Tv Digital Optical Coax For Soundbar

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).

Just bought this on Monday and have it hooked up via the digital optical since my TV does not have HDMI-Arc. Autosound on and so far clear audio and even music sounds good on the HT-S100F. Word of advice, if anyone is running a Roku from the last couple years, Dolby Digital can only output through HDMI-Arc. Ill be upgrading my TV in the near future to get that feature. Overall very satisified with this purchase and would recommend to others!

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.

Unfortunately it had to connect via digital optical port on my older Plasma TV, but sound quality and connectivity to my new Ace is great. I typically watch programs on Cable, a lot of YouTube videos ( concerts and YouTubers ) and music from a variety of music services ranging from Sirius XM to Sonos Radio, Apple and YouTube Music. And now TV Swap to my Ace.

Used as soundbar for our Samsung TV.

Great slim design for behind TV with phone, ethernet and Coax protection. Very easy to install and use.
