I have the female toslink on the blue-ray player and an orange female receptacle marked "digital audio out". Is this the proper cable?

No. The orange cable is not an optical/fiber optic cable cable (Toslink). The Toslink cable has to connect to a Toslink connection at each end. The Orange receptacle has to use a matching orange receptacle on both ends (it is basically a copper wire connection, digital output from the Blu-Ray to digital input at the AV receiver). The Blue Ray Player probably also has an HDMI 'out' connection. If your AV receiver has an HDMI 'in' connection, this is the best way to go. Cheers,

To get digital audio:HDMI from cable box to AV.Or, Toslink from cable box to AV.Or, Digital Orange Cable from Cable box to AV.Turn the volume level all the way down on the TV to avoid sound from the TV speakers (otherwise there can be an echo). Control the volume through the AV. If the correct inputs/outputs are selected at the AV, you should get the sound through the AV speakers.

If your cable is "mini" it should be the same thing. A standard Toslink cable needs an adapter for this unit. If your cable doesn't work as is, the adapter is only a couple of dollars, so it's not like there's a big risk other than time.

I have both my Turntable source and Samsung 55 inch LED audio running through this EQ. Many new LED's and LCD, have only digital optical Coax outputs. So, I purchased a J-tech digital converter and Toslink digital Audio Cable. This allowed me to run from the TV, to the converter and into the EQ with a standard analog audio (red and white) cable. Works great..Hope this helps. Amazon had the best prices for both items I needed....JR

You need a digital to analog converter. I use this one - Portta PETDTAP Digital Coax and Optical Toslink to Analog Audio Converter

Dear Denise,Thank you for your question regarding our Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable. We would need to know the model of the TV and the converter box to give you a definite answer, but if the TV is providing digital audio output via TOSLINK and the converter accepts digital audio via TOSLINK this cable should be compatible.Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thank You,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

I used a Digital Audio cable (optical)in the back of the tv to the sound bar. Works just fine.

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.

If you have a single (yellow) digital audio (SPDIF) "out" jack on the TV, that is specifically for a digital audio "in" jack on another component. Pretty much every TV also has red and white audio out jacks. Those are what you connect to the sound bar. Alternatively, many TVs have an optical (Toslink) jack for audio out. I believe that your sound bar has one too. That would be preferable. AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

I just bought it an can't figure it out, other then to connect the blue ray to the tv, then the tv to the sound bar. I don;t know if this will defeat the soutnd of the blu ray. I may return it and go with the "wired" look.

First I would see if it works with another device like a bluray player. If it does then you know your TV/laptop settings are off somewhere. If not then you know it's the cable.

What I would do is buy a optical toslink cable to rca left and right converter

This is a toslink cable, if your Aux interface is not digital toslink type, it will not work.

If it is an ethernet connection on the blue ray, then this cable should work

If you are trying to switch a Toslink digital optical cable input, this will work. I use mine to switch between an older DVD player and my Dish network receiver.

The cable you have shown is a sub woofer cable which is designed for the low level sounds (Base) and the Digital Coaxial is for all other surround sound channelsfor maximum surround sound connection. I have them both and they are fantastic cables. Mediabridge cables are incredibly priced and the quality of the cables are great. I don't think you will find a better cable for less.The back of your Blu-ray or cable box you will see Digital Coax out and on your receiver or sound bar you will see Digital Coax input, they are the female RCA Orange connections.

The Monoprice DVI & S/PDIF Digital Coax/Optical Toslink Audio to HDMI Converter is designed to take optical as one of the inputs and produce HDMI output so I don't think it's going to solve your application. Have a look at the J-Tech Digital Premium Quality HDMI to HDMI + Audio (SPDIF + 3.5mm Stereo) Audio Extractor Converter (JTDAT5CH). It will take HDMI as an input and generate optical out as one of the options.
