Does this work directly with tv / dvd player out of the box or does it need extra wires / receivers before it can work?

This package just includes the speakers. For a home theater system, you will need a separate A/V receiver, speaker wire, speaker mounts, subwoofer cable, plus the necessary HDMI cables for your TV, cable box, router, etc.

Nope, this is just the speakers. You'll need speaker wire to attach it to anything, and you will probably need a receiver to plug the individual speaker wires into. I use a Yamaha, works great.

This has to be connected to a reciever, and you must purchase all the wires.

It is no different to hook up than any other DVD player. It comes with an adapter plug which fits thestandard U.S. electrical sockets and I connected it to my RCA HD TV with an HDMI cable, then put thedisks in and enjoyed. It has worked perfectly.

No, it uses speaker wire. I've never seen a TV with a hookup for that. You need a receiver.

I don't know the specifics of your setup but it does have audio out from DVD player. I have the audio out from the tview hooked up to the audio in of my pioneer head unit. I play the sound through the factory speakers.

Yes, your DVD will work fine... though limited in its connections, it is still a great buy. I listed all the info in my review. Nothing new that is not covered there already by myself and the others. The best manner to connect the DVD will be with an HDMI wire ($5 -$10) if the DVD player has such an input. If not perhaps a component video wire ( RED, GREEN, BLUE ) combined with RCA wire for the audio.

I use mine with a regular receiver. I just had to adapt the wires at the receiver.

Hi Miranda,Being a DVD player only (and not a surround system/DVD combo), you only have the standard digital output (coax style, NOT optical) and the red/white RCA outputs. You would need to purchase an amplifier to hook your speakers to after using the 2 outputs I just described. What model is your old Philips? If I can look that one up, I can probably give you an even better answer.Mike

1) Yes the 910 will accept signals from a standard def box. Connect it to the 910 via component. The video signals will be upconverted to HDMI and sent to the TV.2) Connecting the DVD player to the 910 via component you will get video. I think you will not get sound through you TV due to some limitations of HDMI (not sure). However you can connect your TV directly to the DVD player with optical or RCA cable.Hope this helps.

It works with my Direct TV remote for volume and powering off and on. All other functions (modes, sources, bass, ect) has to be accessed by the included remote.

With your CD player, yes. With your receiver, no. It is an active sound bar designed to connect directly to your TV ( it does not require or work with a receiver). You can plug it into your TV and still plug your CD player into it as well. If you're looking for a solution that will work with your receiver the Atlantic Technology FS 7.1 is your best bet.

I agree. All the new receivers require HDMI connections. If your TV does not have an HDMI connection for TV input then it will not work. The older TV's had the component cables (Red, Blue and Green).

You would need a RCA cable, the cord that comes with the dvd player,(red,white,yellow)

The TV that we connected it to does not have a cable box so it is connected straight to the TV. We have a game system also which is used as a DVD player so there is a very easy connection. The remote for the speaker system has a source button and you would just push that depending on if you are watching TV or playing your DVD player. It sounds good.

It works right out of the box. Make sure the receiver is plugged in and is within line of site. If all else fails try replacing the batteries in the remote.

the remote was missing when I bought my house and this worked great...it will work with it's own receiver which is included...just plug it in and hook up a couple of wires...can't go wrong for $17

You can connect this system directly to your TV or your receiver. If you don't have a receiver and are looking to buy one, I recommend pairing this with the Harman-Kardon-AVR-1700-Network-Connected Audio/Video Receiver with AirPlay (ASIN: B009HB2USI). In short, no, you do not need a DVD player to make this speaker system functional.

It comes with a receiver, but yes it should. The wires are basic audio cables.
