Unfortunately I did not have good luck with my unit and ultimately returned it. I can't answer you question with any degree of certainty. Sorry.

Channels? It sounds like problem is in the source, tv, cable tv, Blu-Ray. Try using optical input, if is posible.

The Optical out from the TV needs to connect into a splitter with an optical in . From that point on just connect each line out from the splitter into each box.Let me know what it sounds like? You will need 3 optical connections plus an optical splitter (1 in and 2 out)

I have the same question - has someone tried to connect their TV's optical output to this device's SPDIF input? Please please, someone let me know.

Yes I hooked an optical out to my main Killer speaker system and can play the speaker in the TV at the same time but, The speakers that come with the TV are just average.

Does your tv have an optical output? If so, yes this is what you need. Most HD flat panels have one. My spare tv is 10 years old and rocks it. What you'll need is a male-male rca cable (they typically have red and white tips), an open electric socket on your power strip, and an optical cable. This is really easy to setup. The hardest thing for me to do was plug the optical cable in... My tv is wall mounted, that's why it was hard. Once all the cables are hooked up, red to red, white to white, optical to optical, and the converter is plugged in you just need to access your TV's sound settings. Turn off your TV speakers and change the audio output to optical. Then you'll be watching your movies, cable, and Amazon Fire in surround sound.

I dont think any TV will output true Dolby, so it's not the problem with this one. FYI, they gave a wrong remote for this one :(.

Using optical from cable box, sounds like tv has a stereo signal cable box i have has no sound at all via HDMI i think the tv would pass it thru if it were available. oh optical is into philips 5.1 blu ray system always on to opti in or fm radio tuner.

You can route the audio through your TV "if" your TV has an optical output. You would want to check and make sure.

Does your receiver have an "optical" output? If it does, try hooking that to the Soundbar. Have an HDMI and an Optical hooked up and they both work fine . . . . .

Make sure your tv is on the external speaker setting, but if blu ray is ran through the receiver the tv shouldn't have to be on......

Make sure your input src is clean. If you pass through the tv it may not work, get audio straight from the sat box or whatever and make sure that outputs dolby 5.1.

On our LG TV, I have to set the TV audio out to LG optical out and it works fine. The generic optical out gives only noise/static.

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

Yes-I think that it is. On the output I am using the optical out. On the play, I do not use all of the features. I just use play, and then press the random button on the remote. JD

You can't. There's only one analog input and the optical option from the tv
