It depends on how the soundbar and any other speakers are hooked up. On our 2011 Landmark, the speakers are all attached to the surround sound device. Since the DVD player is built into that device its sound plays through the speakers. There was no connection between TV audio out and surround sound device inputs.
I added a cable from TV audio output to surround sound audio input. However, when watching Directv, the audio lagged the video by quite a bit, possibly because the Directv device was a DVR. To fix that I took off the first cable and ran a cable from the Directv receiver audio output to the surround sound audio input.
You should take a look at the soundbar and TV manuals to see what kinds of inputs and outputs they have. Then refer to our RV Audio Connections Illustrated User Guide to see what cable or other devices you might need to make the connection.

We had the same problem with our Cyclone. I finally replaced the cheap RCA receiver with a Yamaha and used the RCA as a componant for DVD's with the new receiver. Now all input goes to the receiver and from there to the TV. We also replaced the sub woofer and now have fairly good surround sound system. I plan to replace the surround speakers next year.The receiver also has a tuner so it solved the problem of no radio in the living area. The receiver, sub woofer and digital media player were all under $400.00.

I keep seeing where you say surround sound, in my 4005 I have the speaker above my tv, should I have more speakers somewhere ?

Ii have a 2018 4005 and I'm wanting to replace the RCA DVD system with a surround sound av receiver. You mentioned you replaced yours with a Yamaha. Do you have the model number and did you put it in the same spot where the RCA was? The space seems so small so just trying to figure out what will fit and if any modifications are necessary.
Thank you,

It was a Yamaha RX-V377 5.1-Channel A/V Home Theater Receiver. I had to extend the cabinet 3" to get the reciever to fit. I bought some 3" trim from Heartland that matched the cabinet, attached it on end and then moved the doors out. I was a pretty simple mod. It took about 2 hours. We still use the RCA as a DVD player. I could attach some pictures of the extension on the cabinet if it would help.

Just checking to see if you had a chance to take some pics of the mod for the receiver.
Thanks

Sorry for the delay. The snow had me blocked form getting inside. The pictures are not the best but you can see how I extended the cabinet with the material I ordered from Heartland. I tried everything to get the pictures upright.

No problem, thanks for the pics. I had seen your post on my phone and didn't notice you had a 4250. We have a 4005 so our cabinet much different and even less room but I appreciate your time.

Ours had RCA jacks, but the new TV only had optical out. Turns out that there are optical to RCA, Optical to HDMI, and vice versa available. So I used a optical to RCA jack adapter. Purchased on ebay. Cheep and works well. So see just what output your TV has and what input is available on your surround system. Perhaps an adapter will work for you.

In order to play the TV through the sound system, you'll probably need to see what type of output the TV has and what type of input the sound system has. You can consult our RV Audio Connections Illustrated User Guide to figure out what cable and adapter devices are needed.

Thanks...I was hoping to hear from anyone who replaced the Blu Ray surround player with an actual av receiver and fit it in the same space. The 4005 has very limited space in that cabinet under the TV.
