Do I need to separately run a wire for my gaming system to get sound for that or can I just run both devices into the TV?

You can, but their is no need. Connect the optical cable directly from the sound bar to the tv and the sound from your gaming system will play out of the sound bar assuming your gaming system is connected to the tv via a hdmi cable.

Yes, you hook the red and white sound wire from the system to your tv outputs (red and white)... it works great I use it a lot! Good for everything!

Probably. It depends on your TV set's ability. The TV's user manual should inform you whether the audio out is separately controlled.

You will need to buy sound cables, I used Monster Cables, strip the cables and inert the plus to the red clamp and the minus to the black. If you have a receiver do the same there. If you are going direct to your TV, you will have to figure what kind of hook-up you will need.

Yes, just run it to your receiver and use the receiver to TV's to connection to your TV's.

No, you need to have another SONOS device connected to your television. If you already have a sound system connected to your television, you could connect using the Sonos Connect. If you don't have a sound system, you could connect using either the Sonos Connect:AMP (which would have two speaker connected to it) or Sonos Playbar.

I'm not sure if you're asking like you want to watch your TV thru the surround sound or you want to hook up another component either way if you run it through RCA's and run itthrough the auxiliary it works fine

U can set it up that way or if you have a new tv you may need a speaker system separate from the tv

Yes. Your PC probably uses a 3.5mm audio connection to it's speakers (which this device has an input for). You will need to plug the PC into this device as well as from the game system. Just press the corresponding button on the device to choose which component you wish to listen to, when you are using each one. I'm not sure but you may be able to utilize both at the same time. Hope this helps.

There are basically two inputs on this. One is an optical and the other is rca. My tv has an optical out, so everything runs through my television then out to my sound bar. That way if you just want to use the sound from the tv you can.

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

I'm using it to output from Plasma TV with only a fiber optic output (so I had to use a Toslink converter) and from my wii console so I can get TV sound and game sound to my sound bar which only has the RCA input (no fiber optic or HDMI inputs) I don't lose any sound quality at all. I can't guarantee you won't because I'm using it for a totally different use. This is a toggle..so only one circuit works at a time.

No you would need to run a seperate audio cable. But that cable could b as simple as an 18/2 stranded speaker wire.

connect it to the red and white audio out ports... when connected to these everything connected to the tv can play thru the system, haven't had a single issue

Yes, that is correct. This item is designed to split a single source into two outputs. It is not designed to combine two sources into one. So you will need separate inputs on your TV; you might choose the component output for one item and HDMI output for the other.

yes, but you have to run audio seperate. you can use VGA, HDMI and RCA inputs.

If your tv has rca audio outs, then yes you can. In fact, nearly any kind of audio out would work with the right cable (i.e. if your tv only has a 3.55" speaker out, buy a dual rca to 3.55" cord for a few $$). I run mine out from a mixer that is connected to my audio interface on my pc, my tv and my xbox. They make for awesome entertainment speakers... I run them along with a 12" sub as well and it sounds like a movie theater in my bedroom. So the answer is yes...as long as there is some kind of audio out on your tv.
