❤How to hook up philips soundbar to vizio tv ❤ Click here: http://mutathtersco.darkandlight.ru/?dt&keyword=how+to+hook+up+philips+soundbar+to+vizio+tv&source=bitbin.it2_dt Some tv's do not have an audio output if this is the case then you will have to hook it up to an output of another source such as DVD player or cable box. Simply stated, it turns one to the HDMI inputs on the TV into an HDMI audio output.

I just bought a ILIVE tower sound bar with built-in subwoofer ITP152B module. I hope this helps! The idea is to get everything connected however you can. The ARC print is activated in D. Is there an anolog audio out port on this tv to avoid the converter. They stand behind their sales. You will need to know which port, if any, carries the ARC signal and is compatible. Just a simpleton question…. Con appears to be only one digital line from bar to TV. Alas, it did not make a difference. I have a Sharp Tv ,Roku, and CS-30 sound bar. Big Picture Big Sound - The problem, of course, is that many people have their flat panel TVs mounted on a wall. What am I doing wrong? I am very happy with the setup and love the sound. I have been able to connect my Blu-Ray, cable box, and Roku directly to the soudbar without a problem. I recently decided that I wanted the sound to come directly from my LCD. To do this, i purchased a converter that allows me to go from digital coaxial to digital optical since the back of the set only has a digital coaxial out and the soundbar only takes an optical input. I hooked up the cable from my TV to the box, plugged in the box, and connected the optical cable to the soundbar. I can't get the sound to come out of the soundbar from any of my devices.

Thanks, Charles Charles, Were you able to get this issue fixed? I think I have a similiar issue with the Philips LCD I bought Saturday. With my Vizio LCD the TV controlled all my audio to the Vizio soundbar but as with you my new Philips as only digital coax OUT. I'm tempted to take the TV back if I can't get it to work the way I want it to. Thanks I also have a Phillips LCD TV and it has only the digital coax as an Audio Out option. The sound bars I have been looking at have usually at least 2 optical inputs so I have not considered this a big issue. At the same time it might be easier to run everything through the TV and only use 1 input. Also it would use less wires. Please let us know what you found out. I don't recall seeing a menu option to turn off the speakers on my Phillips TV. I would think that you would just have to lower the volumn all the way.

Also, if your TV has a choice of Stereo or PCM the TV use that setting as the Vizio can not handle 5. Thanks for the reply. I have looked through the manual and the menus and can't seem to turn off the internal speakers. Originally Posted by iDavid Charles, Were you able to get this issue fixed?

I tried with different devices cable box and blu-ray player to see if that would help. Alas, it did not make a difference.

Clayton I tried lowering the volume all the way and that did not make a difference. Maybe the audio output options on the back are there just for show?? Thanks for the reply. I have looked through the manual and the menus and can't seem to turn off the internal speakers. I hooked it up to PC speakers via the headphone jack. The illustration with the owner's manual shows analog audio output on the rear of the TV next to the digital coax. Not sure if this is correct or not. If correct, you solve all of your problems with a pair of analog RCA cables from TV to the analog input on the soundbar. I also found under the menu the following that may work for digital Select TV Menu Select TV Settings Select Sound From here I am making guesses as the manual does not show what the selections might be Select Volume - see if there is an option here to turn the volume OFF or redirect all volume functions to the external ouuputs. Select Auto Surround - see if there is a setting to either turn surround off or select 2-ch or Dolby 2-ch If none of these selections work, my guess is the two devices are not going to be at all compatible. Hope this helps as I have just come to realise this myself and will be buying a better soundbar than the Vizio one that I bought on sale and am now returning Roty:. I currently run my Direct box into my Xbox One via HDMI, and out of the xbox one to the tv via HDMI. The Xbox One also has a SPDIF output on it. I don't have any options in my TV menu to turn off the Internal speakers, or to switch to external, etc. If I buy an SPDIF cable and run it from the Xbox to the Soundbar.... Or does someone else have a better suggestion?
