Hi James. I received your question on Amazon since I left a previous review. I don't know how your setup is, but I have ARC compatibility on my TV. I have the soundbar linked through the ARC HDMI port, and, and my PS3 (which I use for Blue Ray) in another HDMI port. By using ARC, the TV speakers become disabled, and the soundbar is now the speaker system. I use only one remote, and it changes the volume and tv channels flawlessly. If you don't have ARC compatibility on your TV, then I unfortunately don't know how to help. Thanks.

Blu-Ray to HDMI and the sound bar using the Digital Audio out. That's how I have mine. Works fine but not too impressed with the sound quality of the speakers. Ok if used with TV speakers.

you run a hdmi cable from the blu ray player to the sub woofer then run one from the sub woofer to the tv

No you cannot because the bluray only has video outputs not inputs. You have an audio input option using digital but that's about it. What exactly are you trying to accomplish ??

We recommend you obtain an Optical to Analog adapter with a built-in Dolby Digital converter. The Optical connects the TV's optical output jack to the adapter and the adapter's red and white jacks connect to the sound bar.

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 . . . . .

I am using this devise with a Soundbar that my TV and DVD feed into. You flip the little switch between the two. It works.

The sound bar has TWO optical inputs, so just hook up the optical cable from your blu-ray player to the second input. And BTW, your blu-ray player will be connected to your HDTV via an 'HDMI' cable, NOT RCA cables. If you use RCA cables, you will only get standard definition video and audio!!

hook two leads from soundbar into cable box not tv or use RCA splitter and use both tv and soundbar speakers

The D/A converter unit has standard RCA jack outputs which can be connected to any analog preamplifier, amplifier or low-level tape-style (250mV) inputs. So the sound data flows from TV (digital) to the optical OR Coaxial cable connected to the D/A converter. The analog outputs then can connect to any powered speaker unit or amp with analog (unbalanced) RCA connections. If the "soundbar" has an analog input, it should work. Many have digital coax or optical inputs, and in this case, the D/A converter is completely unnecessary.

I have this exact setup and it works fine. My soundbar has optical input, but my headphones are analog, so the second line from the splitter actually goes to an analog converter, which the wireless headphones connect to. Perfect sound in both the soundbar and the headphones.

did you hook the receiver to the soundbar so the receiver should be the output and the soudbar should be the input if it is the other way it will not work

Either a digital optical or coaxial optical cable. Your TV most certainly has an output for one or both of those, which will connect your TV to soundbar. It should also work to transmit sound to the sound bar from devices plugged into your TV via HDMI(cable box, dvd, Xbox, etc). I have my unit connected with a coaxial digital cable and t sounds great and also has the bonus of not tying up and HDMI input ont TV because I use them all already.

Connect the 3D Bluray player w/HDMI direct to TV, and the sound through optical from BD player to receiver.

Use the optical out on your player and the optical cable that comes with the soundbar. Don't forget to take the plastic covers off of the optical cables first. If your blu-ray doesn't have an optical out, buy a different sound bar.

You can use one HDMI cable and also use the digital audio input on your sound bar. Most cable boxes have the output the ps3 should as well.

We use the hdmi 1 on the soundbar to go to the hdmi 1/arc on the vizio 47" tv. Then we have a sony blue ray player connected via hdmi to the hdmi 2 slot on the sound bar and a Tivo connected via hdmi to the hdmi 3 slot on the soundbar. Hope that helps.

Since the only signal you need to send to the unit is audio, the only input connections you care about are 2 analog (RCA to 3.5mm or 3.5mm to RCA) and 2 digital (Digital Optical or Digital Coaxial). Digital gives you a better quality sound, but I would send the digital audio directly from the source (Receiver or Blu-Ray player) and not the TV. For best results, I use a fiber optic (Toslink) cable from Blu-ray player to Sound bar.
