Mary Sue Pressley, Yes, an audio bar can be connected to this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Nope. This is an optical (digital) audio cable. Your sound bar is an analog input.

Yes. The soundbar has analog RCA input as well as the optical digital input. Further, there is another input (3.5mm stereo) to connect a portable portable device's headphone output to the soundbar.

No, it needs to be connected to a computer's usb port. I don't believe a TV would work for this sound bar.

I don't know about a sound bar. I use a Denon 7.1 surrround sound and it works really great.

No, the soundbar does not have a tuner of any kind. You need to connect a device capable of playing whatever it is you want to listen to.

Yes. The sound bar is a must in order to get the best sound quality from your TV. It works great and easy to hook up.

it does not. It has two inputs, a optical digital cable and a headphone sized 1/8th jack. I bought a very inexpensive bluetooth receiver from amazon and plugged it into 1/8' jack on the soundbar for music from iPhone and iPads...all the rest of the devices (blu-ray player, Apple TV, Direct TV DVR) that go into TV via HDMI are pushed out of TV and into soundbar via the optical cable (included) I think this is a much better idea than making the soundbar a HDMI switch of sorts. I see the optical out on all the flat screens around these days by the way...this soundbar sounds great, it replaced a large 5.1 system that didnt work in new family room.

If I understand the question you will have multiple devices hooked up to your TV via HDMI and you will use an optical audio cable to connect to the sound bar to play sound from the TV. Yes, the sound will play fine. I have the same set-up for mine. You just need to make sure the "function" is switched to "optical" on the sound bar to have it work.

yes. you use the t.v. remote to tell it how you want to get sound. Through the t.v. or an external source (pioneer soundbar). Love my pioneer.

The sound bar is meant to be connected to your tv. You then use your tv as your media control system, switching between the different sources: dvd, Apple TV, roku, wd tv live, etc. The one exception is using blue tooth to play music on your sound plate.

No it cant! I don't see how you can connect to The sound bar that has one infrared input, one HDMI AV OUT , one optical digital audio in terminal and one HDMI AV IN terminal .

Yes it does and it can also be used with a soundbar to further improve the sound.

Yes. Simply use the audio out plugs on the back of the TV to the matching inputs on the back of the Soundbar. Once connected, you'll want to turn the volume control down on the TV to let the Soundbar system take over. Cheers!

it says it does, but we found it to not work. We had a standard sound bar and used the provided A/V adapter that came with the TV to make the connection. It never recognized the bar. We recently bought LG's 3D sound bar.. it's a digital feed and worked fine..of course.. I think that was LGs plan all along. --to get all my money.

Yes we have a sound bar and have no problems. The screen beam only projects the computer's video. Sound all comes from the TV and attached devices.

No, but you can order a speaker bar separately that attaches. There is audio out on the bottom for the built-in hdmi and display ports.
