Can these connect directly to av output on back of tv?

No. They require an amplified signal. The output from a tv is unpowered. You can however, run the output from your tv into an amplifier input, that has matching output wattage to the speakers you want to use.

I'm not totally sure. We used them with an amp setup. You might want to contact the manufacture. They were very helpful when I had a few questions.

No. The VCA8 speaker is not powered. For this arrangement to work the A/V output of the TV would need to be routed to an external amplifier, receiver, or mixer/amp. Then, the power amp will amplify the signal and send it to the VCA8 speaker.

You need a receiver or amplifier. Use the HDMI or Digital out or Optical out from TV to a receiver/amp and then hook up the speakers to the amp. Directly from TV, it won't work.

Depends on the output of the tv if it has audio out ups the answere is yes. If they are tied to the tv volumn control you probably won't be happy. It should have independent audio out most likely RCA plugs

Well I am not sure...I guess you could if your tv has the same connections that these speakers have. They connect using a USB poet and a small plug like you would have on a ear bud connection....hope this helps

I've connected mine using the RCA Audio Out connections, normally used for external speakers, on the back of my TV. I did have to use a RCA to 3mm adapter that I purchased at Radio Shack.

you may be able to hook up the audio portion of the output and then feed the video directly to the TV. haven't tried it but it may work...

I ran these from the audio out on my DVD player to the TV. Then ran regular audio cables from these to my stereo receiver which I have my external speakers hooked up to. Now I can play a CD in DVD player and bypass the TV all together. Would have to see the back of your TV.

You should be able to connect the s-video and the audio-L and audio-R to your TV. Good luck.

They can be hooked up to anything that outputs via standard 2-strand speaker wire (+/-) - if your TV has those sorts of outputs, or you're planning on driving them with some sort of amp then, yes.

Hi, did this work? I have a set of surround computer speakers, with a headphone jack style output. Looking for a cable to plug them into my TV?

Yes they can, thats the idea behind HDMI,both audio and video in one cable to your HDTV,olus the passage of Lossless codecs to your 7.1 receiver if need-be.

they can be connected to any source that has the red and white RCA style jacks for an output. if you need to you can purchase adapters and cables to connect these to any line level output. they will only work on a source that is not already amplified. if you plan on connecting them to an amplifier or the speakers on the televisions then I would not suggest doing that. otherwise, yes these may work for your application.

Yes - you can hook them up using an XLR cable. You'll need an XLR cable that is male on one side and female on the other. On the back of the speakers there is an "input" and "output" XLR jack. Whichever speaker has your original input (microphone, sound input, etc.) will carry that sound over (using the output XLR jack) over to the "input" XLR jack of the 2nd speaker.

You can, but not through an HDMI cable. I had to get these to make it work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C4WPXA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00016W75E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Once I did, it worked like a dream.

Yes. I bought this in order to have surround sound for a media player (in my case, a projector) that did not have audio outputs. This let me convert HDMI to AV without any issue. Then I was able to route the AV cable to an amplifier.

I guess They only can be plugged on the blue ray device. I've never tried doing so directly to the TV set.

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.
