There are several ways to connect your record player to your soundbar. Depending on the type of input jacks that your soundbar has available, you can use an auxiliary cord or RCA cable. Here is a breakdown of all three possible connections and how they work:

Auxiliary Cord (3.5mm) Connection An auxiliary cord, also known as a “headphone” cord, is a 3.5mm cable that plugs into the headphone jack on your record player. This is the most common way to connecting record player to soundbar, as most soundbars have an auxiliary input jack. The other end of the auxiliary cord plugs into the aux input jack on your soundbar.

RCA Cable (2 x RCA) Connection an RCA cable is a two-channel cable with red and white plugs on each end. One end of the RCA cable plugs into the “line in” or “auxiliary” input jack on your record player. The other end of the RCA cable plugs into the “line in” or “auxiliary” input jack on your soundbar.

Optical Cable (TOSLINK) Connection An optical cable, also known as a TOSLINK cable, is a digital audio cable that plugs into the “optical out” or “digital out” jack on your record player. The other end of the optical cable plugs into the “optical in” or “digital in” jack on your soundbar.
