We do not have any amplifier with our TV. Can this sound bar just be set up directly to our TV? We have a 46 inch Sony.

Hi!This sound bar is the center of my sounround system. Is just a part of the equipment that you need in order to get a home theater.By the way this center is just for treble.

It depends if your tv supports direct connection of speakers. This speaker connects the same way most good speakers connect to your stereo with push or screw terminals. If your tv only has RCA terminals then you will need to get some kind of amplifier to connect the sound bar to. That being said, adding this device (center channel) to your system really helps hearing dialog.

The speaker in question is intended to be a center channel speaker for a home theater system. I doubt you have a center speaker connection on your Sony. If you do, it will work. If not, it could substitute for left or right speaker on your TV (assuming such connections are available) but that would not be a good use. You would be much better off with high quality left and right speakers to replace the built in TV speakers.

No, this Yamaha speaker is not a sound bar. It is just a center channel speaker, that would go with your other speakers (like front, etc.) and get connected to your sound system. You need to search for a "sound bar".

I doubt it. This is a center speaker channel speaker and the only connector in the back of this box is a just a pair of speaker terminals which should be connected with the output of the receiver. It doesn't have a digital input connector. I think what you really need is a sound bar which has a built-in amplifier designed to drive the speakers inside the sound bar and subwoofer.

Hi Sharon,unfortunately this is a centre speaker only and not a soundbar,which is totally different.A soundbar has the amplifier and inputs for sources such as blue ray player and tv audio built into it.They also come with a subwoofer for low frequency sound.I recently installed a Samsung sound bar and wireless Sub for a client that does everything except make popcorn.Bluetooth connectivity for music from the IPhone and for the sub.And hdmi inputs for picture/sound switching.Yamaha also make good quality sound bars.From memory the Samsung was around 700.00 Aussie dollars.But whatever you choose will be a major improvement over tv speakers.Just don't buy too cheap as the more you spend the more inputs and sound quality will improve.Subwoofer is a must also.I hope this helps you and have fun shopping.Cheers.

The sound bar will need a cable INPUT from TV AUDIO OUTPUT and should have come with one of these, optical cable, RCA or 1.5 plug.

I think you'll still need an amplifier. Im not familiar with that sound bar but I imagine it will not properly power these speakers.

You could use any of the inputs. However, I would use the Optical or HDMI input first; because they would give you the best quality sound with a current sound bar. I would use the analog, stereo input as your last option.

Dear James, Thanks for your inquiry. If you are going to use the headphone jack, you're going to probably come close to maxing the volume in the television itself so more signal gets into the soundbar. Does your TV have an optical audio output? That would be a better option.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

This sound bar will work with the your tv just fine. The only issue I have had with mine, was that sometimes my tv gets out of sync with the bar, as it doenst have a digital out. For the money, this is a pretty good setup once you get everything situated. It will be a bit longer than your tv. it is about 6 inches longer on both sides than your tv.

If you have Direct Tv you can use the rca jacks from your receiver and plug them right into your sound bar and then just turn up the volume on the tv and the sound bar. Works fine. Make sure you have a hdmi cable plugged into your receiver and tv. I hope this helps.

Almost! You will need a digital to audio converter first......here is the one I bought.... Orei DA21X Premium Optical SPDIF/Coaxial Digital to RCA L/R Analog Audio Converter with 3.5mm Jack Support Headphone/Speaker Outputs You connect the "Toslink" cable that comes with the converter.......from the TV to the converter. Then you connect the RCA cable from the other end of the converter.....to your sound bar. It works very well......GT:)

i purchased a decent sound bar with a wireless sub woofer. I don't believe you can run a sub woofer directly from the tv with out using some sort of sound system.

best bet is to connect the sound bar to a cable box or Blue ray..you don't want the source/feed from the TV anyway (The TV audio circuitry is usually terrible anyway) Sound bar gives you the option of playing music without having the TV on.

Use a digital cable to connect the soundbar to your TV - Bingo its works very well . No other cable or connection is required

This particular sound bar does not have a HDMI port. You can use the optical input or the A/V cables if your TV has them.

If your receiver can be connected to your TV via HDMI, and you set the receiver to output the audio to the TV, you could in theory run it like this and the sound would be output by the soundbar (when the soundbar is connected to the TV directly)

I didn't reply at first because I've been sick and busy with my biz. 'Sound Bar' threw me off too, I see some other replies that fit along with what I assumed you meant. Yes I have a center speaker under the tv. Of course the sizes of your TV and center speaker would be a factor in whether or not it would work. Generally it's a safe bet that most configurations would probably work.

Hi J., make sure that your TV is set to use the SoundBar and not TV speakers. -Vincent

Mrs. C.I am using it with a Panasonic 46" television. The sound bar is 40" wide by itself, so measure your available space in front of the TV. The bass unit can go on the floor or behind the TV. Dan Hart

We just have the tv on it. I am not sure of the sound bar. Did you try the peerless website?
