Can't connect HW-F450 Sound bar to Toshiba 55VL900A

Hi,
I am trying to connect a Samy HW-F450 Sound bar to my Toshiba 55VL900A with a HDMI cable.
Not sure what i am doing wrong have tried the ARC slot and the ordinary HMDI out slots.
It seems to be almost connected but no sound at all.
I'm slowly going insane pls help.

MichaelJ71, I have downloaded the manual for both your Toshiba 55VL900A and your Samsun sound bar, and on page 13 of your Samy manual, it mentions connecting to the TV with either audio or optical input (which I personally have tried with our 32RL900A, and found quite satisfactory),
so I would suggest that would be the easiest way to connect your two devices.
A visit to your nearest Jaycar will enable the purchase of the required Optical cable to do the job, at a reasonable price.
Let us know how it all turns out, this makes people feel that their advice is appreciated

Bluetooth connectivity problems: LG Sound Bar NB3530A

Any suggestions on how to improve the quality of sound. My Mac seems to connect with my sound bar, but the playback is choppy and interrupted. Sort of sounds like a scratched CD when I play music. I have updated to the latest OS yet still the problem persists. Any suggestion?

JJust got this sound bar ans it's great! Minus this same bluetooth issue I also have..

How can i connect my Imac sound to my stereo receiver speakers and not disconnect the computer's speakers?

I find lots of confusing answers re how to connect my Imac to my stereo receiver, and I aldso want to avoid cutting of the Imac's speakers entirely when the sound goes to the stereo receiver and thsu to the larger speakers. Is there a way to switch between them, or can i keep them running simultaneously, which is what I'd really prefer? What do i need to go to Radio Shack to purchase?
FYI, I have a 27" desktop Imac purchased 3 months ago, running Mountain Lion, and the receiver I want to connect to is an Onkyo TX-8050, wityh lotys of available ports in back - digital, universal, ethernet, and many rca ports "in."

I think this should work, although the description doesn't appear to cover this use. Call Griffin to confirm.

Can I connect my TV sound to Airport Express?

Greetings,
I have a pair of Audio Engine A5 speakers connected to AirPort Express. I use AirFoil from my iMac to stream music from Pandora through Airport Express to the A5s. Now I would like to hook my Samsung TV to the same A5 speakers. Is this possible? How would I do it? What kind of wiring would this require? My knowledge is basic, so any and all details will be appreciated.
Thanks,
BCB

From what I can tell, the A5 speakers have 2 audio input jacks.. One on the top and one on the rear of the speakers.
You simply connect a 1/8" stereo audio cable between one of the audio input jacks on the speakers and the AirPort Express audio output jack, and connect a similar cable from the audio output jack from your Samsung TV to the other speaker input jack. If your Samsung TV has RCA phono audio outputs (red and white jacks) you'll need to use a RCA to 1/8" Y adapter.
I didn't see where the A5 speakers have an A or B audio input switch which means both jacks may be connected to the speakers at the same time. So you should be careful to only have either the TV or Airplay going at one time.

Why does my Mac automatically connect to my sound bar?

I have a MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 model and I have paired it to an Orbitsound M9 Soundbar. My problem is that everytime I am on the computer and it is in range it automatically connects, I dont want that to happen, I just want to connect to it when I feel like it, not all the time.
Any help with this wee issue would be great!!

Can I connect 2 External monitors simultaneously on Toshiba notebook?

Hi,
I am interested to find out which of toshiba laptop's currently on offer do support 2 external monitors simultaneously (one as normal and second as extended dekstop in windows). I am looking for to replace my old configuration of laptop and docking station connected to two external monitors with resolution of 1280x1024.
I was looking on toshiba websita at
Portg R700-15Q
http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Portege-R700-15Q/1089286/toshibaShop/false/
together with Port Replicator PA3680U-1PRP then some other laptop that do have port replicator but no where on the website I was able to find if any concrete model does support the dual use of the two port (VGA and HDMI or VGA and DVI)
I was looking on the Port Replicator PA3680U-1PRP user guide at http://www.csd.toshiba.com
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=2756712& rpn=PA3680U&modelFilter=PA3680U-1PRP&selCategory=2756711&selFamily=116319
and in the troubelshouting part I did found this:
Cannot display information to a
DVD-D and RGB Monitor at the
same time
Check that the cables connecting the monitors are firmly attached on
both ends. Some computer models do not support output to DVI and RGB
monitors simultaneously. Check the documentation for your computer
model.
But even if you find on http://www.csd.toshiba.com the pdf's of detailed spec's and user guides, there is no information about if they do support simultant output to monitors or not and what is the maximum resolution supported for this.
Thanks for any help
Ian

Thanks for the reply,
Toshiba Dynadock did not have really good reviews and it is working via USB which would be quite slow for all the traffic needed to show the graphic information for two monitors at 1280x1024.

is talking about about 'm9 ... to display to two external monitors which works well' so I thought must be possible. I know HP, Dell and Lenovo laptop's are able to do it so why not toshiba?

