Has anyone hooked this up to a TV? I have an LED tv that doesn't have very good sound and I bought this system and I hooked it up just like the instructions said, however it doesn't work. I will work with my tablet and phone?

if your tv has a headphone jack then you need one to go from headphone to rca. that is what i use. if your tv has rca out on the back then you just need rca jacks. the short answer is yes.

They work beautifully with TVs. Ours is plugged in to the earphone jack, on quite an old set. I imagine you would use the aux. speaker jack on newer models.

I purchased the TV to use in our kitchen but wasn't ablt to get it to work at all -- no stations came through. I even tried connecting it up to another antenna but that didn't work either (the antenna that comes with the unit is small and rather flimsy). I ended up returning the unit to Amazon as I was so disappointed with it. In my opinion, it needs to be connected to a cable system/ernal extenna to work properly. I hope this help!

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 have the same question. It says for TV so why can't you hear the tv through the Bluetooth speaker? Not tech savie so what do you mean a speaker and dongle that supports it? Isn't there one that works with any Bluetooth speaker and what would that be? Make it more simple to understand . Thanks

It's a speaker system. It can play well with any device that has a sound output. So if your tv has an analog audio output (headphone or RCA jacks) this will work with it. (You may just need an adapter depending on connection type. )

I have one on my LG LED TV that I bought two years ago, and it works fine. Do you ever shop at Crutchfield for TVs, etc.? If so, ask your question of them -- their people have a wealth of electronic knowledge. ...Steve on Jekyll Island

do you have it set up through your cable or dish? i don't and it works just fine. i didn't want to go through all the re-connecting because ia can never get it the same. i just put it through the game poet on the side of my tv.

I have been trying to get this to work for awhile and have been unsuccessful. I bought the $40 VGA cable and hooked it up to the TV with a seperate audio cable (headphone jacks) and put the external monitor setting on the PC and I still cannot change the source to PC on the TV. It claims that the source options will only become available when those inputs are hooked up to something......well I am definetely hooked up to my computer and the TV is not taking a signal????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone tried hooking up a laptop? I tried it hooked up to the PC input on my Bravia TV and get NO (ok, very little) volume. It's been suggested that a setting on my laptop needs to be changed. I need to watch streaming video for work. Anyone have ideas?

I had a computer man hook up my pc to the TV. It works great. I had him do it as I am the worst electronic person in the galaxy. I wish I could help you more. I am not sure about laptop.

No, I don't know if it was just my tablet but it didn't work on my TV. I did not bother trying it on a different TV.

Thanks everyone for you help! I bought the TV last week and received it on Thur. What a great TV!!! I found and purchased the RCA-to-3.5mm adapter and it worked great. Only problem was the lack of volume control as William stated. I then purchased an audio extender cable that has a volume control built into it. Everything works beautifully!Thanks Jerry for the idea of the Wireless Headphones. I'm going to look into it as a future purchase.Thanks again!!

You should be able to plug in a pair of headphones into the TV and be able to hear fine. If plugged in all the way, there should be no "noise" coming out of the Television itself. We currently have normal speakers plugged into ours and no sound comes out of the TV speakers, only the speakers plugged in.

Do nothing,... it will work fine with your TV ...It is an optional input, and is not necessary for use with a TV...
