can this be hooked straight to the tv or do you have to have a reciever?

You need a receiver. The subwoofer is passive so it does not require an amp. I returned mine however as the sound was poor

Yes you just have to set the reciever display input to USB and it will play anything that hooks up and sends an audio signal through a USB cord.

This is not a tv tunner/receiver, this is a micro computer, the included hdmi cable is used to plug the raspberry to a monitor in order to work with the graphical interface, so technically, you don't get any channel, and no, it can't be hooked to a cable company. If you want to use it play multimedia, you can do it from a usb drive or playing on line media. Cheers :)

The receiver (TV side) does not need USB connection for data, but needs powered via something, be it a wall connection or a USB. The transmitter needs a USB port to supply power with the supplied cable. You do not need to be line of sight for it to work. We actually put the receiver in a closet and were able to transmit to it over 30 feet away through 2 drywall and wood stud walls. I hope this helps.

Not directly.... It have to be conected to a amplifier ( home theatre mostly )

You should be able to hook up a TV using the 'AUX' input. Note the Aux input on the receiver side is a 1/8" stereo headphone style cable, so the appropriate cable would be needed. Also the receiver runs on household current.

Hi it will work you can plug into the AV cable ( the red and white one) into your tv, and you don't need a reciver

The receiver does handle audio from HDMI sources. There is no need for optical or coaxial digital connections to get audio from HDMI sources.

Connect the cable box straight to the tv and use an optical cable or audio cable to the recevier from the cable box

I connected to a receiver which is run to the TV. Also had to buy a center speaker and woofer to complete the surround sound system.

Joann, the receiving unit must be plugged into your TV using the two audio and one video jacks (red and white for audio and yellow for video). If your "standard tv" only has the coax input (the one used to screw in the cable or antenna wire) then this will not work without also purchasing a converter. If your TV has the red, white and yellow input jacks, this will work.

You don't need a receiver with this unit! It's self-amplified. Just plug it in to your TV via HDMI.Plug your other components in to the TV as well. At worst, you'll need to run a pair of RCA audio cables from the TV back to the audio input of the Sound Bar.Hope this helps

We took the receiver out and hooked it up to our TV. It will hook directly to an audio source. Not sure about plugging it into a DVD player, but will plug in to the television the DVD is connected to.

The answer to the question is YES, however, there's no need to connect to a receiver since it has a built-in amplifier.I can't see the rationale. The component/TV output can be used to connect to a receiver (The Yellow will be the Video signal), but have in mind that the output already comes out with power, you may have distorted sound, no sound, and you can even damage your receiver since it is not designed that way.Hope you find this information helpful and feel free to ask me in the future if I can be of any assistance. Enjoy your new unit!!!

I have this in a room where I have no cable box. It is in the basement. I didn't want to pay for another receiver. You will need a remote for it or use one from another TV. It works great. You do have to watch whatever is on the TV it is connected to but you can change the channels from there.

That Sherwould Receiver has no Preouts. You can not hook it up to a sound bar. Sound bars are made to hook up directy to your TV useualy with the Optical out of the TV.
