You will need a receiver to power these speakers. Just about any av receiver will work. Mine are powered by an old onkyo 605. There is not a remote with these. It's just the speakers.

Hi. I don't know if is too late for this answer, but you need a receiver and speaker sound are incredible.

These are designed to be used with a surround sound receiver/amplifier. The sub-woofer has a built in amplifier, but only for powering the sub-woofer. You will need to wire satellite speakers with standard speaker wire (I used 14AWG). The input for the sub-woofer is a single RCA connector, I would recommend a double shielded coax with RCA connectors in order to keep out interference from power sources. Most TVs have 2x <=10W stereo output for a pair of speakers, this will not work for this system. BA recommends a 10-100W per channel amplifier(receiver) with sub-woofer out for these speakers.

Dear Joseph,Thanks for your inquiry. This speaker package needs to connect to a receiver for the speakers to receive sound. Of course, the receiver would then have a remote control. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

Hi Sam, Sorry but please don't waste you time and money on these. They are a cheep knockoff with horrible sound. I ended up throwing mine away almost immediately. I woud up going to the Samsung web site to order some original replacements that I'm very happy with. Hope this helps.

Anyone know where I can get a remote for the sound bar. I looked online and they are $80! Is there a universal one? Know where and what brand? Thank u

No. However the device supports another Samsung Wireless system. You will have to buy the wireless system separately. Once installed the wireless system on the device the rear speakers can be used without running wires from the main device.

The remote for the Coby does not affect the TV speakers. I disconneted the RCA sound cables running from my ATT UVERSE box to the back of the TV and connected them directly into the Coby. The volume control for the soundbar does not have any affect on the TV. I used the TV remote to turn the TV speakers down to 0. I believe the Coby came with cables but they are very cheap anyway. I have many laying around from old games/VCRs/DVD players/etc.

I hadn't yet heard mine, and your question got me curious, so I got mine working (had to go into the monitor's menu and switch the sound input to HDMI first in case anyone else runs into this issue) . They are a nice addition for an office worker who just needs basic sound, but I wouldn't recommend playing music on these, as they don't have the bass, depth or richness of sound needed to enjoy music. I am still using my 10+ year old Altec Lansing computer speakers, and they still sound awesome. I see that you can buy a new set on Amazon with a sub-woofer for about $60 (Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane 7, 2.1 Computer Speaker), and I would definitely recommend a pair like this to compliment this "gorgeous" monitor! I am still SO happy with this monitor, and I hope NEC continues to make it, as I will stick with them for life if so. The picture is awesome, and I LOVE the semi-gloss! Ok....I'll stop about the monitor now, hehe. :-D

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.

Dear Billy: Ok, these M1s come with the USB cable, power adaptor, and interconnectfor the left/right speakers and that's it. You do have RCA inputs on back, one pair,plus one pair of line-levels, and one 1/8" input, but they don't come with separate RCA cables, those you would have to supply yourself, easily obtained online or Radio Shack or whatever. But yeah, it comes with your basic USB cable and it's an absurdly easy setup for basic usage. These speakers are phenomenalas far as I'm concerned, they're definitely a lot better quality and sounding thanI was even expecting them to be.

No it is not wireless and the wires they provided are pretty short, so actually your surround sound rear speakers are pretty close to the front speakers at its maximum extension. Further my base speakers went out about a year after I purchased the unit and I really did not use it that often enough to justify the money paid for it. I contacted the manufacturers for replacement of the base speaker as everything connects to the base speaker and their reply is for me to pay for a whole complete set and use the satellite speakers for replacement. So they are just junk lying around in my study and I do not propose to buy from this company again.

the question should be how good is the sound on your large tv. i have a samsung 60 smart tv with very good sound. the jbl sound bar provides compatible excellent stereo/surround sound..great for concerts, movies etc. a great bass also. only negative- the remote sucks!

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!

Yes this system comes with a remote , It sounds great and the bass is boomen, The only down side to this surround sound system is that the two surround speakers only have an 8' wire so its not much for real surround .... Personally I just picked up two 15' peices of normal speaker wire and spliced it to the speaker wires now I have 23' of wire so I could get the speakers behind me for the real surround sound experiance ..........I hope this helps everybody out , I mean you cant go wrong for the price and the quality you cant even compare it .. ENJOY...... Joey from VERMONT

This item is just speakers (also comes with wires). You will actually need a receiver to hook them up to in order to make them work. A DVD player will also be needed if you want to watch movies using these speakers. More importantly though (and mandatory) is the receiver (any brand will do). A home theater system would also work in place of a receiver, but most of those come with speakers.

I'm annoyed by the answers the other users left. It all depends on the brand and options of your TV. I had a Samsung that would not allow you to control the volume of external speakers through the TV's volume control. Now I have a Sony that allows me to do this seamlessly. The Sony has an option in the sound settings that allows you to do this. It's possible on a higher end Samsung that this option is present but on mine there was not.

Hi Toni,Thanks for the question. With these Outdoor Wireless Speakers, they do require a Bluetooth signal to operate. Yet there are bluetooth transmitters that can be attached to your receiver that could send the signal to these speakers. Contact AV-Express for more information.

Sorry for the delay, you'd have to check your TV User Guide to be sure... but I do believe the Smart TV's offer wireless control to the sound bar; thus, provide access to sound control without any hassle. I do not have a Smart TV, so I had to use a Harmony remote...

Unfortunately, they are not wireless. . .at least the pair I had were not wireless. And again, I really wasn't all that impressed with the sound quality. I really have heard better speakers - albeit mono, but with good quality sound.
