Howard- thanks for replying- Yes, connecting to the headphone jack is a success.Had to locate & fix a hum in my vintage receiver first and am really happy with the sound now. Love it when mixing old & new technology works.T.

Undecided whether to get this or a Magnavox- price difference is $25 more. What do you think?

Absolutely, it will work and this particular HDTV does have a headphone jack. (I think that many TV's don't but I am not sure.)Also all of these flat screens have lousy speakers since they have to make the TV so small, so using other speakers would be extremely helpful.

Has anyone tried hooking up a laptop? I tried it hooked up to the PC input on my Bravia TV and get NO (ok, very little) volume. It's been suggested that a setting on my laptop needs to be changed. I need to watch streaming video for work. Anyone have ideas?

According to posts in the AVS Forum, headphones can be connected via the RCA analog audio outputs. Are you trying to listen simulataneously via speakers and headphones, though? I'd be interested to know if that is possible without connecting an external sound system. TIA.

We have not experienced this, our Audio out only works with the input line 1. input 2,3,4 does not have a Analog Audio out to a receiver. We use a Laptop to plug into line one and our output goes to a projector and a TV and the Audio goes over our speaker system.

No, you can not connect these speakers directly to your HDTV, unless your TV has speakers connectors, which I have not seen one thus far. The do not come with any wirings/cords. If you want a 5.1 Surround sound or bigger speakers than your TV, then you will need the following. RCA Wirings to connect the TV sound outputs into a Receiver, which you need to buy [if you do not have one]. Then buy good speaker wires/cords to connect the Receiver connect to these speakers. The samples in the Internet seemed to be missing the Receiver. They only show the TV and the speakers, which is misleading to some who is not familiar to sound system set ups.

I use a VGA cable to run my laptop off of my TV. However instead of hooking up an audio cable to the television I just plug in a small set of speakers to the laptop to increase the volume coming off of the laptop. It's really same thing, just that sound comes off of the computer instead. Just a suggestion and another option.

If you have your TV connected to a surround sound system, you could connect the headphones to an audio output on the surround sound receiver. Either that, or you might try looking for an audio adapter that goes from digital to RCA plugs. Sorry to say, it doesn't sound like you have too many options. These headphones really do sound, and work great, if you can get them connected. Hope this helps. Good luck.

your computer may not have this capability to send the sound through your HDMI cable. you can get a seperate sound cable for your jack in the back of the tv or get speakers for your computer. I use speakers on my computer.

In order to hear the speakers from the TV you're using as a monitor you would need to connect an audio cable to it just as you would with a regular monitor. However, if you have speakers other than those built in to the TV, those will work without connecting anything to the TV. I have extra speakers, a 5.1 surround system that is connected to an upgraded audio card in the computer. If you do not have this, then there should be a wire to connect to your computer to an audio plug on the back of theTV, just as you would do so if you have a regular computer monitor. I hope that helps.

I assume that you don't have an audio RCA output either. Many newer TV's only have a Toslink or Coax connector. I connect my Sennheiser to my Samsung SMART TV with a digital to analog converter. They accept Toslink or Coax inputs.The cheaper ones only take PCM and can be found for $10 to $25 on the internet. It works great for me.

I plugged into the usb input of my windows 8 laptop and it automatically installed the drivers (plug and plan). I have not tried the RCA analog outputs since I am connecting a headphone. From the manual the volume control for the output only works for the headphone jack. When using the RCA output you have thru adjust volume thru your amp.With the USB input, resolution is a maximum of 24 bit 96Hz

Can you provide further details of what you are trying to do?Generally you can only connect one input to a speaker system so either the PC or the HDTV. If the PC has a 5.1 soundcard, the cables that come with the X-530 can be used to hook it up. The quick-connect guide that comes with the X-530 will indicate which connections and where on your sound card.Depending on your HDTV audio outputs, you may need additional cables. If you have the manual of the TV you can look in it to find out what all outputs it has prior to determining which cables you will need.

Why are you buying adapters? The rca connections are on the back where they belong and if you want to connect secondary input /output devices use the rca male/female Y cables not to mention why would you want to connect all those cables in front of the unit? In my private computer and audio system setup I have a computer,two receivers,a 300 disc cd player,a turntable and a cd recorder and they can all play through two different sets of speakers. I used rca male and female Y cables to achieve the task. I can record from all of them and play back from the recorder. USE THE Y CABLES.

Thanks very much for your question. The headphones you inquire about will not connect to most TVs unless there is a specific headphone jack. For TV you should look at the Sennheiser RS120 or RS 160 system. World Wide Stereo is a 35 years old dealer.

I wasn't able to figure it out, though I have heard it is possible to get that working. I had an extra AUX cord lying around so I just plugged that into my headphone jack on my laptop and into the Audio outlet on the TV, and it worked perfectly.

Hi Ken,Did you try it? Did it work? I want to run the Bluray player or TV HDMI sound out to RCA in to my stereo to get more sound out of my tv.Martha

If you want the sound from the TV then you have to buy the headphone jack that fit your computer and splits into an RCA red and white to go into the back of the television. It works really well from my computer with this configuration. But to answer your question is it provided, it is not.
