Mini Soundbar Optical For Tv

Love that TV , but I wished it had an Optical connection for my Soundbar.

This adapter worked perfectly to connect my tv, which only had an optical output, to the soundbar.

Paired the Sub Mini with an ARC soundbar in conjunction with a 55" TV. The room is 12x 18. The MINI enhances the sound appropriately and accurately, no artificial "juke box bass". The feature that tunes the system to the room works. Overall I am very pleased with both the ARC and the MINI sub. Foolproof installation, practically did it by itself.

I received my SRS-NS7 from B&H about a week ago and was totally hooked on it within an hour of starting to use it. However I want to offer some strong advice to those who plan to use one of these while watching TV alongside other viewers. My wife and I normally sit about 12 ft from our TV monitor and typically sit close enough that we rub shoulders. We have a Sonos soundbar under the monitor, with surround sound speakers at each end of our loveseat. I wear hearing aids but Patty does not. The optical output of the TV goes to a splitter with one output going to the soundbar and the other going to the Bluetooth transmitter for the SRS-NS7. With the arrangement described above, we both heard sound from the soundbar and the NS7, and there was enough latency difference to irritate us both. I have a technical background and had anticipated such a latency effect, but had no knowledge of the actual delays with either device. I spoke with an audio expert at B&H, asking for advice about a variable delay device that has optical input(s) and output(s). He could not recommend such a device that is currently available from B&H but did suggest a Felston DD740 that B&H used to carry. I looked up the characteristics of the DD740 and agreed that it seemed to be exactly what I needed. I purchased one from LipFix.com, after talking with their Nick Johnson. It arrived yesterday. After connecting my new DD740 in series with the optical input to the Bluetooth transmitter of the SRS-NS7 and experimenting with the delay, I found that a delay of 55mS yields NO perceptible latency effects that interfere with either what Patty and I hear while watching TV. The bottom line: We both enjoy hearing REALLY EXCELLENT sound, including very clear dialogue, while watching TV together AND I get the benefit of superb sound while editing videos etc. with the SRS-NS7 connected to the Bluetooth of my computer systems. I could not be happier with this purchase! Pete

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really enjoying the LG S60T Soundbar. The soundbar and the subwoofer were both packaged very securely. Was a very easy set up right out of the box. Connected the soundbar to my TV via Optical Cord as my TV does not have the Bluetooth option. I really like how the subwoofer is wireless which allows me to move it anywhere in my living room for optimal sound when watching tv or especially a movie. The sound quality is great and the difference between the soundbar and my TV speakers is quite noticeable. The remote to control the soundbar is not too bulky, but also not small and easy to lose or see/press the buttons like most other sound bars. It's also very well labelled and organized as it pertains to volume, mute, source, mode, etc. The only issue I have had with the sound bar is it loses connection sometimes if the TV sits idle for a while. In order to fix, I had to unplug the Optical cord, and plug it back in in order to get it to reconnect. Has happened twice so far, but not a deal breaker. Overall, I think the quality of the soundbar was well worth the purchase.

I wanted to get a soundbar for a TV that I inherited. Space was a consideration. This LG SK1 is just right at a good price. Note that it comes with cable for optical hookup so you don't need to buy one separate (I didn't see this in the description, so I now have an extra optical cable).

I use the Sub Mini paired with the Ray soundbar for TV audio and part of my musical audio system and it works excellently for both. The bass is strong and solid but can be tailored to any music type, video content, or time of day. The sub level can be adjusted to accomodate a gentle to heavy ear and can be appropriately subdued for nighttime use with sleeping kids in the next room or in close quarters within close proximity to neighbors. The bass response and sound is incredibly excellent at low, medium, and high volumes. We have an open floorplan with living/dining/kitchen/bar (~1000sqft) and a vaulted ceiling that is filled with great sound from the Sub Mini and a few other Sonos components.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soundbar is mini but yet mighty. This sounds great and is a great add on to am old non smart TV. It provides great sound and also a great smart TV interface. I can stream and the great TV and video services as well as get Roku TV free channels. This is a must buy for any non smart TV owners who want a smart TV.

Used as soundbar for our Samsung TV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG Soundbar S80TR sounds fantastic. Movies, TV shows, and games are more immersive with added sound. We previously used our TV speakers for a number of years, and the LG Soundbar S80TR took everything to a whole new level. Setting up and installing the LG Soundbar took less than thirty minutes to complete. You're able to utilize your Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity to listen to Spotify or audio directly from your phone, tablet, or PC. You can also Cast content directly to the soundbar. You're also to update and main the soundbar via the LG Soundbar App. Within the app you can adjust the output volume for each speaker. This is ideal if you live in an apartment or you don't want to wake your family at night. While playing content that supports a 5.1.3 setup, you're able to hear voices and sound effects all around you. The 5 represents the amount of speakers in the soundbar; the .1 represents the subwoofer, and finally, the .3 represents the Dolby Atmos speakers. The added Dolby Atmos speakers sends the audio to the ceiling and back to the listener. When you hear the added sound and clarity, you'll wonder why you didn't upgrade to a soundbar sooner. I wholeheartedly recommend the LG Soundbar S80TR to anyone wants to elevate their viewing or listening experience.
