connecting DVD opitical out to sound bar RCA coax in

[Mirkyman]

My new Samsung TV does not have an optical audio in, so I cannot connect my Samsung Blu-ray DVD player, which has an optical audio out, to the TV. I would like to connect the DVD deck directly to my Yamaha sound bar to play video sound tracks, but the BD/DVD terminal on the sound bar is digital coax. How do I connect optical out to digital coax in?+

If you mean that your new TV does not have audio outputs then you need one of these:

to connect the BD player to the soundbar directly. If you have other external sources that you want to hear through the sound bar then one of these will work for all of them:
