TV doesn't have audio output and Vizio bar only has a red and white plug in. Is this what I need to make it work?

I don't think so. The red and white plugs are stereo RCA plugs which are analog audio. This device converts a fiber optic output to a digital Coaxial input. Most TVs have some type of audio output either Fiber optic, RCA, or 1/8 inch stereo plug. You need to determine what your TV has and get a cable that will connect it to RCA jacks.

No. This product is not a DAC. You need a DAC. This product converts fiber optic digital toslink to a rca style coaxial digital connection.

I had to plug in my sound bar to the HEADPHONE jack of the TV. Try that and see if it doesn"t work for you too.

If your TV has RCA or similar mini plugins for audio output, it will work, as well as larger or smaller wattage output similar amplifiers. You will need speakers and speaker wire with the amp.

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.

You can use the Audio outputs on the tv, they should be red and white. Let me know the model number of your tv if you cant find the audio out.

There is an optical output in the TV , the optical input from sound bar should be connected to the optical output of the TV. I am not sure if this will work with other TV. I think if there is an optical output, it may work.

I have my tv connected to the soundbar with the optical port, and it works for the tv and the cable box. The dvd player I have it connected with the regular red and white cables. Make sure you change the output, if you try with all outputs, then maybe is the optical cable that is bad, or maybe you don't have it connected all the way. Check the connections again. Soryy that is all I can thimk of, I am no expert, but it waorks for me.

If you connect the bluray to the tv, the sound output from the tv to the sound bar should work.

If you TV has a HDMI connection it should work or use the audio out from the TV to the line 1 or 2 connections on the sound bar.

That'll work. What I did since I have multiple things connected to my tv (gaming system, satellite, blue ray player), I have all these things connected to my tv via HDMI cable with the tv connected to the soundbar via optical cable; I get to utilize the soundbar for all my connections this way.

If the particular sound bar has HDMI inputs and outputs then yes it should work, but I'm reading the optical connections don't work in that cofiguration

Quick answer: you have to have the HDMI Cable(recent version) that supports sound and follow the instruction in the manual. I just used the optic cable and hooked it directly to TV optic. That was the most simple and it plays sound with everything else I have hooked up to TV without having to select each input port. Hopefully you have the optic port on your TV :-)P.S. Even though this sound bar description does not say it comes with the optic cable, mine had one taped to the styrofoam inside the box, so look carefully.

I have the same bar. I hooked up the bar to tv as instructed and hooked up the DVD player as instructed. Be sure to shut the sound off on TV to use external sound.

Be sure that you are connecting the tv and the soundbar (on the "out" input) with the kind of hdmi cable that also carries ethernet. I wasn't at first and I did get sound but it wasn't right.

This particular sound bar does not have a HDMI port. You can use the optical input or the A/V cables if your TV has them.
