Hello,

I bought a cheap TV from Cdiscount of the brand Oceanic and a Bluetooth soundbar from Electro Dépôt of the brand Blaupunkt, but to my surprise, I can't connect it to my TV because I have neither an optical port nor a jack input on the TV, while the soundbar has an optical port, a jack port, and USB. Apparently, there is no solution according to Electro Dépôt and Boulanger, but I doubt that. Can you please help me? Thank you.

    According to LCDcompare, this television has:
    - an analog output (headphone)
    - a digital coaxial output
    https://www.lcd-compare.com/televiseur-OCEOCEALED32H20B7-OCEANIC-OCEALED32H20B7.htm
    however, the manual https://api.oceanic.eu/upload/f14bee3d24789532c9acd1591049a819.pdf
    only shows a digital coaxial output.

    The solution is therefore to use a Coaxial In to Optical Out converter

    Another solution may exist if the Orange TV decoder has an optical output.
    Which model is this Orange decoder?

    In both cases, there is a setting to be made in the menus of the television or the decoder to activate the digital output.

      It’s strange that it was specified on the lcdcompare site that there was an analog headphone output while there isn't one on the TV; the manual doesn’t mention it either... for outputs, there are only coaxial and mini AV. The converter isn’t too cheap knowing that you’d need the cables with it, making it even more expensive. In the end, it’s going to be almost as expensive as the soundbar, lol. Otherwise, my Orange decoder has a TNT output and SPDIF. The model is UHD TV decoder DTIW385, serial number 320182074329.

    No luck....
    The decoder also only has a coaxial output (SPDIF) .
    As for the Mini AV socket, it is an input and not an output (see manual on page 6).

    As for the price... with less than €30, it is possible to find the converter plus the cables
    On Amazon https://www.amazon.fr/Shiwaki-Convertisseur-Coaxial-Optique-Optical/dp/B0818XD1TH
    or https://www.amazon.fr/Convertisseur-Num%C3%A9rique-Adaptateur-Dolby-AC3-%C3%A9quipement/dp/B07BPKMDKT (€30.97 with cables)

      Okay, well I’ll think about it; either I buy everything or I return the soundbar. Thank you very much, in any case.

    In message #4, I stated: "In both cases, there is a conversation to be had in the menus of the television or decoder to activate the digital output.
    Have you activated the Coaxial (SPDIF) digital output in the menu of the device to which you connected your converter?

    Hello,
    What is the model of this Océanic television (see label on the back)
    that provides the image, a rooftop antenna or a collective one or a decoder or TV box?

    Is it 100% certain that the converter will work? Thank you in advance.

      It's not the first one that has been recommended... In theory, it works...
      Otherwise, it's return to sender....

        Hello, I'm getting back to you regarding the TV soundbar adapter I received, and it doesn't work. Is there a setting or manipulation that needs to be done? Thank you in advance.
