Ok so I bought one of these turntables which has phono out AND digital optical out:

My thinking was that I could plug this directly into a sons playbar which has a digital optical in and it would play through my speakers. It doesn't I cannot get the record player to output a signal which the playbar can read, at the end of the optical cable there is a red light which is the signal, I have also plugged the record player into an old Sony hifi with digital optical in and an old amp and nothing no sound.
I took it back to Richer Sounds thinking that there was a fault, we plugged it into a hifi with the same digital cable and it worked first time!?
Therefore my question is that the record player is kicking out a digital 24bit signal, is this a new type of signal which only brand new systems can read? The playbar hears the signal but no sound comes out because as soon as i turn the turntable on and the signal is sent it interrupts spotify on the songs playbar but then no sound?
Any help would be great I'm pulling my hair out!
