If you have a sound bar on this TV, can you run sound ONLY through those and not the TV speakers?

You can run it through both at the same time if you would like. It played through both on mine when I initially set up the soundbar, so I just turned the volume all the way down on the TV.

I installed my sound bar through my bluray player. I don't know if you're trying to plug in from your tv or what, but the sound should come from whatever is actually playing the media.

The tv needs to have an optical out and the sound bar has the optical in, that'll send the sound thru the tv to the sound bar. If your not getting any sound from the sound bar it's probably in the wrong port.

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.

Sure. Just input the output sound from from your TV via, optical, hdmi, or analog.

As long as the sound bar had a pre out for a sub you can. If it doesn't then no.

Have you got a cable box hooked to your tv? If you do you have to run the sound bar through the cable box or you must disable tv's sound coming through the cable box. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. , whatever input you select, this device splits it into a separate audio and video signal. Audio can be linked soundbar through your digital audio port using a toslink audio cable.

If yout TV has a headphone or 3.5mm output you can plug that into the speaker bar.

Hello B.E. Murphy,This surround sound bar plays through your television's audio output so anything you play on your TV will be heard in the surround sound including blu-ray players and gaming consoles. Thanks for your interest!

Yes, the sound bar must have sub-out. If not then you'll have to use a receiver and connect the sound bar and sub. Which is the way I have it set up

Yes, you have the option on your TV to "turn off " the speakers....you can also mute the tv...or you can mute the sound bar....I do both in "fiddling" with them to see what the best sound is for what I am watching...I watched Burlesque last night with some great music and singing....I can't imagine a better sound....I am tending to use both tv speakers and soundbar... 4 is better than 2 kind of thinking...

No. They require an amplified signal. The output from a tv is unpowered. You can however, run the output from your tv into an amplifier input, that has matching output wattage to the speakers you want to use.

Can't tell from pictures and the info on your TV whether it has any kind of outputs (RCA or headphone out). If your sound currently gets to your TV through HDMI, you'll need some kind of output from the TV, unless the source (Bluray, cable box etc) has audio outputs separate from HDMI. In the latter case, you can just use a mini stereo or aux cable and run it to the sound bar. It also accepts Bluetooth, if you have a PC, phone, or tablet that has Bluetooth you can pair it.

No. Since external speakers are connected, the tv volume control does not work any more. Hope this helps.

This is only a problem if you are using the TV's internal receiver. Most people use an external device, such as a cable box, DVD player, or AV receiver - then output the signal to the TV. If you do this, you can send the audio output from the external device directly to your soundbar.
