I have Samsung UN75F6300 TV connected to Harman kardon receiver and would like to know if I can connect soundbar with RCA to the same receiver?

The HK soundbar is a powered unit. If you connect it to your receiver and the output is also powered, you run the risk of damaging both your receiver and your HK soundbar. This device is designed to be connected to a speaker output of a typical tv set, and is not intended to be connected to any type of powered amplification system. I recommend researching your HK receiver to see what the output is, or just reach out directly to HK with your question. Again, driving a powered output to this systems input could severely damage both devices. Good luck

Yes, I have mine connected to an RCA ANT751. It works very well in my setup.

I'm not familiar with your soundbar but, this device will convert coaxial digital out from your a source (such as a TV) to analog stereo audio for input to an amp. If your soundbar has the red and white RCA stereo inputs, then this will work. Be advised however that if your amplifier does not have audio delay adjustment capability, the audio the TV (or whatever the source) speakers will most likely be slightly out of sync with the Compass output creating a reverb effect. To eliminate this, just turn off the TV speakers just listening to the soundbar. The lipsync with the video itself will be negligible and could actually be right on as many tvs have the audio just slightly ahead of the video anyhow.

I really can't answer this for sure as I do not use my receiver with a TV or sound bar etc...it is strictly used in my home theater so that feature is not used. however, I did use it to do the initial setup and had it connected for a few days with no problems as others have mentioned.

The Harman Kardon 3490 works fine with my 20+ year old Bose Acoustimass 5 II stereo subwoofer / satellite speaker system. I don't have a second speaker system connected to the receiver, however.

I looked at the specs of the soundbar and it looks like you can connect it to the TV using RCA jacks as well as bluetooth. If you use RCA, you should be able to control the device using the TV remote or the Universal device set to the TV's code.

As long as your receiver has a digital optical out if not I'm sure your receiver has auxillary outs in which case the sound bar also has av in on it ( the red and white plugs)

The soundbar accepts HDMI and digital (optical or coax). To use your receiver, you would have to connect the HDMI out or some other digital pre-out. Another option is to buy an un-powered unit and the speaker terminals from the receiver would power it.

I bought a Samsung 120 watt sound bar with a subwoofer but the TV speakers are better than I expected. I also bought a Sony blue ray player and would definitely recommend optical audio and video cables. But their are rca inputs in the TV.

This won't work. There is only one hdmi on the sound bar. Its actually a dumb design on Philips part. You also have the option of rca from the tv to the sound bar.

I have a Samsung sound bar on one tv and a sony on a second tv. Both are excellent. Just make sure you get a wireless sub woofer. The sound compared to the tv speakers is like night and day

There are basically two inputs on this. One is an optical and the other is rca. My tv has an optical out, so everything runs through my television then out to my sound bar. That way if you just want to use the sound from the tv you can.

If your tv has the side RCA pug ins like most tv's you can get it to work. I own one of these sound bars if I had it to do over I would spend a little more and get a better sound bar.

Joseph, Most soundbars will support only stereo. But to answer the question more directly, audio from Apps (like Netflix) and signals from the digital tuner will be sent in 5.1. Other HDMI connection audio sources will go to stereo (which again, is good for audio bars anyway, since they often support 2.1). Thanks for your interest in Samsung products, and if you have more questions, please reach out. --Mr. S

Sorry for the dumb question, but what is a soundbar? I've never had to put one on a TV - I just have 5.1 surround hooked up to my current TV.

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 connected my Yamaha speaker to an Onkyo receiver (surround sound amplifier), via speaker wires with no "connections", i.e., wires to screw receptacles on both the speaker and receiver. As to directly to a TV, you will need a receiver to amplify the sound from the TV to the speaker. At least as far as I know.
