How will this sound bar work with my TV?

I think this sound bar is mostly used with a computer (desktop or laptop). I suppose, if your TV accepts an audio out (like a headphone jack) and has an HDMI jack (for power), it could be used on a TV. However, it's sound wouldn't be very loud if you're more then 4 or 5 feet away from the TV. And I'm sure it's quality isn't anywhere near the longer more expensive sound bars.

This will work assuming you are using the RCA end as output from the TV. The 3.5 mm end would attach to the sound bar- but you may need a male-male 3.5 mm cable to connect sound bar input to the 3.5 mm female end of the RCA cable. Clear?

It connects with an optical cable. Any TV or AV receiver with an optical output can use the soundbar.

IF you have a satelite or cable box, you hook up to that. If the sound bar is blue tooth only them you have to have a blue tooth ready TV or some kind of adapter. Of you have any type of wire hookup you can always find an adapter so you can hook up to some other kind of wire.

I have an LG and was unable to connect this sound bar to my TV and have it function with the cable. It's all in what you have for inputs. You need analog or coaxial inputs, kind of old school, I think. It has no hdmi or other outputs except the traditional red, black and yellow plugs. My system was already using these for my cable and after consulting with their customer service I was told it wouldn't function with my T.V.

This is not a sound bar like you see elsewhere. This is for an amplifier. I'd just search for a nice sound bar that can usually be hooked into the output of your TV.

That'll work. What I did since I have multiple things connected to my tv (gaming system, satellite, blue ray player), I have all these things connected to my tv via HDMI cable with the tv connected to the soundbar via optical cable; I get to utilize the soundbar for all my connections this way.

It depends if your tv supports direct connection of speakers. This speaker connects the same way most good speakers connect to your stereo with push or screw terminals. If your tv only has RCA terminals then you will need to get some kind of amplifier to connect the sound bar to. That being said, adding this device (center channel) to your system really helps hearing dialog.

I don't think this was designed to work with TV's but rather portable "Bluetooth" devices. If you are looking to attach an external speaker to your TV you should look into purchasing a Sound Bar. Amazon sells many varieties on their website.

Hello B.E. Murphy,This surround sound bar plays through your television's audio output so anything you play on your TV will be heard in the surround sound including blu-ray players and gaming consoles. Thanks for your interest!

Ok, guys I'm old and new to this stuff, so be pateint... How does a sound bar work. Is it hooked to the TV and instead of the sound coming from the TV it comes out of the sound bar and I'm assuming the sound is much better. Can you contol the sound volume with a Directv remote or the TV remote. Thanks in advance... Mike

You must convert the output signal from your TV audio, which is a digital signal over a coaxial cable type to an optical signal with a Toslink cable. The input into the sound bar will only receive an optical signal using the type of cable fitting dedicated for optical signals. I used this exact same converter on my TV and it worked perfectly. It's been installed for nearly a year and has performed flawlessly.

Most sound bars support either optical audio or HDMI for best quality configuration. It may be unclear which will provide the best sound. Both optical audio and HDMI support multi-channel audio, like Dolby Digital, but HDMI is capable of transmitting slightly higher quality than optical. In any case, the easiest is to connect either optical audio or HDMI from your TV to sound bar. In summary, always connect the driver output source devices (e.g TV, DVD, Media player, etc.) into the sound bar via optical audio or HDMI (if supported). Avoid the analog connection like RCA cable.

I do not know the answer to that. I do know the sound on board is not very good. So I see why you want a sound bar.

The tv needs to have an optical out and the sound bar has the optical in, that'll send the sound thru the tv to the sound bar. If your not getting any sound from the sound bar it's probably in the wrong port.

If your tv has the side RCA pug ins like most tv's you can get it to work. I own one of these sound bars if I had it to do over I would spend a little more and get a better sound bar.

I use my sound bar with my computer so I don't know for sure if it will work with a TV. Befor I purchased my unit I asked, as you are how it would work with a TV andwas told not too good. It does have a good amount of volume but will probably not be the best with music.
