If your TV has an audio out jack: analog, just hook it up to one of the Aux Ins on the receiver; digital, you need an adaptor I bought one at best buy brand name Dynex Direct part 3 might be 13C07A or maybe DX-SF110. You could probably find one on Amazon. Just be sure to see if the jack is analog or digital.

Hi J. Johnivan, yes you can using the AUX input. Remember, this does not have the digital audio input, so if your TV has analog audio out (red/white) connections this Sherwood will work just fine.

You can use RCA jacks to hook up to a tv, cd, aux. Even though its not surround sound, movies sound good though it!

It can be connected if the tv has composite audio outputs. Some older ones however, only have inputs in which case you can't. If that is your situation though, you can always connect the video (yellow) output from the dvd player to the video input of the tv while the audio outputs (red and white) go to to the audio receiver.

Yes you can - you can run the RC out from the TV to any input you want on the Sherwood. But remember, this stereo has no center channel, only stereo L/R, so there is no true 3.1 home theater functionality

Hello J, I returned this receiver after finding that it did not have a full range of 20,000hz to 20hz. I know this does not pertain exactly to your question, but Sherwood does have other receivers that do. If you go to the Sherwood website they have all of the spec's for all of their receivers. http://www.sherwoodusa.com/

My RCA Receiver from around 1996, was connected to an older JVC dual tape player, a disc player about the same age, and a fairly new Sony record turn table. It died and I bought the Sherwood Receiver last year. All these devices worked fine with the new Sherwood RX4109, receiver, in fact sounded better. I like it. CK

You can plug whatever you want into it and it works fine, but not quite as good as if you route through a receiver first. All depends on your application. In my case - I run the sound to it from my TV and it works great.

If you purchase the home kit it should hook right up using rca jacks in your unit... Hope that helps.

I'm running mine with a basic Sherwood receiver/amp I bought at Radio Shack for something like $100-200. Sounds great. There are 2 sets of speaker wire inputs on the back of this speaker, so you connect the right speaker wires to one set, and the left speaker wires to the other. I used to have a pair of speakers in my bathroom, but this sounds better. You don't miss the stereo separation you get with 2 speakers at all. In a bathroom having the L&R; channel coming from the same place actually is better, since you hear all the music equally everywhere in the room. I ran the wires to it via the attic and flush mounted it in the ceiling centered over my dual sinks.

I'm not at all familiar with that unit, but that doesn't stop me from having an opinion. It's a question of the antenna. Can you unplug the antenna wire (transmission line) from the TV? If so, then you have an antenna jack on the TV which can be used for plugging in a much larger antenna, instead. Plugging in anything from bookshelf-mounted rabbit ears to a rooftop-mounted antenna would be an improvement over the little antenna supplied with the little TV. But you're allowed to plug a bigger antenna into a little TV, if the little TV has an antenna jack. If you can unplug the little included antenna and have an antenna jack on the side of the TV, I would recommend bringing the TV into a Radio Shack, let the teenage salespeople there identify the jack on your TV, and see what they have to offer that will plug in there. Even your little antenna may perform better if you park it against a window -- more radio waves get through the glass windows than through the walls, so the signals are a little stronger against the windows. Try a window on each compass point of your house. Signals are also stronger upstairs (if you have one), and it couldn't hurt to experiment with bringing the TV outside where there are even fewer walls to block the TV signals. The AV In jack would be (for instance) for playing a DVD player through the little TV. The AV Out jack would be for hooking up a bigger TV to play what's on your little TV screen. In either case, neither of those are what you need for receiving more TV channels. What you need is an improved antenna situation. Another strategy for getting more TV stations is to move closer to the inner city, where the broadcast towers are located. TV reception is challenging out in the country. Peace, -Neil-

It is designed to convert the RCA to VGA only. It did not work for me at all, but it is supposed to only go one way (RCA -&gt; VGA). I would look for an active adapter for your needs.

You will need an amplifier or A/v reciever. Tv output is not sufficient It does not decode the sound so it wont work

No! Trust me! That is why I wrote what I did, this is going backwards in time... This goes from RCA in to Coax out, so you are taking a more modern device and putting it on a very old TV or whatever. What you want they have, keep looking, but this isn't it... In other words, you could actually put a dvd player on a TV from the 1970's (providing you split the 75ohm to 300ohm) If you aren't old enough this may not make any sense.

You need a receiver to push the amps through it. It demands a lot. TVs don't have much.

think about what you are talking about for a moment. Your t.v. uses a coax cable hook up. You can plug the USB part of this device into the t.v. if your t.v. has a USB port but you will still be using the coax cable to access the tuner and the tuner that will be accessed is the tuner in the device you are thinking of buying. You probably will not get as many stations if you use the tuner that this device is equipped with; you will probably get more stations using your t.v.'s own tuner. Besides that the one that I got the package was okay but the device inside was broken; totally. If you do buy it; it was meant for the computer as a video capture device.

It hooks up very easily to the AV cables, or to the Audio (head phone jack) on TV, or receiver. My Wife's Aunt loves it, and was concerned that she wouldn't be able to connect it. It's great, and charges, if desired, from the base. The receiver should have a headphone/AV jack to connect to. You won't be disappointed, and can always return it. Just another thought, this item is discontinued by the manufactured, so any fixes are DIY or after market. Good Luck!

You can connect it to the RCA (red/white) on the back of your TV (cable is supplied).

Only you can answer that question. I purchased and used my receiver in a motorhome. The area we were in uses cable TV connections that were very snowy and had lot's of broken signals. I placed the RCA in the front windshield, ran an auto-scan and loaded channels. Of the 21 channels only two were less than very good signal. Different area's will give you different results.

Yes, you can. There is an audio in jack on the front panel. You will just need to get a cable that is mini-jack to rca.
