Trying to get sound from a coaxial cable plugging into a LG flat screen. The Tv has no Audio out puts... Only has a optical digital cable out in the back, but my stereo is older and is a JVC RX-400.. Is there a converter or something that will allow me to turn the optical digital cable into a red and white cables, that's what i need for the back of my stereo... Whatcha think??????

Your TV's Component 1 and 2 (and the Composite 1 and 2) RCA ports are video and audio inputs. They do not connect to the sound bar audio input. Based on the image here, https://www.manualslib.com/manual/509607/Element-Eldft404.html?page=8#manual , your TV has a coaxial digital Audio Out.

You need a converter to connect the TV to the sound bar. A coaxial to optical digital audio converter is here: https://www.amazon.com/C2G-40018-Coaxial-Converter-Compliant/dp/B0002J2MV4 . There are also many digital audio to analog converters available, https://www.amazon.com/DA-Converters/b?ie=UTF8&node=3224445011 . Some of these support both coaxial and optical digital audio to analog. Note: many of these do not come with the audio cables. You have to purchase them separately.

I hope this helps.

Has the sound bar got scart sockets ? If so try connection by scart to scart see if that works

Which model TV and which model sound bar do you have? Some Sansui TVs have a coaxial digital audio port and a 3.5 mm headphone port; this is true for the SLED2480. Some of the smallest Sansui TVs may only have a headphone out option or no audio output. These jacks will be on the back or the side depending on the model. For some Sansui models, these will be easiest to see when you put the TV on its face (on a clean soft surface) and look next to the base of the TV.

The Philips CSS2123B/F7 has a digital coaxial port, a digital optical port and RCA analog inputs on the back of the unit. It also has a 3.5 mm input on the right side for connection with auxiliary devices (like a headphone out). Other models may have different ports.

Thus the cables you need will depend on the specifics of your devices; similarly the locations of the ports will depend on the models. If your TV only has a headphone out and the soundbar has analog audio inputs, you will probably want a 3.5 mm to RCA audio adapter. There are several options depending on whether you want to use an 3.5 mm audio cable or an RCA audio between the TV and the soundbar. (Pick a cable and then get the adapter to plug into either the TV (M 3.5 mm to RCA FF) or the soundbar (2 RCA MM to 3.5 mm F).) There are 3.5 mm M to RCA MM cables as well.

If your TV has an digital audio outputs, get the correct cable (optical or coaxial) and connect that to the port on the sound bar and TV.

Please add a comment with the model of your TV and soundbar for specific information. I hope this helps.

Unless you hook HDMI to HDMI, you won't carry sound across the HDMI cable. If you're using a VGA to HDMI converter, you'll get the picture but no sound.

I have a feeling the headset jack on the TV is an output rather than an input. Most TVs accept HDMI, RCA, or a digital audio input (either coaxial or optical). Unless you have a S/PDIF optical output from your laptop (and you obviously don't have an HDMI output), then your only other choice is likely to get a cable that splits a 1/8" headset type connector into two RCA plugs that you'll plug into an AUDIO IN input on your TV.

See if your satellite receiver has a digital out socket in the back ( optic / coaxial ). If so get yourself an optic/coaxial cable and link the TV out to your LG Home Theaters optic/coaxial In.
Now if your Satellite receiver does not have a digital out for sound you will have to connect the TV's audio out to the LG Home Theater Systems Aux / SAT / CBL input using appropriate cables .Either 3.5mm phono to 2RCA or 2 RCA to 2 RCA cables.

You will need a Toslink to Rca connector. The toslink is also called optical connector.

Either use the white/red analogue audio outputs on the TV.
Or, you can get a Toslink optical to coaxial audio converter for $10 - $15 off ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/TOSlink-Optical-COAX-Coaxial-Digital-Audio-Converter-/220657947104?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33603d11e0#ht_1128wt_1139

What kind of the connector for the sound are you trying to use? The TV has RCA audio outputs (Red and White RCA) and also optical out put for digital sound output.

Having browsed the user manual I wonder if you plugged in the Sony BDV T57 Home Theatre System while the Polaroid FLM-2632 tv was powered down via the optical cable .
Then powered up the Sony BDV T57 Home Theatre System first and then powered up the Polaroid FLM-2632 tv
Maybe the Polaroid FLM-2632 TV has to detect that the Sony BDV T57 Home Theatre System is connected and powered up when the Polaroid FLM-2632 powers up. To activate its digital audio out ????
The note part about only being available only under HDTV (cable/air) mode. Might be the cause of your hassle also ?
