Thank you so much to both of you. We have it working with the headphones out, it doesn't make a tremendous amount of difference, but there is a difference. I think what I will do is buy an optical cable, that wasn't supplied with the unit. Strange thing is I was advised to buy an HDMI cable, which I dutifully did, only to find there isn't a fitting for the cable on the sound bar. But again, thank you for your help. Wendy x
