We Have a sony bravia tv and a sony amplifier, where do we put the red and white wires I tried all and cannot get any sound out of this subwoofler??

I had to piggy back this speaker off of my front speakers. It seem that this speaker wasn't designed to be used in the subwoofer position. I also have a Onkyo SKW204 Bass Reflex Powered Subwoofer that works great in the subwoofer position.

the sound output jack red and white should be labled on the tv. if you don't have them, then you will need to run ot via cable modem. if you dont have that then a dvd or vhs player ( this way will not play the tv sould, only the players.

How do I connect my subwoofer to my Sony STR-DH 800 if my subwoofer has two wire connector?Do I need to buy another subwoofer to fit onto the subwoofer port on the STR-DH 800?

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.

I actually just wired it into the B Channel connections and have had no problems...works great and that was the easiest way of wiring it. so, my speakers are in the A, the sub is in the B and I just flip the switch to A&B.; Hope that helps.

The only wires you need is some speaker wire from the sub enclosure to your amplifier. Thank you for your interest.

Mine is not comming from the sub. I've disconnected the sub and all the speakers 1 at a time and still have it. I did go into the Direct TV set-up and changed some audio settings and it is now at a lower voluume, but is still there. I thought maybe it was the Direct TV Receiver, but I disconnected it & still get have the hum running the receiver on fm stations.Thanks for the inputP.S. I have the Onkyo TX-SR705, not the 805.

Did you plug in the thin wire in the sub and sound bar? You can also adjust the bass via the controller. If you have done this and it still produces no bass I would suggest returning it

Have you tried a subwoofer that works? It will not work if the signal being emitted is not decoded to send the signal to the subwoofer, like Dolby surround.

Just need a single audio cable and maybe a rca cable for subwoofer. The length may be a problem for the audio but maybe best buy may have that long. Im assuming that you have and audio output in your tv

Just make sure you are plugged into a sub out port on your receiver i.e. bypassing the amplifier. Also swap the cable with any old cable to see if you hear anything. If that doesn't work you may have a dud sub-out port or a dud sub. If you do, I would recommend getting a replacement because I have had this sub for 6 months and it is fantastic for the price. Good luck!

I had the same problem, but if you push the output wire into the subwoofer hard and jiggle it a bit they should come on.

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.

The amplifier is contained in the sub woofer unit. You do not need any thing else to connect this to your TV. (You can also connect blue tooth devices and use a cable with mini stereo jacks or even RCA plugs.)

I would like this answer also. I hooked my up to a toslink convertor an no sound came out of the sound bar. Any help?

I just wrapped the speaker wire around the speaker connection on my speakers, and it worked fine (I had the same issue - my amp only had RCA output but my speakers needed regular speaker wire)

Juan is correct. Your subwoofer is probably unpowered, unless it has its own power cord. This receiver port that this connecter uses does not power the subwoofer, so you will not hear the signal through the speaker.
