How do you connect the STRDH130 to a TV and the speakers? We have a year-old 55-inch Samsung and know it will be in stereo.

Look for audio Left and Right channel outputs (red and white) on the back of the TV, if it has them. Some TVs only have inputs like this (not outputs - out will be clearly labelled if you have them), which won't help. If your TV has these outputs, you can connect them to any input on the back of your Sony receiver. However, even then it may not provide sound for sources connected to the TV (Sat, Cable, Disc) which are connected to your TV using HDMI cables. You could try using a headphone output on the TV plugged into the 3.5mm mini-jack on the back of the Sony, which would work with all sources connected to the TV. To try this just order a stereo connection cable with male 3.5mm plugs on each end. You'd have to turn the volume up some on both the TV and Sony receiver until you find the volume setting that gives you enough range to then control with the Sony remote. Another way would be to use RCA out jacks from the Source device itself, whether that is a cable/sat box or disc player. Then you have to switch audio separately from video on the TV, which can be confusing for some. The underlying issue here is that stereo receivers lack HDMI connections, which combine sound and picture with one cable.

I, too, have a 6-month-old Samsung 55", and have connected the TV to my stereo amp using a male earphone jack (3.5) to male RCA Jack cable. There is an audio-out earphone jack on the back of the TV.

If you are using a cable box it may have audio outputs you can use. I have my Samsung (with a cable box from Cox) set up this way and it sounds great.

Thanks very much for your question. The headphones you inquire about will not connect to most TVs unless there is a specific headphone jack. For TV you should look at the Sennheiser RS120 or RS 160 system. World Wide Stereo is a 35 years old dealer.

No, you can not connect these speakers directly to your HDTV, unless your TV has speakers connectors, which I have not seen one thus far. The do not come with any wirings/cords. If you want a 5.1 Surround sound or bigger speakers than your TV, then you will need the following. RCA Wirings to connect the TV sound outputs into a Receiver, which you need to buy [if you do not have one]. Then buy good speaker wires/cords to connect the Receiver connect to these speakers. The samples in the Internet seemed to be missing the Receiver. They only show the TV and the speakers, which is misleading to some who is not familiar to sound system set ups.

From what I can tell,it'll only work in stereo.I googled a pic of the television and I saw no surround sound input jacks.I could be wrong though....

Unless the TV has external speaker drivers (unlikely), you'll need an amplifier hooked up to a TV sound output (which is the way mine are hooked up to a TV).

Kenneth Osherow,The design of this system is that it's a low-profile amp+speakers all-in-one system that delivers great sound from a small footprint. So the Amp is built-in, and it would connect directly to your analog 3.5mm/RCA or optical (digital) TV audio output.Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

A quick visit to the Audioengine web site (hint!) shows (since I'm at work and cannot look at the back of my speakers at home...) that the system has two input modes: the four RCA (+/-, LR) connectors, and a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack. However, if your TV has only digital outputs available (which would seem odd, to me), some kind of converter would be required, I should think.

For the best sound, hook it up through the headphone jack of your Tv. if it has one. If not, hook it up through the sound in and out jacks.

Sandra,How is it connected?Have you gone into your TV's menu to switch the audio to "external speakers"?Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

oh yes, you have to purchase a stereo rca with audio/video conections and plug it to a stereo y splitter and connect it to the pc in! Best to have a hi def tv! Excellent stereo sound! I watch netflix in stereo!

I connected my Yamaha speaker to an Onkyo receiver (surround sound amplifier), via speaker wires with no "connections", i.e., wires to screw receptacles on both the speaker and receiver. As to directly to a TV, you will need a receiver to amplify the sound from the TV to the speaker. At least as far as I know.

I have the exact same question. My approach is that you need line level converter to convert the speaker level wires for the sub into RCA line outs. Then purchase a powered sub. Make sure the new sub has a crossover as I'm not sure where the crossover is set for the sub out of the Samsung unit.

Safraz, This model does not have an audio output, so connecting your audio bar directly to your cable/sat box or other source device would be recommended. Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions. --Mr. S

I got this to do the same and it appears that it did not work for ME going from my 2012 Mitsubishi 92" DLP 3D R.P big-screen Digital Coaxial to RCA (Red,White output ) inputing it to my new Samsung Home Theater system 3D-Blue-ray and I still got no sound.... My next try is the Digital coaxial converter to Optical input on the Home Theater, I hope this helps you. I wish us both luck.. Greg

most older TV's only have audio out... not in. a small I pod speaker will do the trick or hook into aux in on a stereo

Just be careful, some TVs don't have RCA outputs or headphone jacks. Then you need a digital to analogue converter (i think that would work, I am working on this problem myself.) Or I believe you can hook it straight to a cable box to avoid all that (with RCA cables.)

I just received this TV. There is one connection on the back that will accept a headphone connection, but it is for PC input, so you won't be getting anything out of it. So far I've found two options for using headphones, and they both need an adapter such as Cables To Go 03182 - 3.5mm Stereo Female to RCA Male Y-Cable (Discontinued by Manufacturer)1. Hook to the TV and change the speakers option to "audio system" instead of "TV speakers." Even with the volume maxed, the output wasn't very loud in my headphones.2. Hook to my DirecTV box, which gives me louder output with no way to control it. I just received this TV.
