In fact I've used a decent set of computer speakers on one of my newer TV and it worked very well.

Hi Spraygun, using this Sony SS-CR3000, you will will be needing an amplifier or a receiver to make it a complete package. -Ely

This is not a sound bar like you see elsewhere. This is for an amplifier. I'd just search for a nice sound bar that can usually be hooked into the output of your TV.

I plugged the included "adapter" into the back of my HDTV then plugged in the cables from the equipment to the adapter, and the BlueRay and cable TV work automatically when I turn on the sound bar/sub-woofer.I hope that helps. If you have a manual, it is pretty good. No manual? Google it and I bet you'll find it.

Aloha Allie, thank you for your answer. I am convinced our sound bar is kaput so we will purchase a new one. As we say in Hawaii, Mahalo and thanks. roger

Hey Tracey I believe it's a matter of compatible with your television but once you have the appropriate jacks, or your tv has the appropriate connections you should be just fine and would be enjoying the quality I am receiving...

Does this mean that the speakers on teh TV will still be able to play audio?And that the audio from the DVD needs to get to the Onkyo via optical?So you can use the TV for center speaker, and the rest of the speakers for the soundstage? Sounds good! And also allows the system to remain simple to use (for the wife) without the Onkyo, but can easily become a ciname system at the press of a power button? Wow!

I just bought this system. I haven't tested it yet but the way I have setup is this:PS3 to HDTV via HDMITV to Receiver via Optical InputThis way my I can use Inputs on my TV (it has a lot more inputs than this receiver.) and I get the quality sound. Good luck

What do you suggest to improve the sound? I just ordered the TV - don't want to raise the roof or anything but don't want the sound to not match the picture. Thanks.

All you need for this system to work is a power outlet and RCA outlet jacks on th tv set. I have mine plugged into the headphone jack of the tv and it works fine. Actually a better system than I was expecting for the money.

Its an OK system I bought it as a gift for my parents because their speakers where out on their TV set. That being said it works for them but I will just warn that it is not a new high tech system, the wires are not what I would consider speaker grade and short, And if you have a new TV it may or may not have the right wires for you. For my personal TV I bought a Visio sound bar with subwoofer for about $200 2 years ago and still love it today!

I have the same issue. This was not made for a TV setup the way its advertised. You will need the separate receiver and speakers for optimal results.

If it has the standard red and white tv audio outputs it should hook up fine. Just make sure that if you are wanting to spread this system all around like a surround sound that you should pick up extra speaker wires.

Yes!! This system is VERY NICE for the money and the sound in my opinion is up there with the top contenders. I have this system set up to a 50 inch wall mount Samsung smart TV AND a 105 inch electric screen ceiling mounted projection system. The sound is incredible!!

I'm gonna say no. Just plug everything into your TV then use an optical cable to connect the tv to the soundbar. All sounds should play though the soundbar.

Yes the sound is great... whatever your listening to movies, games, or Pandora radio. You will hear sounds that would have missed listening from your TV speakers. You will get great sound for the money. I recommend this product!

Not ours. There are cables that plug into the back of the sound box from our DISH satellite, but the sound bar has a separate power remote and also a power button on top of it (in case you cannot find the remote)

Yes, easy out of the box, hook to your cable. Just be prepared that the sound -- as all flat screens -- will be tinny. I want to buy an added speaker for it, but not sure how to hook that up.

Yes I did successfully using the cables the speakers come with. You may have to do some adjusting in settings on your TV though.
