How is the sound bar connected to your system? Sound bars usually only supply sound from the item it is wired to. For example if it is directly connected to your cable box then it will only supply sound for cable channels. Try connecting it directly to the Audio Out connectors on the back of the TV. This method should produce audio for anything you play on the TV like Cable, DVDs and any built in Apps like Netflix.
The TV itself may have settings you need to change and this could also be the case for the Sound Bar.
could be a MODE SETTING on sound bar between digital sound input and analogue sound input . Plug into Audio out on tv (RCA out or headphones out) and plug into aux1 port on the back of the sound bar
Using the Input & Vol+ buttons on the front of the Sound bar select the input you connected your
tV to (Digital or Aux1)
The only audio output I see is the headphone jack from which to run the sound bar input. Is the sound bar surround/expanded sound features? Check the audio setup menu on Tv, the sound bar input selection, and try a cord from the headphone jack to the sound bar, if you haven't already. There should always be 2 channel stereo at the head jack unless it's turned off in tv menus. I see the owner's manual is very poor.
If you are currently using your sound system shown for your television sound then you need to use that with you sound bar plugged into it. You can hook it directly to your TV if you have an audio out but your tv has to produce enough output to run the sound bar. If your tv does have an audio out then there is a good chance you need to make those jacks active in the sound set up menu for external speakers. Some sound bars are powered and will require being plugged in as well.
Most televisions have a setting that controls whether the TV uses its internal speakers or sends the sound to the audio out jacks for an external amplifier or speakers.
Try going through the settings menu and follow through the audio/speaker selections and confirm that the TV is set to use external speakers.
Best Regards,
the details you provided were very vague, however from my experience when a device is connected to another device via and audio capable hdmi cable, that device renders it audio output to the device its connected to and normally turn off all other audio outputs beside optical- I would assume there is an option in the blue ray player to turn off hdmi audio, which will in turn activate other audio outputs- you may also look for audio out port on your tv, it is ideal to connect the sound bar directly to the tv set audio out ports. To sum this up, if you plan to use your player via hdmi cable you need to turn off hdmi audio output on the blue ray player and the plug an audio cable from your blue-ray player to your sound bar you may also as i said connect your sound bar directly to your tv, the issue is most tv sets now a days do not have an audio out port, if you do then everything you play thru your tv will have audio via sound bar there are several way to go here but unless your sound bar has hdmi av switching capabilities (im sure not) this is one of the most simple--Good Luck.
