I have a 2013 Magnavox television (Model 46ME313V/F7) and would like to connect a Sonos Playbar to it. We moved into a new home w/ 2 of these Playbars months ago and have only used them for streaming music so far. On the side of the tv are ports for HDMI, USB, and headphones, and this is a photo of the back of the tv. I assume that I would need to somehow connect the Playbar to the Digital Audio Output. Can someone tell me how to work this out? What cables/ adapters I will need? Thanks!
You’d need some sort of digital coax to optical adapter. I’d start by searching on Amazon to see what’s there, and then look at a local electronics store, once I was more familiar as to what might be available...or just buy from Amazon. You do need to be sure that the TV will pass a Dolby Digital signal out through that digital coax port. Should be somewhere in the manual for the TV.
Thanks. I did look in the tv manual and it will pass the Dolby Digital signal our of that port. So… found this and it seems as though it should work. I will need a cable from the adapter to the audio jack in the tv, bur… could it have been this easy?
What do you think? After delaying this process for months because I really had no idea what to do, will this work?
I’d think so.
