The Samsung does not have an optical audio IN to the TV. It only has an optical audio OUT. Meaning the audio would leave the TV to a receiver or sound bar instead of the TV speakers. Optical audio is for surround sound systems. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: optical output on tv through dvd home cinema out of sync

I just had the same problem. I returned it to currys and got an exchange because I thought there was somethink wrong with the surround sound itself. I have just tried , and left for ages as it goes out of sync gradually as you said ,the red/white cables (rca , i think it's called)and it works perfectely. You can find the wire for quite cheap just type it in google.

SOURCE: optical output on tv through dvd home cinema out of sync

Up front, i copied this from another site, so kudos to the OP there if this works for anyone...

Hi,
This same problem had been bugging me when I bought my LE37B650, everyone suggested adjusting the delay time on my AV amp but unfortunately mine does not have this function.

Anyway I finally fixed the problem using the following steps

Before you start make a note of your menu settings as you will have to reset them after this procedure

Turn off the TV then press Info -> Menu -> Mute in sequence then turn the TV back on again. This will get you into the secret Service Menu. Go straight to the AUDIO page of the menu. Don't be tempted to fiddle with things in service menu cos you can end up in a right old pickle!

In the AUDIO page you willl notice that there is a time delay set for the internal speakers of 100ms but for some reason this is not set for the external output so all you need do is dial in a 100ms delay there and that should sort the problem. Well it fixed it for me.

Note that as soon as you enter the service menu, all your other standard menu settings are lost and the screen will be set to dynamic for some reason so you have to go through and change everything back after you have done this.

Hope this Helps

This would suggest that you CAN fix the problem with an analog amp.

Also interested to see if a 2 year old thread is alive!

SOURCE: I have a Samsung hw c-451 sound bar.I have it

Dish doesn't appear to have a code for Samsung receivers but try the Sharp codes listed. Here's a link

Same thing for the LG remote
http://lgknowledgebase.com/kb/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=3252
I recommend connecting your sound bar to your dish receiver as well as to the television. Play around with optical and RCA to see which one you prefer the sound of. The television isn't always the best center channel so you might find that you like this set up better with the dish receiver connected directly to the sound bar. Then you can shut of the television speakers. Some people turn the television speakers back on and leave the sound bar off for early morning breakfast news viewing. Not being sure which dish receiver you're using you might have to indicate to it how you wish to output your audio, or all outputs might be outputting at the same time all of the time.

I have HarmanKardon receiver AVR 230. I have sound thru the speakers for all equipment except the New Samsung 4K QLED TV.

The QLED television will only recognize what is connected to HDMI ARC. A digital optical connection wont provide that functionality.

Which cables do I use to connect Philips HTL5140 soundbar to my Panasonic LCD TV (37LZD800). Later I want the sound bar for my new Samsung 4K TV. Thanks.

Use the optical cord. And connect it to the optical connection behind the TV. You will see a red glowing light at the connection on the TV. Go this route, this connection will work for all your TV viewing, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, DVR, DVD, Satellite, cable or air, and if you still have a VHS. Thanks for asking me, Matt of Martins TV Repair.

Hook up samsung sound bar to lg smart tv

easiest way would be to connect the optical audio output from the tv to the optical input on the soundbar. You may have to go into the tv's setup menu and enable the audio output jack

Actually, you can do this. Just get an optical to RCA converter.

Gurus, I just bought Samsung Home Theater System which i connected to my Hitachi TV with HDMI cable. I have a Optical Cable going from HT to my TV Optical port. I have another connection from my cable

On the remote control for the Samsung Home Theater System look at the bottom left to a button that says "MODE", those moods change the sound each speaker gives off. if that doesn't work, you might need new wiring because there are other wires that are more durable than the ones that come with it, much better too.

Make sure the TV is set to output audio to the digital optical port. Then make sure you have selected the proper output mode on the home theatre. Unplug the optical cable from the back of the home theatre and see if the red laser is on (don't shine it in your eyes! :))
