Mi TV 2 got 1 x 3.5mm audio jack and 1 S / PDIF jack. Same for the soundbar too. But the audio cable supplied, 1 end is 3.5mm audio jack and the other end is S / PDIF jack.

So what would be the best way to connect the TV to the soundbar?

Currently, I connect 3.5mm jack from TV to the S / PDIF input on the soundbar.

I don't see the 1 S / PDIF jack from the tv. Only 3.5mm

You are right. I just checked again and cannot see S/ PDIF jack.

Specs say have but I cannot find also.

Another thing, I thought the remote controller suppose to be BlueTooth type but the one I got is IR type. How about the rest of you?

bluetooth controller for 49" mitv 2, others are IR default.

You are right. I just checked again and cannot see S/ PDIF jack.

I am surprised...3.5mm is meant for analogue signal whereas S/PDIF is for digital signal carried optically (by light, same as optical fibre).

Anyway, I found this that claims to be the original Xiaomi cable (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...o-RCA-1-2m-Length-Oxygen-free/1753817002.html)

Is your cable similarly to this? If so, can you examine the tips of both plugs to see if there are lenses there? If there are then the signal is carried optically.

I suppose this is "Specifications are subject to change without notice"

Hi Guys! First post, before I wasjust a silent reader
I'm in China and got the 49" MiTV2 a few weeks ago. All in all an awesome TV, just the software is naaaah.... So I'm glad I found this english speaking forum, as my Chinese is far from good enough to read in the Chinese Mi-Forum!

So here is what I want to know:
I bought a Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse Combination.
It happens that the mouse on the screen is very slow from time to time. It lags behind a little. Someone has a bluetooth mouse and has similar issues? I also realized, that I can't use the keyboard for input in every situation. It works fine in Games, but when the Mi-Keyboard appears, its useless...

Second: How can I enter the settings for the sound bar? I remember in the bgeinning, when I set up the TV, I could adjust the volume of the subwoofer. But now I can't find these settings anymore...

Third: Anyone updated to 1.1.88 yet? TV keeps asking

P.s.: Anyone found a hack to disable the ads? Worst thing about it is, that I almost have any of the products they are advertising already at home

the jack>spdif cable provided is correct.

1. I connect a common 4 ports usb hub --- wired mouse or wifi keyboard &mouse or MeLe F10 air mouse, sd card , portable harddisk.. .. working fine

2 Sound - settings > Sound and display param

3 Hold your horse on 1.1.8.8 ... better disable update..
Some cannot turn On the tv after this update..

S/PDIF Port

Just to share this article which should help us to understand the workings of the S/PDIF

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-spdif-connection/

Quote from the article

On laptops, the presence of an SPDIF output is more difficult to detect, because it is usually combined with the headphone jack, supporting the 3.5 mm optical connector...

I checked the 小米specs again. The tv has one audio out which suports for both line out (analogue) and S/PDIF.

Thx for the reply!
I actually only need the bluetooth mouse/keyboard because in some Apps a "touch" is definetl needed. Here comes the mouse into play. So it's actually enough for my purpose.

For the update:
I disabled auto-update. Nevertheless the notification poped up from time to time. Guess what? Happened while I was playing some games. Guess again? I pushed it... No chance to avoid it... Luckily my TV still works So I'm on 1.1.88 now. By the way it included an update for the soundbar.

Question for soundbar users: How to turn the bar and subwoofer off? After switching off the TV, the subwoofer and bar stay on (logo on woofer is white).

No wonder lah .... why don't they just give BT controller for all? *sigh*

How to see the lens on the cable? I don't think I see any lens on the cable.

Yes. The cable looks exactly like the one in the picture above.

So I guess the 3.5mm audio out jack is also a SPDIF out also.

I have ordered this for my Mi TV 2.

Item : Measy GP800 Wireless mini air mouse keyboard touchpad for Android smart TV PC
Price : About SGD$15.40

Just got this few days ago. Just plug the doogle in and it is up and running.

This is my review :

- Build quality is not bad
- Connection is good
- Buttons is well spaced out
- Buttons feel rubbery, so quite nice to press
- Mouse pad is good too ... can use 2 finger to scroll up and down

Few problems which I found, or maybe I don't know how.

- NO power button to power up the TV

With Firmware 1.1.70 (Stable), I can press "Shift + Space" to switch language input. But after upgrading to 1.1.82 (Stable) firmware, cannot liao. *sian*

I got the controller about to try. The trackpad is pretty good for the usage. Can type easily.

But got :
1. NO Power button
2. NO source input change
3. NO "Go back" button
4. NO Home button

Overall not very fantastic. But if you just want something that you can type and got mouse that you can use .... can consider this one.

Yes. The cable looks exactly like the one in the picture above.

The tips of the 2 plugs, as shown in red. So long as it is not metal and looks like plastic.
