Question: What is S/PDIF?
Document: But again, at least you have the option here of S/PDIF.Overall: if you're looking for something that's better than your built-in TV speakers but don't want the complications of a full 6+ speaker surround-sound system, then this is a cheap and reasonable alternative.
Please note that "coaxial cable" is also called "S/PDIF cable," and "optical audio cable" is also called "TOSLINK. "THIS PART IS IMPORTANT:  I recommend buying the refurbished VSB 200 from TigerDirect through Amazon.
So I ended up pushing the cable in the S/PDIF port with some force which resulted in breaking off  the "door" which I had to remove. I didn't know whether I broke something or if this was what I was supposed to do. So now I tried putting the cable in but now the port was too big and the cable could go in but it was a very loose fit.
Like the Digital Audio Out port on the back of the TV, the S/PDIF port on the Sound bar had a plastic cover "door" that for some reason would not allow the cable to pass through. Never having the experience working with Toslink cables, I had no idea if I was to remove the little plastic door on the S/PDIF port or just try to force the cable in.
I couldn't hear anything until I tried this, but again it's no fault of the soundbar and it does work.2) A pair of RCA audio input jacks. Again, these aren't as pristine as S/PDIF, but they're universal. Hook up whatever you like here: a CD player, an iPod dock, a VCR, a turntable, whatever.3) An additional pair of RCA audio input jacks.
This used item from Warehouse Deals is not the same as the website description for a new item. Specifically, the S/PDIF (Optical Audio) input connector has been disabled or never enabled, and the connector port is covered with tape. All references to the S/PDIF connector on the instruction sheet have been blacked out.Highly disappointed, since the Optical Audio input feature was the only reason I purchased this item.
"Problems with optical input from some TVs. A word of caution: I purchased this Vizio sound bar from Amazon a week ago to be coupled with a LG flat screen, model42LD520, which has only an optical sound output. This LG TV outputs an optical signal that is not compatible with the sound bar S/PDIF input. This Vizio sound bar requires a PCM optical signal which is not available on this TV.
It's just one piece so it's simple to configure. The sound quality is pretty good. And using the "Virtual surround-sound" mode along with a subwoofer is a fairly decent substitute for enjoying movies in 5.1, at least to my ears. I do have a few complaints, which I'll get to at the end.First, here's what you'll find on the back of the unit:1) A digital audio input jack, otherwise known as S/PDIF.
A word of caution: I purchased this Vizio sound bar from Amazon a week ago to be coupled with a LG flat screen, model42LD520, which has only an optical sound output. This LG TV outputs an optical signal that is not compatible with the sound bar S/PDIF input. This Vizio sound bar requires a PCM optical signal which is not available on this TV. Thus one can not run an optical sound signal via the TV from external components to the bar.
I have this baby plugged in using the S/PDIF port straight out of my Vizio TV and into my RCA PRO-SW60P power sub-woofer using the SUB out and a Subwoofer Audio Cable and it works great.Wall Mounting:You simply flip the stand on the soundbar with one Phillips head screw, there's No other hardware included though so you will need to buy the proper grade screws at your local store that can support the weight securely and you may need help lifting it of course.
Answer: This is a format for audio. If you google the term you will get a good explanation of it.
