Philips soundbar keeps turning off

Echo Dots can also be connected to your soundbar through an AUX (3.5mm) cable. This is because Dots are equipped with an AUX output port, and most soundbars have an AUX input. This is an easy, wired connection that is possible with a soundbar, as long as your soundbar and Dot are near one another (or you have a long AUX cable).
Here’s how to make your wired connection through an AUX cable:
Get a 3.5mm AUX cord. Make sure it is a good length
Open up your Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone
Select ‘Devices’ from the Main Menu Settings
Select your Dot by its name
Select ‘AUX Audio’, then ‘Line In or Line Out’
Connect your AUX cord to your Echo and your soundbar
Now you are connected through your AUX (3.5mm) cord, and any streaming or listening on your Echo Dot will come through your soundbar as long as both are powered on. If you ever want to listen to your Echo Dot through another device, simply disconnect the AUX cable from your soundbar.

Please get a optical cable and run it from TV to soundbar for best sound. If you are using aux input on sound bar that will work but it is analog sound. TV needs to have mini audio out or red/white output on it maybe labeled audio out

Does your TV have a Digital optical port? It's a cable that sends a red light source. That is actually how you're suppose to hook up a soundbar. digital optical cable Bing images Straight forward. Plug and play. If you're TV doesn't have an optical port, as I know your soundbar does then you have to use a stereo Y Cable. 3.5mm to Red/White. Sound bar will have 33% the power going this way as opposed to an optical cable. Aux Audio Out has a itty bitty amp pushing power. Purpose of the Digital optical Cable is a light source.

Think you can set sound bar to play via Bluetooth .go into the settings of the tv and look for Bluetooth.when the sound bar is on make it discoverable and the tv will pick it up.if you don't have Bluetooth then check to see if there is an option switch in settings to use external speakers.check cable and also check volume on sound bar is not muted.also see if you can link the tv to sound bar via optical link cable as this is much better than RCA red/ white audios which tend to fail as people pull on the cable rather than the plugs when removing them from equipment.

There is only one set of out jacks, the rest are in and they are usually right next to the in jacks. You are looking for a set of red and white colored plugs, some have a yellow with that would make three next to each other. The sound bar will work whenever the power is on then all you do is turn down the sound on the tv.

To the best of my understanding an Aux port is usually an input port. So you might be sticking the sound bar terminals into the wrong connector in TV. The audio signal from the TV is meant to go into the Aux In port of the sound bar. Usually this will mean a pair of RCA cables (white and red) from TV out to Aux In. If you have done the right things then maybe check if soundbar is not in mute. Try some other source as well. Like connecting an iPhone or ipod stereo out to the Line In port in soundbar and selecting LineIn mode.
see page 7 in the soundbar manual. It is hard to know what TV connection you are using. Is it selected on the TV settings? http://www.goodmans.co.uk/support/downloads/user-guides/GDSB02BT20-ib.pdf

What did you plug into on television. Make sure it is Audio Out could be wrongly connected to component out or Audio in. Have you plugged in and turned on the AC power pack as this could be another possible cause of problems as the sound bar requires power. You may have a faulty AC power pack or power point.
I looked it up on Ilive's web site
32 Bluetooth Sound BarITB183B Press the power button first before selecting Source.Use the Source button on the control unit to switch between optical , aux inputs, line in. If you plugged it into the AUX in on the back you need to select Aux inputs (indicated by a white light) on the speaker. Do you have the user manual if not it is at http://www.iliveelectronics.com/fileuploader/download/download/?d=0&file=custom/upload/File-1380574738.pdf

Hope this helps as I do not have one myself

You will need some type of cable, Look at the ports on your tv and soundbar.

If you see both have red and white ports then all you need is red and white audio cables.

If you see both have auxillary input ports then all you will need is a standard aux cable. (3.5mm is the standard)

If you see HDMI slots then you can use a HDMI cable.

If you see a digital audio input port then you can use a digital audio cable.

Luckily makers give us several options on how we want to configure our systems and the variability of the ports allow us to fully customize it. I hope this helped. All of the a fore mentioned cables can be found at your local electronics/department store.

Aside from the xbox360 working via the coaxial digital cable. I got the PS3 to work this way.

I had to use the supplied SCART > (Y-video) (Red-Audio) (White-Audio) cable. Basically plugged this in from the PS3 directly to the MX 3950D Aux (Auxiliary) audio input.

On the PS3 audio settings menu, switched from HDMI to the 3rd option SCART.

Turn on the MX 3950D and set to Aux. Bang, got sound again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I missed this cause I "assumed" the video/audio cable that came with the PS3 was a HDMI to Audio/Video cable, and didn't even see the SCART port in the back of the PS3. So I thought I didn't want to lose 1080p ..etc etc. Anyways. MX 3950D still good =)

For the TV:
There are a few possibilities.
1)You can connect a red and white AV cable (or the red and white portion of a red, white and yellow cable) from the TV Audio OUTPUT to the "Audio In/TV" portion of the HTS (NOTE: Many TV's do not have an Audio OUTPUT).
2)You can connect a red and white AV cable (or the red and white portion of a red, white and yellow cable) from the Audio OUTPUT of your cable or satellite box to the "Audio In/TV" portion of the HTS.
Note: Using a red and white cable may not give you sound on all 5 speakers.
3)Get a digital audio or SPDIF cable and run it from the TV, Cable or Satellite Box's Digital Audio OUT to the "DIGITAL IN" of the HTS. This will give you the best sound quality. When using this (or any of the other) type of connection, press SURR until you get sound from all 5 speakers.

For the Xbox, try hooking a red/white audio cable from the Xbox into the Audio IN/AUX on the back of the HTS, and then switching the source on the home theater to AUX.
