Optical Cord For Soundbar To Sony 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.

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).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Bar 300 is a compact soundbar that packs a mighty punch. From the factory, JBL provides everything you need to get started. With the Bar 300, you get wall mount brackets, an HDMI cord, a power cord, and a remote with batteries. I wanted to mount my Bar 300 below my wall mounted TV, so I ordered additional universal mounting brackets and got to work. The bracket mounts on the bottom of the Bar 300 are very shallow; I had to be careful when attaching the brackets to not over tighten the bolts. After getting the Bar 300 fixed to my TV mount, the rest of the setup was a cinch. I used a Digital Optical cable to connect my Bar 300 to my PC. My PC is able to output Dolby Digital at 192kHz to the Bar 300 and it sounds fantastic. On the Bar 300, I adjusted the bass to the max, level 5, and didn't adjust any other equalizer settings. I also allowed the soundbar to automatically calibrate before listening to any music. Afterwards, I listened to my favorite demo song, Comfortably Numb and was blown away. I was surprised at the bass the Bar 300 provides without a subwoofer. It also clearly presented the high notes with great clarity. Watching Twitch streams allows the Dialogue Enhancement tech to really shine. Broadcasters now come through over the gameplay and music without being muffled. Overall the Bar 300 is a great compact sound bar that brings JBL's high quality sound to the living room.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was absolutely amazed at how easy this soundbar was to set up. From opening the box to fully using the soundbar was less than two minutes. There was one cord to plug into my TV, and one cord for power. I didn't even need to consult the directions to get it going. The sound quality is really good. It makes watching movies so much better. I also love that I can use either the remote for my TV or the remote that came with the soundbar to operate it. I am thoroughly impressed by the high quality of this item and how absolutely simple it was to install. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so thrilled that I finally took steps to upgrade my home theatre sound with the Samsung Soundbar S50B. I love my smart TV, but the sound quality on its own is not at all smart. I found myself constantly turning the volume up and down in a battle to find the right level because speaking was too quiet but music and sound effects were way too loud. The Samsung Soundbar has solved that issue immediately with no need for adjustment on my end; the sound as I watch movies, TV, or play video games is well balanced. I also have satellite radio on my TV, and it sounds awesome on the soundbar. Setup was super easy too- I just used the included HDMI cord to plug in to the HDMI/ARC port on my TV, plug in the power cord, and select the source and it was ready to go with no troubleshooting needed. I just love when something works like it's supposed to the first time, and is intuitive. I'm a happy camper!

worked great under my corner mounted sony 4k tv with a sony soundbar

Use it over optical digital from TV Sony XBR-65X900C. Comfortably covers my big ears and delivers incredible surround sound. As expected from Sennheiser, the Dynamic Base is great for music, but there is no better setup for late-night TV and movies.
