Better than me.....

[wegone]

WOW, my wife is doing way better than me as we adjust and restock the new trailer.

I did get the TV installed with a swivel mount that allows viewing from the galley as she cooks, to the couch across from it, to our bed.

I have just 3 RC cables coming into the cabinet from the sound bar, I guess...
And I can't get the TV audio to play through the sound bar, nor will the DVD player.
Anybody got any suggestions?
The RC cables are red, white and yellow.

I made some wood mounts that wedge under the TV for traveling.
It is hung very well but I don't like thinking about it bouncing too much.

First trip Monday.

Just some questions; what models TV, soundbar and dvd player? Is the soundbar the receiver as well or it a separate unit? With those hopefully we can determine inputs/outputs etc. of the components. I didn't see a dvd player in the pics....

If the TV and sound bar both have HDMI it makes so much easier. Just saying.

If your soundbar is factory installed, you'll need to connect television and soundbar, (probably) with a fiber optic cable. That's that half moon shaped connection port-jack on the back of the television and sound bar. You may also be able to connect with an HMDI cord. The Red, yellow, and white cable is most likely the input cables from your DVD player to the television.

How old is your television? It's not very common for newer televisions to have the RCA jacks. Everything now is either fiber optic, HMDI, or Blue Tooth.

WOW..... you guys sound smart

The TV is a Samsung I took out of one of our spare bedrooms, maybe 3-5 years old.
The DVD player we purchased last year, a LG cheaper model.
The sound bar came factory installed with the trailer, a Furrion.
I am guessing it is also a receiver since it pays music station as well.

The DVD player is attached to the TV via HDMI and plays as it should.

I have 2 HDMI ports on the TV, and another one similar, but not the same mate.

The sound bar-receiver has a HDMI port on the front of it, nothing is attached to it, nor do I have a HDMI cable running into the cabinet with the 3 RCA cables.

Maybe I can post pictures of it, would that help?

I have a schematic wiring diagram that came with all the other paperwork, but I cannot vouch for is that is the way its hooked up in the rear as its mounted inside a cabinet with no access, other than I guess I would have to remove the front face, or....????

I know I have power, I have radio, I have speaker location ( inside/outside ) so I am guessing they got it right, the issue is I don't know what I'm doing

edit: Also, it has a dome/receiver/directional antenna and 5G something that you can upgrade to. There is a small panel with 2 coaxial outlet connections and an on/off switch that lights up a light when turned on. None of that is attached to the TV, or any other stuff from that location.

Does the TV have an HDMI ARC? Soundbar? Sounds like you just need to get it wired/set up right. Samsung's usually have a generous amount of various ports including HDMI depending on model. Don't know if they had the ARC connections several years ago but I'm sure 3 years ago they probably did.

OK...it's working.

Put HDMI into port #2 on back of TV and into HDMI slot on sound bar in front, works great.

Too simple for a er..... simpleton

you should have a hdmi slot on the back of the sound bar also. may need to remove from wall to access…that will hide the cable

Unlike most things- computers for example which offer new technology but are functional with older stuff too- I found that my two Samsung sound bars, versions in the 5. something, were not even compatible with a Samsung TV that was a little older, a 4. something vintage. It was frustrating. Solved by a Yamaha 385 receiver. Now it all works fine and using wireless speakers are much easier than running wires. No longer a Samsung fan!

Yep.... we have used HP computers for years, DECADES....

Same deal with them.

Purchased 2 "all in one" models that really do more than I need, talk to, touch screen, and who knows what...
But all those features have quirks, or more like beyond my mentality to absorb.
Been having issues with our feed.
It's a small independent company that recently, and still is, installing fiber-optics along the roadways.
We still can't get 5G service here on the island even.

All of this stuff makes my mind swirl.

I used to chuckle to myself when I use to walk through the airports and see folks glued to their electronics, the person next to them might be having a heart attack.... and they wouldn't even notice.

Hell, now I'll probably be holding my phone when I have a heart attack.

Just heard a report that a Japanese company is working on a robot that will have a sense of humor and use it to lighten up conversations, etc...

I guess the best I can hope for is that they have no weight restrictions to be BEAMED UP

Not sure how you setup your new tv. On some of the new rigs the soundbar has to work through the audio system of the radio while watching the tv.
