Will this unit still produce an HDMI output if only the digital audio portion of the input (S/PDIF or TOSLink) is provided? My soundbar will accept an HDMI input...

I have a DVI and Toslink feeding into this unit and HDMI coming out to the amplifier. I lose audio when the DVI feed is unplugged even though the Toslink is still connected. I still get audio, however, when feed from this unit to the TV it feeds to is off. Hope that answers your question.

No, it does not work without the video input. This is a result of my experiment. You may want to contact the vendor to confirm.

No. You need an HDMI to DVI Cable to provide the input to the converter. I used Amazon's converter cable. Connect the HDMI end of the cable to your input source (set-top box etc) and the DVI end to your monoprice. The DVI input is labeled.

I have my TV connected to the Soundbar via optical as well and it works fine. I had to buy the cable separately though. I would think that HDMI is all you need since the Soundbar acts as an HDMI hub.

No. This is going from RGB/SpDIF/Coax input to HDMI output. I think you'd need to be going in the other direction. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/E-More-Component-Converter-Supporting-Coaxial/dp/B00T2MLNBM or http://www.amazon.com/BestFire-Component-Converter-Supporting-Coaxial/dp/B00N9UEVNK

If your trying to feed your TV and sound bar from the DVD Player this will not feed both at the same time, it is a switch. Try going into your TV audio in and then come Audio out of the TV to the input of the sound bar or visa versa. If you do not have enough ins and outs look View HD SPDIF | TOSLINK Digital Optical Audio Splitter 1x3" here on Amazon.

HDMI is capable of carrying much higher resolution audio than optical can carry. If you are going to go through this sound bar system with multiple source devices feeding one display, then hook it up all HDMI. The sound from every source will be through this audio system, the picture will be on your TV. Make sure your HDMI cables are "high speed" if you will be trying to play 3D Blu-ray movies through this on a 3D TV.

Good choice! Yes, your red and white outputs are standard and the devise will convert it to digital but if your sound bar didn't come with an optical cable, you will need one.

What it does is take the input HDMI and then outputs HDMI, SPDIF (digital audio) and RCA jacks for analog audio all at once. I bought this for my projector as my setup does not allow HDMI in for audio so i bought it to pass the video through to the projector while the audio goes to the surround sound via the RCA jacks.

Almost! You will need a digital to audio converter first......here is the one I bought.... Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support Headphone/Speaker Outputs You connect the "Toslink" cable that comes with the converter.......from the TV to the converter. Then you connect the RCA cable from the other end of the converter.....to your sound bar. It works very well......GT:)

I don't actually own this product, but looking at the spec's it has an HDMI out and an optical in. This means that the HDMI connection will probably only work outputting the video signal to your TV from the soundbar's smart apps. Looking elsewhere and reading some of the reviews this sounds to be the case, although the other reply seems to indicate they tested with only HDMI and it worked for them, so take my answer with a grain of salt.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

"Audio Signal from Any Input Can Be Obtained from SPDIF Digital Optical or Hi-Fi Stereo 3.5mm outputs @ Output A"The audio of whatever is going out HDMI output A will also go out the 3.5mm and S/PDIF ports.

No. Your single female RCA S/PDIF output is a digital coax output. It's won't work plugged into a analog RCA input. You should have either a RCA digital coax input or a optical input on your sound bar for receiving digital audio. Alternatively, you can just plug in a pair of stereo RCA cables from the TV to the sound bar. Otherwise, you would need to use something like a SPDIF to analog converter.

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)

No .. RCA and digital .. I have hdmi into the TV and digital out from the tv into the soundbar

Can't tell from pictures and the info on your TV whether it has any kind of outputs (RCA or headphone out). If your sound currently gets to your TV through HDMI, you'll need some kind of output from the TV, unless the source (Bluray, cable box etc) has audio outputs separate from HDMI. In the latter case, you can just use a mini stereo or aux cable and run it to the sound bar. It also accepts Bluetooth, if you have a PC, phone, or tablet that has Bluetooth you can pair it.

"The S/PDIF IN signal only passes through to the S/PDIF OUT" according to the manual. It is a USB sound card for audio out of a computer. Not TV.
