Absolutely! The Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000 does not have an integrated AUX input port, but there are a few ways you can connect it to an external sound source, such as another soundbar or an audio device using an AUX cable. Here's what you can do:
1. If your other soundbar has an auxiliary (AUX) output port: Connect one end of the AUX cable into the AUX output port of the other soundbar. Then, connect the other end of the cable into the AUX input port of the Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000. Ensure that both soundbars are powered on and set to the appropriate input sources.
2. If your other soundbar doesn't have an AUX output port: Check if it has any other compatible audio output ports such as RCA or optical. If it does, you can use the appropriate cable (RCA or optical) to connect the audio output of the other soundbar to the corresponding input on the Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000. The RCA cable will have red and white connectors, while the optical cable will have a square-shaped connector with a red light inside.
Remember to select the correct input source on the Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000 to receive the audio from the connected soundbar. The input source options may be labeled on the soundbar or can be found in the user manual.
If you're unsure about the specific audio input and output ports on your soundbars, I recommend referring to their respective user manuals or contacting their customer support for more specific instruction.

Yes, there is a way to wire up an aux cable to the Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000. To do this, you will need a 3.5mm to 2 RCA audio cable. Connect one end of the cable to the 3.5mm aux input on the soundbar and the other end to the RCA outputs on your other device.
Once the cable is connected, you will need to select the aux input on the soundbar. You can do this by pressing the "Input" button on the remote control.
To connect to another soundbar, you will need to use an optical cable. Connect one end of the cable to the optical output on the Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000 and the other end to the optical input on the other soundbar.
Once the cable is connected, you will need to select the optical input on the other soundbar. You can do this by consulting the owner's manual for your soundbar.
Here are some additional tips for connecting your Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000 to other devices:
Make sure that the volume on the Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000 is turned up.
Make sure that the other device is turned on and that the volume is turned up.
Try using a different cable if you are having trouble connecting the Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000 to another device.
If you are still having trouble, consult the owner's manual for the Polk Audio SurroundBar 3000 and the other device.
