You will most likely just need to get either a stereo receiver or a home theater surround sound receiver to power your speakers. How to hook this up? Well, you would connect the TV to the receiver by using a pair of interconnects from your TV's AUDIO OUT (L&R) to your receiver's (R&L) AUDIO IN, and then connect your speakers via speaker cable to your receiver's speaker (L plus and Left minus, R plus and R minus) outputs.

Answer 2

Your TV will have to have either a) amplified output for external speakers or b) line-level audio outputs (red/white jacks). a) is unusual, but b) is more common on higher-cost TVs. If the TV has audio outputs you will need an amplifier or A/V receiver in addition to your speakers. If your TV has no external connections for audio, you may still be able to get audio from your source if that is a DVD player, cable box or satellite receiver. Then you will really need an A/V receiver (not just an amp) to be able to switch between the different sources.

Answer 3

Most tv's do not have powered outlets for external speakers. You will probably need to use a seperate receiver.

Answer 4

if you want to you can take off the front of your tv and hook the wires to the speakers that are already in your tv and then screw the front of your tv back on. thats what i used to do

Answer 5

ask an electrician the TV 's worth too much to screw up with a miss-matched hook up .....don't let it burn cause u didn't learn.