Connecting a sound bar to Toshibia 50L1450U: Can it be done?

I am trying to connect my iLive sound bar to this TV but there doesn't appear to be an audio out option. Is it possible to connect the sound bar via usb or some other way?

Unfortunately the Time Capsule is missing the circuitry that the AirPort Express has that processes the AirTunes stream to get it out to your amp. So, whether the Time Capsule or your iMac is hosting the iTunes Library, in order for your amp to be able to use it, you will need the Express.

Samsung sound bar connection

Is it possible to connect a samsung sound bar and a headphones set to the back of the Samsung TV? I can only find one audio input. I called the Samsung tech service people and was told quickly that it cannot be done. So how can I have both the sound bar and the headphones connected?

No you cannot plug the Samsung soundbar and headphones into most TV's together. You don't state whether you have normal headphopnes or wireless or a model, nor do you mention the model of your TV.
The soundbar assuming the model you have uses an optical output, and we will assume you are using a headphone mini cable. When the headphones are plugged in should take priority over the soundbar.
Give me the models of the tv, soundbar, what kind of headphones, and the devices going to the tv so we can help.
Now some TV's from Samsung like the LED's have a headphone output. The matching soundbar does have a headphone input. You could plug the soundbar to the tv via that and have the headphones in at the same time. See tv out below and the splitter

The Sound Bar should be ready to play because I can use it with my iPhone and on Win-notebooks.B
There are no system-updates availabe and I´m using OSX 10.8.4. Can someone help?
Best wishes from Germany

It seems that my bluetooth driver crashed or anything. Tried it with an other MacBook and worked fine. Called the Apple- and LG-Support.
The Apple-Supporter told my to reinstall my OS X. Crashed. I´ll start a complete new installation today.

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

Problem connecting Apple TV2 to projector when passing through Sony Sound Bar

I'm having problems getting my Apple TV2 to work now that I'm passing it through my new Sony HT-CT150 Sound Bar to my Epson Megaplex Projector MG-850 (720p) Projector. I keep getting a "Not Supported" error on my projector - as opposed to a "No Signal" error which is what happens if I was to unplug the Apple TV.
My HDMI cables are all new and latest specs. I can connect the Apple TV directly to projector with either cable and it works fine. I have a 6 ft HDMI connecting the Apple TV to one of the Sony Sound Bar's 3 HDMI inputs and then a 40 ft. HDMI running from the sound bar's HDMI out to the projector's single HDMI input. Oddly, if I reverse the cables, it seems to work. Same two cables - just switching which one is connected to the Apple TV and which is connected to the projector. (I need the length to get to where my projector is positioned. Though I might be able to get by with a 30 ft. cable if length might be the issue.)
Anyway I think it must have something to do with the HDMI handshake or the lenth of the cables but don't know enough about it and have no idea why switching which cable comes first would fix the problem.

Ok, I will ask the question in another way... My apple tv has one hdmi, and it goes to my hd projecter.. But projecter has no speakers, and as a result I've no sound at the moment. I am looking for a clear direction to go in, to solve lack the of any sound.. My only option seems to be, using the optical out from the apple tv.. I don't have any equipment with this conecter. And I've never used optical before.. If i buy an, optical to twin phono converter and then I can plug into a large powered speaker I've got in my living room. And I will have big sound easily..?? Do I have any other reasonable options for optical enabled speakers, or AirPlay speakers or something simple I'm not aware of that will give me sound easily.. I don't want a messy 5:1 system, my house is very tidy, and I want to keep it that way. . Only having this optical out is frustrating, and I need to get my head round the options I have. Anyone understand from experience how to use the optical apple tv out. Also, not using anything but apple tv, no dvds, or tv , just apple tv and my ipad.. Is very quiet in my home right now though.

MacBook Pro to Samsung sound bar Bluetooth not connecting

Hello all,
I recently purchased a Samsung sound bar with bluetooth connectivity. I can connect my iPhone 5s to it and stream music with no problem. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro, it simply connects and promptly disconnects. I have tried shut down, restart, and even unplugging the battery on the MacBook with no luck.
I am running OSX 10.9.3 with all available updates.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Jerry

Same here I'm using a Samsung HW-H550 Sound Bar - Connect's with iPhone/iPad on IOS 7.1.1 on my Mac Book Pro Retina OS X 10.9.3. Having no joy even went down the root of deleting the Bluetooth Pref file didn't work either.
Looking forward to any workable solution
