Thanks for your question. You will need a receiver for these. It is a wonderful sounding speaker system.

Yes you do! The subwoofer is pre-amplified, but the satellite speakers are not. They whole setup sound very well for its size!

It hooks up very easily to the AV cables, or to the Audio (head phone jack) on TV, or receiver. My Wife's Aunt loves it, and was concerned that she wouldn't be able to connect it. It's great, and charges, if desired, from the base. The receiver should have a headphone/AV jack to connect to. You won't be disappointed, and can always return it. Just another thought, this item is discontinued by the manufactured, so any fixes are DIY or after market. Good Luck!

Not this one. Others on Amazon do though. They are probably more expensive though, but unless if you already have a receiver this one will be worthless.

Make sure to go through the list of sellers. Not every seller includes the receiver. The one I bought did not include one, though I already had one from my now busted Wavebird.

Only if you are near AC power. If you aren't near AC power, you need to get the model that has a battery powered receiver.

It does require a receiver. It has 7 speaker wire connectors. That said, the sound on it is amazing when paired with a good receiver.

What I was told from directv is to get reciever ID first before purchase and check reciever Id with directv. They will tell you if that recieve can be activated.

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

No, nothing else is needed as it is a receiver in itself. Just plug into your tv and enjoy. We love it as the tv can sit right on top and integrates for a neat and organized look.

You need EITHER a Receiver (if you want to have also Radio) OR an amplifier.

You do need a receiver. I went with a Sony receiver. They are well priced and are good quality. These speakers not being wireless sort of ages this system now. Might want to keep that in mind. There are good all in one (receiver included) surround systems out there now. Do your homework.

Yes it needs a receiver. This is a passive sound bar. It does not use HDMI connections since it is connected to a receiver through speaker wire connections. I had a realitvely new receiver and decided to go to a sound bar and subwoffer instead of a 5.1 speaker system in my new house. The sound from this unit is unreal! It fill a large great room (18 x 25 ft) very well after I adjusted the speaker configuration for the room and my equipment.

Unfortunately, I can't answer that, since my is connected to my receiver. Sorry!

Hi Leonard B., I bought this receiver for my brother and sister in law, last year. They wanted a basic, powerful stereo receiver, NOT a home theatre system. I chose this model because the speakers my sister in law has are high end and need 75 watt PLUS per channel. She is a semi professional singer, who listens to classical music and opera all day long. They LOVE this receiver. The sound is crisp and clean. The radio is dynamite, and they live in a remote area of the northeast. So yes they need an extra antenna. I use one myself even tho I live in Chicago. This is an excellent receiver to serve as the center of a traditional hi fi set up. You can plug your TV/DVR/DVD into it.. but it is not a home theatre system. It's for music and radio listeners. -Timothy Jackson Chicago, IL

Yes, you can get one with Squaretrade which I think shows up when you purchase the receiver.
