I have a headphone jack on my TV because it is smaller (20") and it works with that set up however I have not tried it on anything bigger. I have a Vizio LED.

I have this connected to a LG LED and it works great. Make sure you have the Audio sound turned off, and the SRS TruSurround XT to "ON" so the external speaker will work. Also, make sure you have the TV set to the right "input" as this is an external connection. I hope this helps!

what you need to do is get a RCA to headphone jack if your TV have headphone jack. or a optical to audio converter if not the sound will not come out.

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.

I had to plug in my sound bar to the HEADPHONE jack of the TV. Try that and see if it doesn"t work for you too.

no because i have it connected to samsung hdtv downstairs in the mini-headphone jack one of them and have two more connected on each side so i can connect to multiple devices that can use the headphone to rca red & white adaptor.if you hear the sound from two devices don't sound right maybe the belkin splitter are defective because i happened to me with other cheap brands i bought.i'm planing to upgrade to devices that use digital optical out that my samsung tv's have i just hope some invented splitters for that kind of output.did you try the belkin five way splitter becuase i'm using it for samsung hdtv upstairs an it sounds like its working fine. no because i have it connected to samsung hdtv downstairs in the mini-headphone jack one of them and have two more connected on each side so i can connect to multiple devices that can use the headphone to rca red & white adaptor.if you hear the sound from two devices don't sound right maybe the belkin splitter are defective because i happened to me with other cheap brands i bought.i'm planing to upgrade to devices that use digital optical out that my samsung tv's have i just hope some invented splitters for that kind of output.did you try the belkin five... » Read More no because i have it connected to samsung hdtv downstairs in the mini-headphone jack one of them and have two more connected on each side so i can connect to multiple devices that can use the headphone to rca red & white adaptor.if you hear the sound from two devices don't sound right maybe the belkin splitter are defective because i happened to me with other cheap brands i bought.i'm planing to upgrade to devices that use digital optical out that my samsung tv's have i just hope some invented splitters for that kind of output.did you try the belkin five way splitter becuase i'm using it for samsung hdtv upstairs an it sounds like its working fine. « Show Less

I don't believe so, at least I haven't gotten it to work with my TV. But I have a good sound system for my computer, and since they are both in the same room, I'm fine with it, since all I have for my TV is the stock built-in speakers. This might be a different story if you had a home entertainment system for your TV??

Nooo, these device does not output audio to TV, It's the TV that sends out the audio either through its built-in speakers or through external speakers connected through mixer or home theater devices. If you can't increase volume on the tv, it has nothing to do with this device. Audio is great on anything hdmi this device is connected to. I just bought a second one for my freind and she loves it more than I do because she has better amp hook up than I do. It feels like we are at the movies when we watch movies at her place. That's not this device doing all that audio amplification, but her sophisticated audio set up that makes it feel like a movie theater. Check your Audio hookups!

I'm afraid I am also stumped getting a signal to the TV. Currently I'm settling for VGA and audio to the high definition TV. The definition on more recent videos is quite good with this hookup. From the information from my graphics card coupled with the TV manual, the hookup is not simple. Sorry.

I just hooked up my TV. It is LED. I'm a big fan of LG TVs because of their picture quality (I own 3). I stopped using Samsung because their products never seemed to last very long.

I wanted to do the same. bought the headphones because I misunderstood this answer. called tech help. you can't do this if you have a newer model digital TV like I do. there is no audio output on the TV and my TV receiver system is wireless which also doesn't have an audio out. so I have to plug the receiver into my TV headphone outlet which means there is no sound other than what is coming from the headphone. so every time I watch the TV with my husband in bed and he falls asleep, I must get out of bed and plug in my headphones. (My TV has a DIGITAL audio out (USB port) which is NOT compatible with this headphone). also the cable is too short to put the receiver on my nightstand (need to purchase an extension)(still have to get in/out of bed to plug/unplug the audio cable) true in the morning too if you both want to wake up and both watch TV in the morning in bed

Yes and no. We have a sound system but it is not connected to the TV. The headphones are the type that allow a person to listen to the TV without the sound disturbing another person. He was using them when he got up earlier than me. It appears that the makers of headphones are producing only analog ones; the Radio Shack guy was going to show me digital headphones, but they turned out to be analog connect also. The products that I have been able to find seem to start at $60+; I wouldn't mind the price if I could be sure that the product would work with our set. Thanks for your input.

You may have to change the setting on your tv to use the external speaker. Mine sounds great.

I had the same problem. You can make it work and keep the sound on the speakers if you use either the optical output or the digital output from your TV or receiver. Neither will probably work initially when you hook it up to the TV link. The key is that you will have to go to each source box (directTV box, playstation, cable box, etc.) and edit the settings and change the audio output from Dolby Digital to PCM. Once you do that, the TV link will work great, and you can still have sound from the speakers at the same time.

Make sure you follow the instructtions to the dot. If you are unable to receive the TV audio the you are out of luck. I had similiar issues with three different types. Even with TV ears. Test them by plugging them into something else.

I have the sound coming form the TV so it works fine with any kind of media channeled through the TV input. Sound is fantastic, hope that helps

I don't have mine hooked up to a Smart TV. I did not have the regular connection on my TV as most did, very limited including no option for RCA. I had mine hooked up from my Television Audio Out, headphone jack to RCA Jack input on the unit. You have to kind of look around for how you want to connect it to your TV First. This is not made for modern Televisions unless you do your homework and procure the correct wires ahead of time. Mine was solved with a trip to Radio Shack.

to me sound is no worse than other tv"s. i just wonder how you get a sound bar to work with this tv?

I also had problems with the digital audio connection. I was never able to get any sound out of that output. I read in other forums that only TV audio will come out from that connection and it won't work to pass through audio from other sources (hdmi). Ultimately, I had to connect my devices' audio directly to my home theatre system. This work-around was not ideal, but got the job done. Just a little more hassle to change a/v sources since I have to change both the TV and the home theatre receiver.

Sound is typical for thin LED-LCD, which IMO is pretty bad. You want to hook up external speakers, but can only use the digital coaxial or headphone jack, as there is no digital optical. I thought the picture quality was very good, but mine had a faulty panel. Someone else got a faulty panel too if you read the reviews. Just know that if you order one, you may end up having to exchange it. I ended up ordering a Panasonic, and the first one was perfect. Not need to return it.
