Connecting Optical cable to new Toshiba 46TL868

I have a new Toshiba and I am having trouble connecting the Optical sound cable from my Orbitsound T9 soundbar to the TV.  The connection on the back of the TV had a plastic cover which when removed showed a hole for the cable to fit in but the connection seemed to be slightly different to the cable I have with the soundbar.  There is a small metal spade sticking out of the centre of the socket.  Does this have to be removed or does it in some way hold the cable in.  The cable I am using is a standard optical sound cable but cannot seem to make it fit into the Toshiba.  Has anyone else had this problem?

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region. If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

  • Connecting USB cable to new iPad

    Is there a way of connecting a USB cable to my new iPad? I have a device that I want to connect to it but it is only supplied with a USB cable.

    I don't find this question too clear, but I'll try to answer anyway.
    " ... my new iPad?"  I wonder if that means the latest model iPad, commonly called the iPad 4.  If so, it has a lightning port on the bottom.
    " ... but it is only supplied with a USB cable."  What does "it" refer to ... is it the device you're trying to connect to, or is it the iPad?
    Anyway, your iPad comes with a cable that goes from its bottom port (presumably the lightning port, but maybe a 30 pin port if you're really talking about an older model) to USB.
    So the bottom line is you have a cable with your iPad that connects to USB.  The cable came with your iPad.

  • Optical cable connection

    i have a samsung led, samsung home theater system and an HD cable box.....
    to get surround sound from tv is it better to connect optical cable from  tv to receiver or from cable box to receiver?  or is there a way to get surround sound using hdmi.  i do have the cable box connected to tv via hdmi and also the home theater system.

    Going optical out of the TV gives you the option of using either surround or TV speakers. Sometimes at night you don't need/want full range sound.
    HDMI will give a better quality of sound in some instances, but increases the cost and complexity of the setup.

  • Connecting apple tv to a receiver via optical cable

    I connected my apple TV via a digital optical cable to the yamaha receiver RX-V477,but I have not figure out how to hear the music that is coming from the apple tv. Can you help me with the set-up in the yamaha receiver. Thanks

    Hey mgrossi,
    The Apple TV's optical digital-audio port, also known as as TOSLINK, carries both audio and video signal when used with the proper cable. See this article for reference -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • Connecting Z-5500 to MacBook with Optical Cable?

    How's it going, first post here just need one question answered. I just got Logitech's Z-5500 for Christmas, and everything is set-up working great with just using the headphone jack. All speakers are working when in Stereo (x2) mode, but I would like to connect the system to my Macbook using the an optical cable since you get a cleaner, better quality of sound.
    I don't know anything about optical cables or how to connect it to my Macbook. I know the optical side of the cord goes in the back of the control panel for the Z-5500's but where does the other side go into the Macbook? Do I just need one cable? Any detailed help with links will help. Thanks a lot.

    Picked this up.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    HDMI is required to connect the Apple TV to a TV or through a receiver. The optical connection is for audio only.

  • My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

    My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.  This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

    Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
    If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

  • No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?

    I have just connected my AppleTV 2 with my Pioneer ELITE 910 HD Plasma TV system.  I have a hard wire ether net connected.  I have a great picture coming out of the HDMI connection from AppleTV plugged into my ELITE 910 HDMI Media Receiver.  But I am not hearing audio.  I have gone through the 'settings' menu on the AppleTV screen and have every setting correct (I believe)   It might appear that I may have to purchase an Optical Digital Audio Cable that would input into my Pioneer ELITE VSX-54TX receiver (that does have an Optical Digital Input that has not been used.)
    Am I on the right track?  I was hoping the video AND audio would travel through the HDMI connection.   I don't want to spend money on the cable if I don't need it.

    Re: No audio with HDMI cable connect - need optical cable?
    Yes, audio and video should go via HDMI.
    Do other peripherals work ok with the pioneer over HDMI.
    My LG BlueRay player works fine.  My TIVO works fine -- good audio and video
    AppleTV is a bit odd with audio at times.
    Does the pioneer media box handle doilby digital and linear PCM?
    I don't know what "linear PCM" is.  All the specs on this 2004 system are here:
    http://plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasmatv/pioneer-pro910hd.html
    If you have Dolby Digital set to Auto I'd expect you to get some audio - if set to On and media box can't decode DD then you may get no sound.
    Try cycling those settings as well as the one for audoo bit depth.
    Have done all this.  Still no audio

  • Multi-wire optical cable for 150...200 meter connection

    Please suggest multi-wire cable to connect switches located ~150...200 meters away from each other.
    It is needed to have at least 8...10 wires inside such type of optical cable.

