Are your RCA headphones wired, IR, FM wireless, or do you mean they have RCA/phono plugs?
Whatever the config, you'll need a DAC,or digital-to-analog converter for a start, as the fiber-optic transmits a digital-encoded pulsed signal only, which has to be decoded back to the audio sampled voltages to re-create the original wave-shape.
The DAC must have D/A optic input.

SOURCE: LCD HDTV digital audio output jack

The orange jack is a DIGITAL audio out and cannot be hooked to anything other than a digital input. You want to use the White/Red jacks at the bottom.

SOURCE: Computer to Denon via Monster Headphone cable to V.Aux (Front) RCA inputs

Are you using a stereo-mini to RCA cable that has a red and a white RCA plug? What I mean is, you should have the one cable coming out of the headphone jack on the computer, and two (left and right) cables going to the receiver. The only other thing I can suggest is making sure the cables are tight. Maybe try another input on the receiver. There really shouldn't be any feedback unless there is some underlying problem.

SOURCE: Digital optical from DVD player produces no audio

Hi, It sounds like your receiver is still looking for audio on the coaxial connection, rather than the optical.

1. Make sure the optical connection is between your DVD player and the LD/DVD Optical In on the back of your receiver.
2. If you have a monitor connected to the receiver to show the on-screen display, click Setup from the main menu, click Input Mode, then, next to LD/DVD choose Optical. It may be set to coaxial, analog or auto.

Alternatively, choose the input source on the front of your receiver (LD/DVD), then press Input Mode button (bottom right, near the input selector) till it displays Digital Optical.

If all else fails, reset the receiver by:
1. Turn off the receiver
2. Hold down DISPLAY and PANEL UP/DOWN buttons and press power.
3. All Clear should appear on the screen.

Use caution, however, as this will erase all the settings in your receiver.

How can I connect a Proscan PLDED4016A 40 LED TV, With a Phillips soundbar HTL1520B?

Can you access all of the ports on the ProScan PLDED4016A? There are some ports that face down (near the power cord) and others on the right hand side (as you face the back). The picture from the manual, https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1049754/Proscan-Plded4016a.html?page=8#manual , indicates a headphone jack and a coax audio output and analog RCA audio out. The headphone jack is at the bottom of the side input area below the component video and service port. The digital Coaxial and RCA Audio outputs are closest to the power cord.

The PC Audio port is an input when the TV is used as a monitor with a VGA connection to a computer. See https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1049754/Proscan-Plded4016a.html?page=12#manual for using the TV with headphones.

If the headphone jack doesn't work, you need some sort of converter or adapter. To use the TV's digital coaxial audio port with the optical digital audio port on the sound bar, you need something like this: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=2947 . Note: make sure to get the correct input and output option; these are not bidirectional. You will need to supply the RCA digital audio cable.

For the analog RCA audio output on the TV, you have multiple options. A simple RCA (M/M) to 3.5 mm (M) cable will work. So will various RCA audio/3.5 mm adapters, depending on where you want to put the adapter. (RCA (M/M) to 3.5 mm (F) is the simplest since you have the Aux cable.) These will connect to the Aux in on the soundbar.

You can also use an analog to digital audio converter, https://www.amazon.com/Musou-Digital-Optical-Toslink-Converter/dp/B01HGHNCMW . You'll need to supply the standard analog RCA audio cable for most of these. Then connect the converter output to the optical audio port on the HTL1520B.

I hope this helps.

(Years ago, the 3.5 mm to RCA cable was often in the accessories for connecting a portable CD player to a stereo system.)

Can I connect wired headphones to the SHAPR LC-32SB23U tv? And if so, where is the connection on the back of the tv?

The Sharp LC-32B23U does not have a headphone (3.5 mm) jack. See the specifications here: https://www.cnet.com/products/sharp-lc-32sb23u/ . It has an optical digital audio output. To connect your headphones, you could use a digital audio to RCA audio converter. See https://www.amazon.com/optical-rca-converter/s?k=optical+to+rca+converter for some converters. Then use RCA audio cable to connect to an RCA (2 F jacks) to 3.5 mm F adapter. (If your headphone has a detachable cable, you could use an audio adapter cable with 2 RCA M plugs on one end and the 3.5 mm M plug on the other.

I hope this helps.

Location of headphone jack on samsung samsung ln40b500p3fxza

This TV does not have a headphone jack. It only has a optical digital audio output, Toslink. To connect this to most headphones, you'll need a digital to analog audio converter. You'll need to provide the cables (optical digital audio, RCA (M/M) to 3.5 mm (F) adapter). For some headphones, you can use just RCA audio cables or RCA (M/M) to 3.5 mm (M) audio cable. Here is one converter: https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Analog-audio-converter/dp/B004C4WPXA .

The documentation for the LN40B500P3FXZA is available here: https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/LN40B500P3FXZA/ . See page 4 of the User Guide for the back panel connections. The current link to this guide is http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=UNI_CA&CttFileID=2430065&CDCttType=UM&ModelType=N&ModelName=LN40B500P3F&VPath=UM/201104/20110426143440007/BN68-01883Q-00L03-110426.pdf&OriginYN=N .

Have Technics SA-EX500 connected to Samsung Smart TV. For tv channels the sound is perfect but when I switch to Netflix or HBOGO the sound is static/cackling.

Suggest connecting via the headphones jack or if available the RCA audio output jacks. If you connect via the headphone jack you will need to adjust the TV volume to a lower setting to avoid distortion/./ The The problem is that the optical output connection is a digital connection and depending on the digital format the Digital to Analog converter may not be a configuration that the audio stream to the stereo required for the tv/vcr in.

How does the audio sound using the Samsung Smart TV internal speakers>

Also under menus/audio/settings you may need to change the Optical output to stereo.

Netflix also has settings that will change the audio stream.

Hope This helps?

Hdtv optical audio output works except in tv mode

Unplug one of the RCA plugs one at a time, see if sound changes to no buzz but one ear channel only. The buzz can occur when RCA is not connected correctly and the video feed is put onto the earth wire of both audio feeds.

Hi.How can I connect SHARP HT-SB400 sound bar system to TV SAMSUNG UE40C6000 LED? I have RCA cable supplied by sharp, it's that possible? My SAMSUNG operation system is : T-VAL6DEUC-1016.0

You should be able to connect these but you'll need some extra adapters/converters/cables. The Sharp HT-SB400 has analog audio inputs (http://www.sharp.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/gb/hs.xsl/-/html/product-details.htm?product=HTSB400&cat=10500 ). The Samsung UE40C6000 LED TV has a digital (optical) output and a headphone jack (http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/television/led-tv/UE40C6000RKXXU-spec ).

With a RCA (F/F) to 3.5 mm (M) adapter, you may be able to connect the headphone audio out to your sound bar directly. This is an example: http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=4730 . I'm not sure if this will automatically disable the TV speakers.

The other option is to get a digital audio to analog audio converter. One of these is http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Audio-Analog-Converter/dp/B0013LWK3A . You'll also need the optical digital cable in addition to the RCA audio cable that you have. With this you'll have to follow the manual for turning on the digital audio output on the TV (under the Sound menu) and turn off the TV speakers.

I hope this helps.
