Digital input type of cable to use for audio digital input

Based on the specs from CNET, the Seiki SE322FS does not have an optical digital audio port. There is a coaxial digital audio port which looks like a standard RCA jack. The main difference is that it will be a single output jack, instead of the groups of RCA input jacks (component and composite audio/video ports). See https://www.cnet.com/products/seiki-se322fs/specs/ . See https://www.lifewire.com/coaxial-vs-optical-digital-cable-3134605 for some of the pros and cons for each type of digital audio cable.

Since the TV will be your audio source, you'll need a coaxial to optical digital audio converter. This is one example: https://www.cablestogo.com/product/40018/coaxial-to-toslink-optical-digital-audio-converter-taa-compliant . Note: usually the cables are not included with the converter. Thus, you'll need to get a coaxial digital audio cable separately. A different converter is needed to go from an optical digital audio output to a coaxial digital audio input.

I hope this helps.

you would need a coaxel audio cable to have that type of digital audio otherwise normally RCA audio or pure HDMI audio input should do fine

Hi, the fisrt step is to connect a toslink cable from TV output to an amplifier with optical input, or if your amplifier has only analog audio inputs (RCA red and white connectors), you have to use an digital to analog converter device. After cables are connected, usually you must change which type of audio connection you will use in TV menu, in audio options.

If it is a single output and looks like an RCA type, then I would say that the cable you would need is a digital coaxial cable. The optical input/output will have a different shape and is not as big of an opening as a digital coaxial input/output.

You will need some type of cable, Look at the ports on your tv and soundbar.

If you see both have red and white ports then all you need is red and white audio cables.

If you see both have auxillary input ports then all you will need is a standard aux cable. (3.5mm is the standard)

If you see HDMI slots then you can use a HDMI cable.

If you see a digital audio input port then you can use a digital audio cable.

Luckily makers give us several options on how we want to configure our systems and the variability of the ports allow us to fully customize it. I hope this helped. All of the a fore mentioned cables can be found at your local electronics/department store.

hi
you didn't mentioned the model number of your surround sound system, for a better solution its important. any why try the following.

if you are connected the analog audio output of your tv to the system using RCA cable, then go to the setup of the surround sound system and change the input assignment setting from digital to analog.
If your connected the digital output of your tv to the digital input of your surround system using optical cable then, goto the setup of your surround system and change the input assignment to digital (optical) input.


if u need any further assistance fell free to contact through fixya

Hello

The HDMI[1] input on your TV receives digital audio

and uncompressed digital video and audio from an

HDMI device or uncompressed digital video from a

DVI[2] device.

This input is designed to accept HDCP[3] program

material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B-

compliant[4] consumer electronic devices (such as a settop

box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).

The HDMI input is designed for best performance

with 1080i high-definition video signals, but will also
accept and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

• one HDMI cable (type A connector)

For proper operation, it is recommended that you use

a short HDMI cable. You should not encounter

difficulty if you use an HDMI cable shorter than 16.4

ft (5m).

HDMI cable transfers both video and audio.

Separate analog audio cables are not required (see

illustration below). Some CDVs (video CDs) may

not output digital audio signals. In that case, you

may hear sound by connecting analog audio cables.

However, if you connect analog audio cables with

this connection, the HDMI terminal on the TV will

not receive the HDMI digital audio signal and you
will hear analog audio only.

To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset

properly, it is recommended that you follow

these procedures:

• When turning on your electronic components,

turn on the TV first, and then the HDMI or

DVI device.

• When turning off your electronic components,

turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and
then the TV.

To connect a DVI device, you will need:

• one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable

(HDMI type A connector)

For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-

DVI adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m).

The recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).
• one pair of standard analog audio cables
OK

COAXIAL DIGITAL JACKS;

This type of jack is used for the digital audio inputs and/or outputs on A/V components such as receivers, CD players, DVD players, and more. Coaxial digital jacks are also sometimes found on higher-end PC soundcards for digital audio input and output.
Coaxial digital inputs and outputs use standard RCA-type jacks (so coaxial digital cables are terminated with standard RCA connectors). But the cable itself is specially designed to handle the much wider frequency bandwidth of digital signals

The physical TV is at best a lo-fi 2-channel analog audio device. Think about it this way: Most high-end users use video monitors (no audio or speakers on board). So where does the TV-related audio come from....

It comes from the same place the TV would get it - cable, satellite, dvd, blu-ray, vcr...

So why run audio from any of those sources to the TV and back to the receiver (whose specialty is
multi-channel sound)?

I imagine your cable or satellite box has Digital and Analog Audio Outputs. The receiver needs a digital input for anything multi-channel. Select the highest-quality one that's compatible with your HTR and use it for the audio feed.

You have one coaxial and one optical digital input. I imagine your (unnamed) DVD player has one or both types and your cable box has one or both types. If you have one of each type you're golden. Run each to its compatible input on the HTR.

If they're both optical, you have to make a choice, but if they're both coaxial only you could get away with using an RCA Y-cable to bring them both in to the one input. Then for each to work you would have to make sure the other device is turned off.

The video capabilities of this unit are limited to Composite (single RCA cable). Run one from the DVD and one from the cable box Video Out to the conveniently labeled inputs that match them.

I have no idea what your TV/Monitor has for inputs. If possible run the absolute highest quality video [HDMI, Component (3 RCA cables) or Composite (single RCA cable)] to the TV's inputs along with an RCA pair from DVD and Cable Ananlog Audio Out to the corresponding Audio In's on the TV. This way you can watch and hear TV from its own speakers without needing the Yamaha fired up.

After posting my question on Fixya, I went to www.cnet.com and found reviews on 3 systems $100-200 which had coaxial digital audio inputs.
