For example, most Mac computers have optical digital outputs. The most common use of a DAC is to connect digital components such as computers to home audio systems or any other device with red-white analog inputs. Although most DACs have optical and coaxial inputs, some inexpensive models have only one or the other. Just connect the TV to its digital input and the sound bar to its analog outputs, and your sound bar will work perfectly.īe careful when shopping. The correct DAC will have a coaxial digital input and a pair of red-white analog outputs. All you need is a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to place between the TV and sound bar.
Is there any way to make it work?Ī You can still use your sound bar. My TV only has a coaxial (orange) digital output and the sound bar has the red and white audio inputs. A briefing in Washington offered some evidence that they've already taken major steps: where a 2002-vintage, standard-definition DVR would have used about 219 kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, a 2013 model that records in high-def and offers far more features would use just 170.Q I received a sound bar over the holidays and can't connect it to my TV.

Playing around with different antennas can help improve your reception - newer models are flat and light enough to stick on a wall - but if geography isn't cooperating, there may not be much you can do. You may find that you can get high-def local TV for free, but you might also find that the stations you remember coming in with just a bit of snow over analog break up over digital. Digital reception, as my own experience and reader reports have endlessly reminded me, doesn't match analog. The last bit of advice I'd give: If you can, first borrow somebody else's digital TV or DTV tuner to see whether you get acceptable reception at home.