    Cisco doesn't sell optical cabling. Typically people have optical cable installed by a cabling vendor from rack to rack and terminated in patch panels.
    The recommended specification these days for most intra-building applications is OM 3 or ideally OM4 50 micron multimode cable. You tell the vendor how many pairs you require and they take care of it for you.
    You only then need to procure the 1-2m fiber optic jumpers between the patch panel and the SFPs in your equipment. Again these would be OM3 or 4 50 micron multimode and generally you need LC terminations on both ends. They are commodity items and available from any number of online retailers.

  • Cannot get new Apple TV to send audio to my 2 year old Dennon Receiver, tried HDMI and digial optical cable.  Any suggestions?

    Just purchased Apple TV.  HDMI works fine direct to Sony TV, but want audio through my Dennon Receiver and speakers.  Tried the digital optical cable, no sound.  Connect Apple Tv HDMI directly to Receiver, no sound or picuture.  Ops manual indicates this is suppose to work.  Contact Apple support and they offered no solutions?  My son has similar system and it works fine via HDMI.  What am I missing?

    I am far from an expert but recently connected my tv, directv receiver and Apple TV to a Pioneer Surround Sound Receiver and was pleased that it worked.  Here are some things I read as I was setting all this up:
    1.  TV must have an HDMI ARC input for it to support audio.  You would connect the HDMI output from the receiver to this HDMI ARC input on your tv.  My tv manual , (Sony Bravia tv) did not mention an HDMI ARC input nor was it marked that way on the tv's HDMI input on the back but I used HDMI 1 and it works.  If you don't have HDMU ARC, you probably already know you have to use a digital optical connection.
    2.  Regardless of whether you use HDMI or digital optical connections, there are still some settings you have to make on the tv and receiver for audio.  Consult your tv and receiver manuals for these settings.

  • New Toshiba wireless turns Internet connection off (thru Linksys WRT110)

    I "commissioned" a new Toshiba A660 (customized) yesterday. We have a DSL line with Motorola modem and Cisco Linksys WRT110 router with one Cat5-connect.  For a brief period the Toshiba could access the Internet thru the wireless (I registered the computer and the Norton AntiVirus.) Subsequently I "activated" or allowed the Toshiba to self-install Bluetooth (built in, but, it appears, not listed in the device manager).
    Before the afternoon was over I found that the Toshiba, with WiFi antenna "on" effectively killed my Internet connection.  My Dell, which was hardwired thru the Cisco could not get to the Internet; my Mac, which works wirelessly, could not access the Internet.  When I turn the Toshiba's wireless antenna OFF, Internet access to the other two computers is restored within 45-60 seconds. This situation persisted after a "Restore to Factory" procedure this morning, where the Toshiba killed our Internet access during or shortly after the "configuring the desktop" portion of the hour-long restoration.
    Another call to, and call-back from, Toshiba tech support resulted in their suggestions that 1) I should see if my computer crashes someone else's Internet connection and 2) that it must be the Cisco.
    The Toshiba behaves itself when connected to the Cisco via Cat5 (as long as the wireless antenna is not turned on).
    So, Cisco, Do I need a router upgrade to keep the Toshiba from killing my Internet connection?

    If your new computer is running windows 7, disable IPv6 under LAN properties for both the wired and wireless adapters.  Reboot computer and connect again.

  • Is Optical cable necessary if you have HDMI?

    Just got the new Apple TV. If the HDMI is supplying both Audio and Video, is it really necessary to also hook up the Optical? Thanks in advance.

    it entirely depends on your individual setup.
    if you are connecting the appletv to an amp via HDMI then no, you don't need to use optical.
    if you are connecting appletv direct to your TV via HDMI and you want DD5.1 audio, you would then connect the optical cable to your DD5.1 speakers/amp.
