Connecting to an RCA DTA800 digital converter?

Your TV's Component 1 and 2 (and the Composite 1 and 2) RCA ports are video and audio inputs. They do not connect to the sound bar audio input. Based on the image here, https://www.manualslib.com/manual/509607/Element-Eldft404.html?page=8#manual , your TV has a coaxial digital Audio Out.

You need a converter to connect the TV to the sound bar. A coaxial to optical digital audio converter is here: https://www.amazon.com/C2G-40018-Coaxial-Converter-Compliant/dp/B0002J2MV4 . There are also many digital audio to analog converters available, https://www.amazon.com/DA-Converters/b?ie=UTF8&node=3224445011 . Some of these support both coaxial and optical digital audio to analog. Note: many of these do not come with the audio cables. You have to purchase them separately.

I hope this helps.

As far as I know, the E196FPf monitor does not have speakers or an audio out. Thus you'll need to connect the sound bar to the audio out of your computer or other source. On a laptop, this will be the headphone jack. On desktops, you use the lime-green 3.5 mm jack on the back of the system.

Depending on the sound bar, you might need a Aux (3.5 mm M to 3.5 mm M) cable, a 3.5 mm M to dual RCA (red/white) adapter cable or an analog to digital audio converter with the 3.5mm to RCA cable and appropriate digital audio cable.

Please add a comment with the model of the sound bar and the audio/video source, if you want more information on the best solution for your application.

I hope this helps.

not for sure but try 007, i have a different brand converter box hooked to a sanyo tv and it's code is 007, i will try and find out more if i do i will post it

You will need to get new cables.

My understanding is that the Digital signal is weaker than the analog, so need a stronger antenna to pick up the digital signal, and MAY still not get any reception at all. Have you considered satellite for you RV? Won't need the converter at all then.

sanyo 037,082.083.124.198,268.274 Press program, three number combo, ok, check volume control for function

Most converter boxes block analog channels.

I just tried their web site and it worked! They have the codes. www.1800customersupport.com/rca

or here is the direct link: http://www.1800customersupport.com/productdocuments/DTA800B1_Program_Codes.pdf

Hope this helps others who have had the same problem. Mine did not even come with these codes!!!

Hey boykinpierce,

The phrase "Smart Antenna" is often used to describe a multi-directional antenna or antenna array. These types of antennas are able to detect and automatically adjust to any changes in the TV signal strength you receive, and can generally be obtained through most major retailers. They primarily are used in areas where digital signals are weaker or somewhat inconsistent, and will attempt to optimize the signals they do receive before sending them to a TV or digital converter box.

Please keep in mind that while some DTV digital-to-analog converter boxes may have built-in Smart Antennas, this particular model (RCA DTA800) does not appear to have this feature.

If you're still not quite sure what to look for, please remember that you can always speak with a home theatre sales agent at your local Best Buy™ store for more information.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron

If the Cd is wired digitally, it will only play through the main zone, because the Denon cannot convert down to RCA to cater for the zone 2. If you plug RCAs from Cd to Denon, Main zone will STILL play from digital, and RCA connection will allow zone 2 to play Cd from RCA input....same with dvd, Satellite Blah blah... no stress, any nasty RCA will do if you want to try before you splash out on really costly cables...perhaps you can help me...want to run AVR 2105 with 2 speakers in zone 2, manual says cant do it - only ably to surround back or biamp...dont want either, dont have stereo yet to try it out...did you have any trouble with that?
