Hello

I have a turntable with only one output, a pre-amplified RCA output, and I want to connect it to my Samsung soundbar, on the USB input.

Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    What is the model of this Samsung soundbar?


    It's very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room.
    Especially when it's not there...

    It's a Samsung HW A450.

    Thank you.

      For me, the USB port is designed to read from a USB storage device (USB stick), but not to connect an analog input.

      If you want to connect your turntable to the soundbar, you absolutely need an analog-to-digital audio converter. So, RCA input to connect the turntable to optical output to connect to the soundbar.

    Thank you for your response. I will buy this analog-to-digital converter, but my optical port is already being used for my TV. Are there multi-jack blocks for optical cables?

    Or are there analog-to-digital converters with RCA input and USB output?

    Best regards

    If you had provided the configuration of your equipment from the start, we would probably have made faster progress.

    Who supplies the image to the television?

    Are there other devices connected to the television (brand and model)?

    There are optical switches (multiple inputs - 1 output) with a remote control.

    Are there analog-to-digital converters with RCA input and USB output?

    The answer is no.
    With RCA input, it's necessarily an analog input... as already mentioned, the USB port on the soundbar is intended for connecting a storage unit (hard drive or USB stick).
