Digital audio out to digital audio in.

Hi Sam,

I don't understand. Can you show me some google results on what to buy

schan1269 · Jul 18, 2014

Read your owners manuals.The spec sheet for your TV says it has a digital audio out. Problem is, the spec sheet doesn't say which one. There is...CoaxToslinkMini-ToslinkYour owners manual tells you which one. If you look, there is a 1000000000000000% chance it has a label.Your soundbar might have both coax and toslink. If it only has one(type), probably Toslink.That is in the owners manual.If your TV is coax and the bar is Toslink...then you'll need a work around.That work around is a coax/toslink adapter(you have to make sure which one you get as both directions exist...and they don't work backwards).

MY TV Coax is connected to Cable. Is there anyway I can connect soundbar TOSLink to tv other than coax?

schan1269 · Jul 18, 2014

Coax digital audio is nowhere near the same thing as coax F-type.Again, which digital audio output does it have?It is labelled.

I am not at home right now, I will see if I can find users manual in web and let you know, otherwise I will let you know in the evening

schan1269 · Jul 18, 2014

Look on Amazon for...Coax digital audio cable.Toslink digital audio cable.Mini-Toslink digital audio cable.Then...look at your LABELLLED digital audio output to see which one looks correct. It will be OBVIOUS.

Sam,

Have a look at the attachment. The coaxial cable says as audio output, but I am running cable wire to it which is working fine. Is there anyway I can hookup TOSLink to other pins?

schan1269 · Jul 18, 2014

Look again. CLOSELY.5 and 6 are NOT THE SAME THING. Let's hope the 660 has a coax.

srinkoo · Jul 18, 2014

It doesnt have COAX , is there a way I can connect from Coax of TV to HDMI of soundbar?

schan1269 · Jul 18, 2014

No.Read above. Already supplied the answer. (8 posts above. The adapter)

Here is the link to soundbar manual

So, is there any way I can connect sound bar to tv?

schan1269 · Jul 18, 2014

I'll spell it out.To the TV you will connect a coax audio cable. To the other end of this coax audio cable you will connect to the coax side of a coax to Toslink adapter. This coax to Toslink adapter on the other side has a Toslink. That Toslink that exists on the other side of this adapter you will connect a Toslink cable.The other end of this Toslink cable will connect to the soundbar.

Two more questions

1) End of Toslink that connects to sound bar goes into Analog IN port of sound bar?
2) I found one in amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Coaxial-Toslink-Optical-Converter/dp/B001622FL8). I buy this, a coaxial audio cable, and toslink cable ?

schan1269 · Jul 18, 2014

No. There is a port called Optical. That is the Toslink.And yes, that adapter.

srinkoo · Jul 18, 2014

OK, I will try fixing it today evening and let you know, Thanks for the help

schan1269 · Jul 18, 2014

By the way, once you connect this, you have to tell the TV.Usually...Go into the set up menu and turn the TV speakers off(disable....whatever).Various sub menus...Variable or fixed. Choose fixed(so the soundbar has volume control).PCM or DD. Try both. I think the 660 can do DD.

Okay I will do that
