Philips TVs offer a digital audio output instead of standard audio output jacks or an optical audio output jack. However, because most external speakers or receivers don't have a digital audio input you need to use a converter to convert the digital audio to standard audio, making it possible for you to output your TV's audio feed to an external device, such as the Vizio Sound Bar. The Vizio Sound Bar offers a surround sound experience without all of the speakers. Connecting the Vizio Sound Bar to your Philips TV can bring movies, TV shows, games to life.
