My Philips TV has a port for digital audio but my iLive speaker bar has ports for RCA. Will this work?

Almost! You will need a digital to audio converter first......here is the one I bought.... http://www.amazon.com/Orei-DA21X-Premium-Converter-Headphone/dp/B00F4ORTZ6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1427066981&sr=8-4&keywords=digital+to+audio+converter You connect the "Toslink" cable that comes with the converter.......from the TV to the converter. Then you connect the RCA cable from the other end of the converter.....to your sound bar. It works very well......GT:)

Your welcome :) Actually....if your sound bar has a pair of RCA inputs......then all you need to connect to the digital converter is a pair of RCA cables (red and white). The Mediabridge splitter cable give you the ability to connect (2) different components to one source. If you are just connecting between the sound bar and the digital converter, you do not need the splitter cable. GT:)

If you have a single (yellow) digital audio (SPDIF) "out" jack on the TV, that is specifically for a digital audio "in" jack on another component. Pretty much every TV also has red and white audio out jacks. Those are what you connect to the sound bar. Alternatively, many TVs have an optical (Toslink) jack for audio out. I believe that your sound bar has one too. That would be preferable. AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

Hi Th, Sony KDL40S2000 TV suppports Analog Audio In, Audio Out, Component Video, Composite Video Input, Digital Audio Output, RF Connection Input, S-Video Input, Headphone Output, Pc Video Input, HDMI Connection. Check with SoundBar manufacturer if any of these connections will work on their product. -Vincent

I used a Digital Audio cable (optical)in the back of the tv to the sound bar. Works just fine.

As long as your receiver has a digital optical out if not I'm sure your receiver has auxillary outs in which case the sound bar also has av in on it ( the red and white plugs)

Hi Miranda,Being a DVD player only (and not a surround system/DVD combo), you only have the standard digital output (coax style, NOT optical) and the red/white RCA outputs. You would need to purchase an amplifier to hook your speakers to after using the 2 outputs I just described. What model is your old Philips? If I can look that one up, I can probably give you an even better answer.Mike

Hi Shawn.... I have mine hooked up to DISH also and to my audio / video receiver. I do believe if your sound bar has optical outlet you should be fine. :)

You would have to get an adaptor. Perhaps Radio Shack has an adaptor that goes from dual male rca (your tv) to female 3.5mm ( the speaker set)Kev

I have a similar tv - an LG - and it works. If you can change the digital audio out setting on the tv to PCM format the sound bar can get the job done.

Hello Lori- Per the Philips website Digital Coaxial should work along with Component along with the Analog audio out. "Connectivity Rear Connections: Analog audio Left/Right out, Component Video output, Composite video (CVBS) output, Digital coaxial out" Regards, The AV House Team

You must convert the output signal from your TV audio, which is a digital signal over a coaxial cable type to an optical signal with a Toslink cable. The input into the sound bar will only receive an optical signal using the type of cable fitting dedicated for optical signals. I used this exact same converter on my TV and it worked perfectly. It's been installed for nearly a year and has performed flawlessly.

There are basically two inputs on this. One is an optical and the other is rca. My tv has an optical out, so everything runs through my television then out to my sound bar. That way if you just want to use the sound from the tv you can.

I wouldn't recommend it. Check the impedance rating of the soundbar. If it's not 6 or 8 ohm, then it's not meant to take input signal from the amplifier. The soundbar is expecting digital sound signal from a TV. Not meant to be hooked up to speaker outputs from the amplifier.

This will take the sound from digital coax and digital toslink (optical) to the standard RCA (red/white) output. You will have to buy the cables to go with it (Optical cable and RCA cable) but yes it will work for you.

Yes, this should work but make sure you plug in the correct end into your TV, but I'm not sure what your audio receiver has to do with it.

It has digital optical and RCA input, but I do not believe it has RCA output.

As far as I know, no such port exists on the TV itself. I would suggest that you run your digital Dolby 5.1 or other composite audio output to an external HI-FI, to which you have attached a sub-woofer.
