I just bought a TV with an orange digital coax out, my sound bar has auxiliary and fiber optic. Is this what I need for the sound bar to work?

I had exactly the same situation. This takes the digital coax and converts it to the fiber optic. It comes with the power supply, you will still need the coax cable and the fiber optic cable. The fiber optic cable ends and the receptacles on both ends have protectors over all of them to protect from contamination. Remove them all at the time of installation.

Yes, if you TV does not have optical out this is the way to go. I had the same problem and this little device solved for me.

This is exactly what you need to convert the signal from the tv to the sound bar. You will also need a digital coaxial audio cable for tv to adapter and a toslink / fiber optic audio cable from adapter to soundbar, to complete the connection.

Yes. This unit has coax (F-connector) digital audio in and converts it to optical cable digital audio out. My unit works perfectly.

This is where I ran into problems; The audio input is Optical. My TV only has Digital Coax. I had to buy an coax to optical converter to make it compatible. It was about $20 Hope this helps

If I understand the question correctly......You must plug in a wire to the "coaxial" input to your sound bar (RCA type wire at both ends) then to the "coaxial" output to your Television. The blue tooth connection is only between the sound bar and the sub woof and it will connect automatically once you plug into the ac outlet and have your coaxial wire plugged in.

You will only be able to use Coax digital or analog stereo RCA with this sound bar, unless you purchase additional adapters.

Jim, i have this unit and hdmi is finicky so i couldn't get it to work. So no big loss. Instead, use fiber optic audio output of tv to feed optical input of soundbar and all will be good. Regards, Greg

My rca sound bar has only rca red/white cord and emerson tv only has orange digital audio out coaxial how do I hook these together

The only audio input this sound bar has it the A/V input, and the optical/fiber input. Some satellite dish boxes have an A/V output on them, so be sure and double check your dish box for compatibility.

There are three output ports on this soundbar--two are Optical Digital and one is Digital Audio Coax. Here are the exact cables I purchased:Mediabridge Toslink Cable (10 Feet) - Optical Digital Audio CableC2G / Cables To Go 29115 Velocity S/PDIF Digital Audio Coax Cable (6 Feet)The one specifically labeled as TV on the soundbar is one of the optical ones, but if your TV doesn't have that type of port, you can use the coax one and remember to hit the right button on the soundbar/remote when you use it.Hope this helps!

Nope. This is an optical (digital) audio cable. Your sound bar is an analog input.

No. This box converts optical to coax. It's not bidirectional. I think you need to convert the TV coax output to the soundbar optical input. I think the 40018 model does what you need.

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.

It's all hard wires to this unit. Buy a set of sound bar. It works with the sound bar via optical cable.

The sound bar has two input options, analog RCA (red and white) and Digital Coax (black). The oCosmo site does not list digital optical output for the CE3230V model in the specs but does list analog RCA (red and white), Digital Coax (black) and a headphone jack for audio outputs. You would need to use one of those TV outputs with the corresponding input on the sound bar, utilizing the appropriate cables. As this is not my primary TV (mostly used to watch sports on the patio), I simply use the RCA connections and I am pleased with the sound from the sound bar and the picture from the TV. Hope this helps and good luck.

Actually I'm using the optical audio output from my Sony tv to the optical input of the sound bar...not sure why it wouldn't work when using the red/white output from your tv into the soundbar...all I did was hook it up and turn my TV speaker off...make sure the blue light is lit up on the soundbar when powered up...

I don't have an optical source on my television. I was using the coaxile cable and the other cables supplied with the unit.

The only way I could get my system to work was to use the optic cable. At the present time, I turn on my TV first, then my sound bar. I do have to use a desperate remote. Still working thru that issue. Otherwise, I love the sound bar. It is no true surround sound, but close enough for me at the price point.I as never able to get the system to work thru HDMI or ARC, no matter what I did, even got online. Good luck. The optic works once you hit the function key on the remote. I found out by accident, just before I was getting ready to return. Glad I didn't!!!!
