Which cables do I use to connect Philips HTL5140 soundbar to my Panasonic LCD TV (37LZD800). Later I want the sound bar for my new Samsung 4K TV. Thanks.

Here are steps to connect a Samsung soundbar to a Sanyo FVM3982 TV using an optical cable:

1. Locate the Optical Out port on the back of the Sanyo TV. This port will be labeled "Optical Out" and is usually covered by a small protective cap.
2. Remove the protective cap from the Optical Out port and plug in one end of the optical cable.
3. Connect the other end of the optical cable to the Optical In port on the Samsung soundbar. This port may be labeled "Optical In" or "Toslink".
4. Turn on both the TV and the soundbar.
5. On the Sanyo TV, use the remote to navigate to the audio settings. Look for an option to set the audio output to "External Speakers", "External Audio", or "Optical Out". Select this option.
6. Adjust the volume on the Samsung soundbar using its remote control.

Once these steps are completed, the sound from the TV should be played through the Samsung soundbar. If you encounter any issues or don't hear any sound, check to make sure that the soundbar is set to the correct input and that the volume is turned up. Additionally, make sure that both the TV and soundbar are properly connected and powered on.

If your sound bar is plugged in it is bypassing your TV's speakers the same as if you plugged headphones in your phone you cant hear the main speaker

Not sure why you would want to set things up this way, but you have to set the audio output in the receiver hdmi setup menu to tv. This will allow the receiver to pass audio info out of the hdmi jack. By default, this is turned off.

There should not be any problem in connecting this TV to Sound Bar. Check all the connections. Contact any service technician to seek help in this matter. Refer the user manuals to both the sets.

How about fiber optic cable or composite cables. I usually recommemd that people do either of these.

There should be a output on the TV. Hook the sound bar up, set the TV up to use external sound and use the sound bar remote untill you sync it to a different remote. Give it a try!!!!

Use a high speed HDMI cable form the TV to the sound bar. HDMI cables carry sound as well as picture signals. Refer to your TV's user manual http://www.hdtvsolutions.com/pdf/52527-62528.pdf
and the Samsung product support page http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/HW-F450/ZA for assistance
