Hi Joseph. I used the HDMI out from my Lg HD TV and an Optical out wire from my Blu Ray/DVD player to the LG 47-inch Sound Bar. All works very well.

the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver. The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide shows that. The optical cables are really cheap anyhow on Amazon so it shouldn't be a problem.

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.

A separate amp is needed. The audio out from your tv is to connect that amp via rca or a/v cables. I used a fiber optic cable to connect my tv to the amp, but it is a newer hd model.

Yes, you need a hdmi to vga adapter with audio out unless your monitor has hdmi input.

if the tv has the rca connections then yes no hdmi required but you have to have the hdmi cable for this to work

They have to be hooked up to speaker terminals on an amplifier or receiver. Not sure that your TV has the power or connection to connect directly. I would connect the audio outputs to a receiver or if you are using HDMI to a receiver, just connect them to the receiver.

I used a HDMI cable for mine. Best connecting to make on that TV. I Actually ran through a audio receiver but u should have enough room on the tv

You can use the audio cord supplied, or you can use the optical cord which newer hdtv's have. I used the optical cord on my setup (before I sent it back) and it worked fine. The other audio connections are the standard audio connections you use to plug up to any stereo system, dvd player, etc.

Don't have easy access to the back of mine so can't definately answer. Suggest you google the owner's manual for this model. Main question is why you would want audio to/from the tv. Connect your source input (cable/antenna/whatever) to the Denon and HDMI (or component) to the tv.

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.

PamRosa, We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option. --Mr. S

Does the TV have a speaker out feature? The TV needs to send the signal out. Most of the time the TV has Audio setup in the menu.

You can either use a hdmi cable or us a composite cable and connect only the audio signal from tv to receiver

This is true. I tried setting up my home theatre every way possible, but efter speaking to Sharp, they said you cannot use the audio optical out for HDMI. This is a shame. You must go directlyu from the audio source to the receiver via optical cable when using HDMI to the TV. No big deal, the TV is still awesome!

I have a new HDTV and it only has the optical output. We went from the cable box to the TV with HDMI, but I also want to connect to a home theater system. My receiver is an older one and does not have HDMI or optical. Can I just use the left- right audio outputs that are on the back of the cable box for the audio receiver as well as using the HDMI for the television??? Sal

If you are using an HDMI cable from the TV output to the receiver you should have audio through the receiver. I assume that you have multiple inputs that are selected by the receiver and you have selected the input that is connected to the TV. I found that there are different audio configurations in the receiver that need to be selected also. The manual offers a lot of information but for me it's too difficult to understand. Try a different HDMI cable and/or input port to begin with.
