Does the set require a separate amplifier and speakers, or does it work well just through a stereo HD TV?

I connected my grand videoke to my soundbar and a good bass its worked great so its better connect it with good speaker system

We have a surround system with our tv. It doesnt need to have a seperate speaker so the tv speakers should be ok

Hey Richard, it depends on your setup. Your speakers would need white and red plug-ins and your TV would need to have an auxiliary jack of some sort. I have mine running from a shelf speaker system into my green speaker jack for my computer, personally.

Yes, This amp will work for a TV with small speakers. You just need to know how to connect everything correctly.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

No. It's just an additional source of sound, independent of the TV's speakers.

A quick visit to the Audioengine web site (hint!) shows (since I'm at work and cannot look at the back of my speakers at home...) that the system has two input modes: the four RCA (+/-, LR) connectors, and a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack. However, if your TV has only digital outputs available (which would seem odd, to me), some kind of converter would be required, I should think.

Like others have said, you need an amplifier to drive the speakers so they are best used hooked to a home theater system or an inline amplifier hooked between the speakers and your TV. Amplifiers built into TVs typically have just enough power to drive the TV's speakers only. Check your TV owner's manual.

I connected a new blue-ray player to and old TV that only had component conections and it worked fine. Beware sound requires a separate cable

The amplifier is contained in the sub woofer unit. You do not need any thing else to connect this to your TV. (You can also connect blue tooth devices and use a cable with mini stereo jacks or even RCA plugs.)

Two things: 1. Make sure that the TV option for sound is set to the internal speakers, otherwise it will direct the sound signal to the mini-plug sound output jack on the back of the set (this is used to send the signal to another amplifier to drive external speakers). 2. Make sure that any routing of the HDMI signal to and from other devices is arranged properly (i.e. devices-&gt;inputs of receiver and Input to TV is from the TV-out hdmi port)

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

Just speakers and a sub.. Decent set for 5.1 sound for movies and tv but not exactly made for music. Solid value for the price and a decent 5.1 receiver can be found for cheap if you wait for the right sale. Best of luck

I'm using the amp for my flat screen tv, which only has a digital audio out. The tv's speakers aren't very good. I run the digital audio out to a digital to analog converter. Then it's a simple matter of hooking up some speakers. BTW, the amp is well worth the money if you can use its configuration.

My 40" set has an "audio out" plug just beside the component jacks in back.I simply ran a cord to an extra stereo receiver and then to some speakers. I get theater type sound in my basement. I suspect you could go directly into some bookshelf speakers if you wanted.

yes, you'll need an amplifier and speakers, unless you wish to only listen via headphones.

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, because the base was separate in the box the set came in. I attached it to the TV monitor part.You didn't ask this, but the only thing I don't like about this TV is the sound, which is crappy. I finally attached it via audio out cables to a Bose system and turned the TV volume down to zero so that the speakers in the unit aren't used at all.I really like the LED screen. Unlike an LCD screen, you can see the picture even when looking from the side.
