We purchased a soundbar - Panasonic SC-HTB200 day before yesterday and are trying to connect it with LG TV
ports on soundbar : optical, HDMI ARC
ports on TV : HDMI (standard), Audio Jack 3.5mm and Audio video (not sure what it is called but the red, white and yellow ports)
We use a set-up box and Amazon fire stick both connected on the HDMI port of the TV. We mainly want to connect the soundbar to the TV for fire stick.
Things we tried:
HDMI cabled direct connect : doesnt work (identifies the soundbar as an additional device)
HDMI splitter : doesnt work (connected the fire stick on one side and other side the HDMI cables one going to the TV and other to the soundbar)
Audio connector (coaxial or toslink digital to analog) : doesnt work ( connected the optical cable from soundbar to the Audio connector and connected the coaxial cable from connector to the TV)
The only option we now think of is a connector which has HDMI and Audio 3.5mm cable. To connect the soundbar to the connector and then the audio jack into the TV.
