Does it come with an AV receiver to connect these speakers?? My TV does not have all the ports for 6 speakers

No, you need to have a 5.1 surround sound audio receiver. I run my cable, blu ray & Xbox One into receiver then an HDMI out to the TV. Make sure to disable TV's own speakers.

No - I use Yamaha HTR 4066 amp to connect the speakers and the amp connects to the TV and DVR

They were in mine. Mine worked well as a pa system (it has xlr inputs), but there are also rca that should allow you to hitch it up to your tv. You may want to just use an old stereo receiver. good luck

You DO NEED a reciever to deliver the signal to the individual hookups (R, L, center, surround ) They are passive speakers that connected via speaker wire.There is NO HDMI

Yes it does. No A/V receiver Amp is required. That is the whole idea of this.

They have to be hooked up to speaker terminals on an amplifier or receiver. Not sure that your TV has the power or connection to connect directly. I would connect the audio outputs to a receiver or if you are using HDMI to a receiver, just connect them to the receiver.

It does require a receiver. It has 7 speaker wire connectors. That said, the sound on it is amazing when paired with a good receiver.

Hello- Yes, you would need a home stereo receiver to work with this speaker system, you can not hook them directly to your tv. With the receiver, they should be louder, and much better sound quality, than what you get with your TV's built in speakers. Good luck-

Do yourself a favor and read the manufacturer product description posted on Amazon.com. I have these speakers connected to a 5.1 channel A/V receiver for a small room. These speakers are small and not very powerful sound-wise. I purchased a separate sub-woofer to up the bass. As the other customers have answered you still need more speakers specially for a 7.1 channel A/V receiver.

Ben, usually you cannot connect such speaker systems directly as the TVs do not have a 5.1 connectivity option. You may need a 5.1 receiver. Afaik all TVs only have digital or optical outlets that you may need to connect to your receiver.Hope that helps.

For this model, it's up to your required separate receiver/amp to handle the HDMI inputs. This model just basically takes place of the 7 surround speakers (it actually has connections for all 7 speakers) in the convenience of one single unit. Other soundbar models you see may have the amp and receiver features included; it depends on your needs and other equipment.

I had a similar set up and didn't need a receiver, however there are limited inputs on the sound bar and i bought a cheap input switch to make it work

Yes, you need an AV cable to connect your subwoofer to your receiver. An AV cable is the best way to go.

The DVD player is the receiver. Its not a full AV receiver like you may be expecting though...there are only a total of 4 inputs: 1 - Ipod dock 2 - front Aux in 3.5mm jack (for mp3 players or laptop or whatever you want with a headphone plug 3 - 1 analog Aux in (red/white RCA's) (notice: this is stereo only, will not do 5.1 digital surround) could be used for tape deck or older gaming system or something like that, with no surround sound 4 - 1 Optical input (the only digital input that will support true 5.1 surround sound) If you want true 5.1 surround from everything you can, here's how I'd do it: -Cable box &gt; TV using HDMI -PS3 or Blueray &gt; TV using HDMI -HD DVD &gt; TV using HDMI (if you don't have 3 HDMI inputs on your TV, try a digital coax for one of these) -TV &gt; Pany receiver using Optical cable

No, these speakers only use standard speaker wire connections. You would need to use the optical cable to a receiver and connect these speakers tot he receiver

You do need a receiver. I went with a Sony receiver. They are well priced and are good quality. These speakers not being wireless sort of ages this system now. Might want to keep that in mind. There are good all in one (receiver included) surround systems out there now. Do your homework.

No, u need an optical out from the TV to connect to the Sonos Sound Bar. Do not need a receiver .
