I had high expectations for my purchase but had to swallow my pride when it came time to set up and use it. Generally, I never bother with owners guides for setting up something like this, but it was quickly apparent that help was needed. However, the instructions were next to worthless so I turned to Google for additional support but that wasn't that much help either. The little remote that comes with the unit is integral in setting the Mode between whether you connect by the digital Optical Cable or choose the analog VGA route. We have still not figured out how to get the Optical cable to work, so we're stuck with the VGA. All indications are the Optical cable is delivering a a signal from the TV since it glows red, but it doesn't connect, so we've settled for the VGA.
Also is spite of the advertised feature that the TV remote can control the sound level on the Polk Soundbar, the two are not compatible. If you have an RF remote for your TV as we do, you will need to rely on the stinky Polk remote for controlling sound level since it only accepts IR signals via the Polk remote. This limitation is not communicated in the product specifications and we only learned that we wouldn't be able to link during our Google search to figure out how to set it up. Bottom line is I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Even though the sound is ok, the interfaces to use it leave much to be desired.

There are only a limited number of options to connect my Acer Laptop to an external monitor and this cable is just the ticket. The HDMI port on the laptop connects to the DVI port on the monitor. Job done.

All smiles when I first plugged them into my computer. Sounded great and was very happy. But only 3 weeks after using them, I noticed a feedback type buzz coming through the speaker and discovered that it is related to the volume control knob. If I am using the speakers for a while (an hour) at the same setting there will be a faint buzz/hum which develops, but goes away if I change the volume setting. I am concerned that this is just the beginning of the issue and will continually get worse as time goes on. Be wary!!!

What's great about it: Nice rich sound
What's not so great: Volume control knob is of poor quality

I have a Polk soundbar I can hear my music but when I push the Source number 2 which is the TV I cannot hear my TV
Try the VGA cable and then toggle between Modes using the small Polk remote to see if you can get sound. The optical cable didn't work for us regardless of the Mode selected.
