I want to use these speakers with my existing TV. Is a separate amplifier required or will the audio out from my TV handle it?

No you will need a separate amp. I bought an inexpensive Pioneer that pushes 150 watts per channel and these speakers sound true and rich.

A separate amp is needed. The audio out from your tv is to connect that amp via rca or a/v cables. I used a fiber optic cable to connect my tv to the amp, but it is a newer hd model.

You will need an amplifier or A/v reciever. Tv output is not sufficient It does not decode the sound so it wont work

Just like any other speaker system, this system needs an amplifier. This is NOT like a home theater system with built in amplifier.

Plug A/V cable from out put to input on the amp. That should work and provide you audio for the tv.

I just use my marantz 5005 receiver and run my audio and video thru the receiver...no separate amp required as long as u have an AV (audio video) receiver

You need to buy a speaker system. You will not need an amplifier if you get a powered speaker.

You will have to go through some sort or preamp and amp to provide enough power to drive these speakers. Or a new/current day video receiver is the best match to give you fullest capabilities between your TV and stereo system.

No, you will need to supply your own cable to connect to your amp or receiver, either coaxial or toslink.

That depends on the inputs of your amplifier and the output of your tv. Look for the "audio out" on the back of your tv.

You will need an amplifier and an audio box to connect the amp to your PC. These speakers become more expensive than sticker price when amplifier, audio box, and cords are considered. I would NOT purchase these. Spend the extra money now on a pair of good self-powered speakers and an audio box and thats all you'll need. Spend the money on that stuff now or spend MORE money on these speakers as you go.

Unless the TV has external speaker drivers (unlikely), you'll need an amplifier hooked up to a TV sound output (which is the way mine are hooked up to a TV).

Yes you will need a separate amp. No these do not connect directly to a computer.

Yes you have 2 options. If your TV got a audio output then use that to connect this speakers. If your TV don't have audio output then you need use their AV option (You cannot HDMI)

There is an analog out and an optical out... either running RCAs or optical cable. The unit doesn't have enough power to run speakers on it's own... that is why a separate receiver is needed. If you have a set of powered computer speakers with a volume that is also another option as long as it has RCAs or optical in!!

As stated you need to have an amp with speaker outputs. We installed in ceiling in basement and connected to amp which had digital output from Tv to it

The 8 ohm speakers work fine (this is my second set), but they need an amplifier (driver) to make them work. You would have to check the technical manufacturers sheet that came with your TV to see if it what the power requirements are for external speakers. I'm using a Pioneer Elite amp and I can set the volume level of individuals speakers (surround sound)....but most TVs only have one set of external speaker jacks and it doesn't really solve your problem. You may want to check with Best Buy or some other store with someone who can discuss the specifics of your TV.

You need a receiver/amplifier, then wire connection from receiver to the speaker. TV will connect to receiver input.

Teresa - these speakers are not self-powered in any way, nor do they include any wiring. These are meant to be connected to an amplifier or HI-FI receiver, not to a TV directly. However, if you plug your TV into a receiver, then you might be able to use these.
