How do you hook up a vizio sound bar to a hannspree 42" flat screen tv

Hello, Kim -

I found the following evaluation of the sound quality for the Vizio D television from the Rtings.com web site:

The sound quality is sub-par, and the TV doesn't get very loud. You will definitely benefit from having a separate sound system. Even a cheap sound bar would be an improvement.

So, you probably didn't make any errors in setting the TV up and may need to purchase a sound bar or speakers. We have an older model Vizio TV and found the sound quality is improved with added speakers. Our speakers can work as a sound bar or 2 speaker units on each side of the TV.

The issue is not how to plug the cables in, it's all color coded and easy. ... I have a Sanyo sound bar but it won't connect to my LGtv nor my ps4!

If the TV and sound bar have an optical connector, then get the optical cable to connect the two. If not then use the audio out jacks on the TV and don't forget to change the audio set up to switch the sound to the sound bar.

I had the same problem, no sound from tv to the sound bar. I hooked up the output for sound from the sound source, your cable tv box or satellite receiver and ran it to the sound bar, and then received sound.

The aftermarket audio/video cannot allow you hook your Tv and Dolbys stereos becauses of incompatibility issues.

go to the tv menu and disable the text function

If its still under guaranty take it back.
Sorry couldnt be of more help.

it sounds like you need to purchase a new video board from vizio which is expensive. upwards of 600 dollars. walmart has vizio 42 in and 47 in 1080p models around 500 dollars on sale this weekend. hope this helps let me know!

I have questions about sound bars myself so just today I call LG about My 42LD450. The first thing the agent said was to not get the Vizio, he said that the 42 just will not work with the Vizio.....just a lil tidbit of info ......
