Hello
I bought myself a soundbar, the SB300, which has an RCA input and an optical input. On my Schneider LED40 TV, I don't have an RCA or optical output, just a coach out and headphone output, and I also have HDMI ARC. Thank you very much.

    Hello, did you check if there was an adapter included?

      No, there are only RCA cables with it.

    Hello,
    "output coach out"
    coach, are you sure???
    What is the complete reference of your TV?
    That said, there is a solution with the headphone output, but give the reference first

      I had asked you for the complete reference, but anyway
      Your TV has a coaxial digital output and your soundbar has an optical digital input
      You need to buy a coax -> optical converter, this one for example:
      https://www.amazon.fr/kwmobile-Convertisseur-bidirectionnel-coaxial-Toslink/dp/B01CQMPWKM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1546014295&sr=8-4&keywords=convertisseur+coaxial+vers+optique
      Connections:
      From the TV to the converter with a simple RCA cable:
      And we don’t care about the color
      Then an optical cable between the converter output and the soundbar:
      USB cable provided to a free USB port on the TV or use a 220 volts -> USB socket like a phone charger
      Switch the converter to the Coax-> optical direction as it can work in both directions.

      Sorry, it's the Schneider LED40-SC600K HDTV and I tried with a digital to analog audio converter and it doesn't work either. I will try the adapter that you put in the link. Thank you very much.

    Otherwise, simple solution but you’ll only have analog stereo instead of digital surround:
    Your TV has a headphone output (3.5mm female jack) and your stereo has an RCA input
    Buy a jack-to-RCA cable like this:

    Plug the jack into the headphone output of the TV and the other end into the RCA input of the stereo which you will switch to this input
    The TV sound should not be turned up too high => saturation of the stereo input => sound distortion, you need to find a balance to be above the noise but not saturate, the best is to set the home sound quite high, advantage: you can control the volume with the TV remote...;)

    To try while waiting for the converter since the cable is inexpensive
