how do I hook it up to my TV? I don't have Blue Tooth on my TV. Only and Optical Out

This sound bar has a 3.5mm analogue input (aka headphone jack size) and two optical (TOS Link) inputs. If your TV has an optical out you would purchase a compatible cable to take the TVs output and input it in the sound bar.

Blue Tooth is not required to hook up to your TV. Standard Optical IN / OUT connections work fine. This allows synchronization of the Sound Bar with your TV Remote, whereby you utilize your TV Remote to increase the sound as normal, but instead of increasing the volume of the TV Speakers, it does so to the Sound Bar. I used the Sound Bar remote control to make some fine adjustments to the Blue Tooth Sub-Woofer (only needed to do this once). Sound is amazing overall. Highly recommend.

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

The best quality sound, and the easiest way, is to get a Digital Optical Cable. One plug in, one plug out to TV. I bought one from Amazon Basics, and it has worked great for the last 7 months. Not to expensive, either.

the easiest way, i think, would be to connect everything to your TV and run a single audio out to your surround sound system. I personnally use an optical out from my tv to my home theater set up as my TV has far more connections than my receiver.

There should be a port on the TV designed for the optical adapter. The port will be round, like a headphone jack, which is why you need the adapter. Check your TV's manual for information on the optical output connection.

Use the optical out on your player and the optical cable that comes with the soundbar. Don't forget to take the plastic covers off of the optical cables first. If your blu-ray doesn't have an optical out, buy a different sound bar.

Hey Craig-Which optical input connection on the Onkyo receiver did you use to connect the optical cable from your TV? I'm not having success. :-(

Most digital cable boxes have optical outputs now. If yours has it, hook the optical cable between your cable box and the sound bar and you should be good to go.

It may be better to connect devices straight to the tv, but I have an elite 101-fd, so it doesn't even have audio out. So I'd have to use my oppo player's 2 hdmi IN and use optical and then have ne device with no sound.

You will have to connect the optical cable from the TV to your home theater receiver. Once this is done then you have to select the TV source on your home theater system to get sound through the TV. That is how I was able to get it to work for me. Hope this helps.

Some TV's have an optical output, some have Stereo RCA (Red/White) outputs and some TV's have a 3.5mm plug (headphone jack). I personally haven't seen/heard of a TV that has bluetooth (or would stream its audio output through bluetooth) and the LG Soundbar only connects wirelessly through Bluetooth. If your TV has optical output then you can use the optical cable

My relatively new TV didn't and doesn't have "audio out" outlets either. I simply used the "digital audio out" outlet on the TV and connected it with a single cable (which probably came with the TV EARS Speaker - I can't remember) to the optical audio outlet on the TV EARS transmitter. I'm guessing that your new TV has a digital or optical outlet instead of the older audio out outlets as well .... but obviously this is just a guess on my part. Good luck!

Use the optical connector. Our takes the sound from the tv back to the unit

IF you have a satelite or cable box, you hook up to that. If the sound bar is blue tooth only them you have to have a blue tooth ready TV or some kind of adapter. Of you have any type of wire hookup you can always find an adapter so you can hook up to some other kind of wire.

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.

Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole. Ie look on the bottom of your tv for something that says "digital audio out" to connect the digital audio cord from the base to the tv. If you don't have that, look in same area for something that says "audio right" and "audio left" or it might say "audio R" and "audio L" then plug in your yellow and white cord to the connectors and other end of cord goes to your tv ears base. No wires are connected from the tv ears to the base as they are wireless. Hope this helps you out. Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole.
