I have an LG "Smart" LCD flat panel TV. It has multiple USB ports and HDMI ports available. Can the ND8630 LG Speaker be used as a TV Speaker?

Yes, if you have a smart TV that has wireless audio capabilities ("AirPlay") or Apple TV. It also has some ports on the rear for inputs. I honestly don't use them because I am all wireless.

Be aware that you wouldn't want to use this speaker system with a TV if that TVs external sound output level/volume is not adjustable from the remote. Some TVs have a fixed output so you should check your TVs manual.

Not exactly. We have DirecTV (Genie-wired type) and an LG 55LB6300 connected to our Denon S514. We also have a second LG TV (same model, smaller size) that only uses the on-board speakers. On the smaller LG without the sound bar, we see the TV's volume level (numbered) go up and down on the screen. On the larger LG, once I sync it with the S514, when we use the TV remote to adjust sound, instead of the numbers, we just see a large + or - on the screen and the sound bar volume increases or decreases accordingly.

In my experience with this device, it would not be compatible with your LG or any other tv. iI was using the device in conjunction with a PC as my "media center". I had a tv tuner hooked up to my computer and from there, used the Logitech diNovo to control the mouse pointer on my television. It's essentially your mouse and keyboard if your computer display was your Tv

Thanks Ben. I don't know too much about speakers so I appreciate your input. I have this TV and I can tell you that there are two separate sets of cables, as you anticipated for the R & L speaker..I guess I should think about 6.1 or just get a separate center speaker. On the other hand, could you let me know if, when reading the manual, you saw anything about setting it up through the on screen menu? Some TVs can simply set the TV speaker output to center speaker..Thanks!

Depends on the size of the room. The tv's sound is adequate for the room I have it in, but if you are using it in a large room, and don't want a full stereo system, get the LG NB2530A sound bar as an addition. It has a 100 watts, (2) subwoofers, bluetooth and sounds pretty good. Amazon has it for $169 right now.

Yes I did successfully using the cables the speakers come with. You may have to do some adjusting in settings on your TV though.

I have an LG tv but I believe it is compatible to any tv that has HDMI ports.

Hi Donna - from a quick search, there are adapters that exist that will go from 1/8" male to USB (found some on the other popular bidding site that ends in 'bay'). The ads say they will pass audio and power - I've never tried it so I don't know if it actually works. These speakers have decent sound (I've been happy with them), but I'm just using them instead of my laptop's speakers so I'm sitting fairly close to them - I'm not sure how great they'd be with a TV - maybe fine - just not sure.

You can run USB audio but not HDMI on this board. You can run the audio from the board and the video to the tv. Not sure if audio can be ran to both the USB and HDMI at the same time

From the Bose web page: *Designed for use with your stereo or home theater receiver So--yes, you do... unless... Of course, your flat screen output might have enough wattage to drive acceptable sound from your Bose speakers, but it's likely that you won't have enough volume without annoying levels of noise from the low-powered amp in your flat panel's audio wiring. If your TV has outputs for "external speaker" you might make those work to drive the Bose. With just a "line out" or "audio out" jack you may get some sound, but you probably need an amplifier or receiver to be happy. Good news--those are incredibly cheap used these days in the homes of baby boomers everywhere and your local Goodwill...

Yes, I think so, I have a small samsung flat TV, but I have my speakers to computer. On back of my TV, there is an " in" audio and also an " out" audio...I'm thinking you can just plug them into your TV. Hope this helps, but I'm not an expert to ask. hehe

I'd say yes. as long as you can use your TV as your center speaker you're better off with the back speakers as the option.

I am not sure. I have a LG tv plus the LG sound bar, and they work in unison. I have a Samsung dvd player with a HDMI cable. The sound bar is just ok, better than the tv speakers, but not a lot better.

Yes that shouldn't be a problem, because the speakers plug into an audio input outlet. I would check my tv first to ensure it had one before purchasing the speakers, but most newer models have it.

If you are able to hook this up to your TV and place the unit close to you, yes this will work, otherwise it is not very loud at a distance. It is a good speaker for voice clarity but it has almost ZERO bass. It is meant to be near, on a desk or book shelf but this sound bar IS NOT like a traditional surround sound sound bar. This sound bar is smaller and works with computers and laptops and some TV's. It did not work with my LG flat screen.

I don't see why not... I own and LG LED TV and it works perfect! I've never heard or read about different types of HDMI so it should work nice and smooth!
