How do you connect a sound bar to this? I don't see any extra audio ports ?

best bet is to connect the sound bar to a cable box or Blue ray..you don't want the source/feed from the TV anyway (The TV audio circuitry is usually terrible anyway) Sound bar gives you the option of playing music without having the TV on.

I unfortunately do not know what a "sound bar" is. Mine is hooked up to an XLR input on a mixer.

I think the sound bar's USB input is only for thumb drives and external hard drives. You're going to want to use the RCA input for audio transmission.

There is only a digital optic port, no HDMI port. You would have to see if your TV are receiver, has a digital optic port and direct connect it to the sound bar

Use the optical cable that comes included. One wire from bar to tv. Then change the audio setting on your TV to external.

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.

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

You may need a fiber optic cable, I'm honestly not sure what I used to connect mine considering mine broke within a few months of owning it at which point I purchased a pretty awesome Samsung sound bar that far exceeds the ability and sound of the Craig Bluetooth soundbar. I know I had some problems with it as to how I was to connect the soundbar initially and I figured out a solution however I truly cannot remember due to the fact that I've not used the product for quite sometime now. I'm very sorry I couldn't be of more help!

You don't need a sound bar. You can use the trusurround HD sound, the equalizer amplify effects. You have to adjust it to your preference.

There is no simple way to connect headphones directly to the sound bar. I have not tried this, but perhaps a digital to analog converter such as this one MIGHT work: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-28733-Digital-Converter/dp/tech-data/B00007JO2V

In the back all jacks are inputs, you have a HDMI for video and audio, but it is an input. You need and digital output for your soundbar. hope this help you.

Okay... It's been awhile since I setup my soundbar. If it comes with it then you are good to go. I just knew you would need such a connection cable.

There is an HDMI plug - wouldn't that hook up to a sound bar? Also a headphone jack.

dboland, This model does not have an audio out port, so without an audio out, there isn't a way to connect to an audio bar. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S
