. For best performance, Def Tech suggest routing all component cables to soundbar inputs and send the soundbar output to the TV. The other method is to connect all component cables to the TV and run an optical cable out from the TV to the soundbar. They have the manual available for download on their website.
