Does it have an optic out for sound? I need this for Sonos compatibility.

Yes, it does. There is a jack in the back that says it's a Digital Audio Out (Optical). This is a very nice TV! And it works well with DirecTv's 3D programming. When I bought mine it came with a Samsung 3D DVD player and that renders exceptional 3D as well.

only has aux in , this is a very simple but powerful speaker that works thru Bluetooth . I believe they make other versions that would pair up with Sonos, suggest asking manufacturer directly. Good Luck

It just has RCA, co-axial and optical connections. (And I had to buy an optical cord)Hope this helps!

The Sonos doesn't support DTS, so if you have Bluray's with DTS only you get no surround with the Sonos sound bar, whereas with the Sony it fully supports DTS.

Yes, nothing to buy either. It comes with the single optic cable or you can use the included RCA cables

Yes, it has a digital optical output that I use to connect to my sound bar. This is a great tv and you cannot beat the price, especially with the ROKU stick included. Enjoy!

There is an auxiliary input on the back as well as a fiber optic input. I purchased this exact one and I love it sound quality is great. Thank You Ryan Persad 470.216.4451 Persad2605@gmail.com

Yes, it supports both 5.1 and 7.1 sound output from the optical out. I use it with my Sonos soundbar and it is a perfect match.

The SONOS has a line-in connector on the back panel. Just connect it to your TV with a cable and use line-in option from software.

No, u need an optical out from the TV to connect to the Sonos Sound Bar. Do not need a receiver .

No man, it only has HDMI gate only, no speaker is installed in it, you should go to Viewsonic official website to check for detail!

Oh...sorry I missed your question. You need to buy an "Optic" cable. You can get it at radion shack or somewhere that sells stereo electronics. It was like 20 bucks. It lools almost like clear plastic or glass on each end. But your TV has to have this as an ouput.

I asked Sonos support a somewhat similar question regarding using their DAC. If you don't care for the DAC in the Connect, you can always use the digital optical out on it (this bypasses its own internal DAC) and send it to whatever DAC you'd like for the conversion. Basically, as long as you aren't using any analog connection out, it stays digital and you can do whatever you'd like with it.

No it doesn't. The input is std. L & R RCA female plugs. I bought a cable from Best Buy that plugs into the stereo output on my tv and splits into L&R male RCA plugs. I have a fiber optic output but I can't use it with this soundbar. But I am curious if the sound will be better or different with the optic.

It has a digital audio out (optical). You need to get an optical cord and connect it to your receiver. http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10229 Need a toslink to toslink cable

You only need the playbar to play sonos through the tv without a receiver. Otherwise, a bridge alone will allow you to play music through the speakers.

No speakers but it does have both an audio jack and an optical audio output jack.
