I recently purchased a sound bar and it has a Optical port(spdif) but my tv doesn't have one. I have some rca audio cable that came with the sound bar i guess i can use those right? But is there a converter of some sorts that would allow me to in a sense put an optical port on my tv?

What is your TV model number? Does your TV have an earphone jack, or Red/White RCA jack written "Audio Out" on it?

Essentially, anything plugged on the HDMI input will have its sound extracted and sent to the sound bar. I suggest getting an HDMI switch if you have multiple electronics to...
