How does a surround sound system connect to TV? I see there is a stereo audio out. Is this the only way?

L/R analog rca jacks, optical (Toslink), or HDMI CRC (which does *not* work with my Yamaha receiver!)

I'm not aware of any solutions apart from utilizing the headphone out on your audio receiver. With a TV this nice you've got a sound system, right? ;-)

Your TV probably has audio outputs (depending on it's age). If so, they would plug in to the receiver's auxiliary inputs, then you could listen to your TV through your stereo system.

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.

You actually could, on most modern tv's there is an optical connection on the back. I actually do that with my headset, then you can use it for tv and movies if you please. If your tv dosen't then you could use a male to male red and white sound cable. You connect one end to your tv's sound out spot and into the back of the transmitter, but it wouldn't be surround sound. if you are to do that than you are spending extra money on a surround sound headset when you couldn't that features, but the headset might be able to simulate surround sounds; I don't know.

The TV Ears speaker does not provide surround sound. It provides stereo sound. I have my TV hooked up to a two-zone surround sound amplifier and speakers, and I hooked my TV Ears up to the second zone of the amplifier (stereo, not surround). That way I can hear the TV through both the surround sound speakers and the TV Ears speaker at the same time.

Most all-in-one 5.1 surround sound systems will be strictly analog, meaning they will only accept RCA audio input. Most current model TV's however have only HDMI or Digital Optical audio output (and in some cases a 3.5 mm headphone jack). If the TV has a headphone jack then a 3.5 mm to RCA cable can be used, otherwise you would indeed need to find a digital to analog audio converter. A work around may also be to use your cable or satellite boxes RCA audio outputs as this will at least get your regular TV audio passed through the system. You would then have to manually connect a DVD or other device when you want to use it or get a small RCA input selector box. Some of these 5.1 units accept 6 individual RCA inputs to offer true 5.1 separation as opposed to spreading a stereo field across 5 speakers, and those units work best with BluRay, DVD players, or PS units that have these tyoe of individualized audio outouts in them). I hope that helps!

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.

You connect it by using and hdmi cable (best option) or a optical audio cable from your TV. If you use and HDMI cable make sure your TV has an output labeled ARS, that means that it can accept audio both ways

Yes, just connect cables to the two RCA input jacks located on the back of the unit. Use a cable with a Y from a stereo jack to the audio output of your TV, as for a headphone output.On the unit, press the Source button repeatedly to enter Aux/Line Mode, indicated by a white light.Or use the remote to choose the Aux/Line input.

That's because your optical cable is running from the receiver to the television, not to the PS3. Anything playing on your television will play through all your surround speakers. You would have to run the optical cable directly from the receiver to the PS3 to get the sound strictly from the PS3.My setup is the same as yours.

the only audio output on some HDTVs is optical, such as my Viera X1, so the only way you will get any sound from your TV channels through your speakers (which your TV processes from the input from the wall) is from that optical output to your receiver unless you use a cable-box in which case you can just get it from a HDMI or optical cable from the cable-box to your receiver. The reason for this is the TVs, at least the ones I've setup, do not output audio through HDMI only through RCA or optical, and you'll only get digital audio from optical obviously so that's why the guide shows that. The optical cables are really cheap anyhow on Amazon so it shouldn't be a problem.

If you are using an HDMI cable from the TV output to the receiver you should have audio through the receiver. I assume that you have multiple inputs that are selected by the receiver and you have selected the input that is connected to the TV. I found that there are different audio configurations in the receiver that need to be selected also. The manual offers a lot of information but for me it's too difficult to understand. Try a different HDMI cable and/or input port to begin with.

There should be a stereo audio jack on the tv for headphones connection. Just use it for the cable to the speaker unit. If it doesn't have a speaker jack then there should be some female rca audio output jacks on the back of the tv. If it doesn't have either of these then the only solution would be to connect wires to the tv speakers and run them to rca female connectors.

First of all, you need an amplifier (or receiver) that connects TV and speaker. In this case, your TV is like a CD player.Buy a cheap receiver that have several connecting option including traditional stereo jack, optical. Of course you need to buy a optical cable.New TVs tend to have only optical.

Actually your tv can only give stereo out, so you would get better sound hooking the ps3 to the receiver via optical input and the tv to the receiver with composite.....

Don't have easy access to the back of mine so can't definately answer. Suggest you google the owner's manual for this model. Main question is why you would want audio to/from the tv. Connect your source input (cable/antenna/whatever) to the Denon and HDMI (or component) to the tv.
