Solution
If the Bluetooth soundbar has audio input ports then you can connect it that way, if it is Bluetooth only and does not have 3,5mm/rca or optical toslink input then no you have no way to connect them.

You can buy a Bluetooth adpator, I've bought several (£6 each ebay), each one can connect to two different Bluetooth speakers at the same time. You plug a 3.5mm jack plug in the bottom of it with the other end directly into your headphones socket of anything that squirts out audio.
 


Post is from 16 months ago, think the problem has been sorted out by now.
Your advice does not really coincide with OPs issue either of connecting his soundbar to TV for audio from home theater A/V equipment; your suggestion would only allow a PC to push sound only to the bluetooth soundbar. Just because a device like a tv or dvr has a USB plug in zero way means it has any sort of drivers to support that USB device.

LOL, sorry didn't notice the date. But it was very relevant to his question, he wasn't suggesting 'Home theatre' equipment, just that he had a TV that didn't have Bluetooth and could he connect a Bluetooth soundbar to it. Which he can with these adaptors, they're brilliant and convert any stereo output to Bluetooth that then connect via Bluetooth to up to two different stereo Bluetooth speakers. Unsure why you're dismissing them out-of-hand?
 
Aww when i orginally read it i thought it was a usb based adapter (link would have been helpful).
Curious now how well they would actually pair together since you have no screen or interface for either device.
Naturally using physical cables from TV to sound bar would be much more ideal.

You put the adaptor in pairing mode with the button and put the speaker in pairing mode and hope for the best. You can then repeat that for a second soundbar. Great for me so that I could have a second Bluetooth soundbar in the games room, no wires.
