I have a Sony Bravia 46" LCD TV. Will these speakers work by hooking them up to the audio out? Are there any other speakers that would work better?

They will work with any tv through the audio out jack. I have mine hooked up to a 24" monitor. If you are thinking of using them for viewing movies or gaming you might want to go with something with more power.

For a large media device you probably want Multimedia Speakers not computer speakers. If your TV has a 3.5mm audio plug in it will work. However the sound will probably not be too much better than your TV speakers. Take a look at Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort Technology.

They should work with the audio out connection. I got these speakers for my laptop and they work great. That's a big TV you have though. For it I'd consider bigger speakers although wouldn't know what to recommend. Something more in the home theater line perhaps. To provide the surround sound effect you are most likely wanting.

The speaker's connection is a 3.5 mm connector. Not knowing what connectors are on your TV, I doubt if it will work without an adaptor. I don't use the Altec Lansing speakers because of very poor sound quality. Look at other speakers.

I think NOT. You need an audio amplifier/receiver (separate unit) to connect the speakers to. This amplifier can then be connected to your TV to provide home theatre sound quality for your TV programs and movies. The speakers can only be connected by means of typical speaker cable, which cannot be directly connected to a TV.

You connect old school for sound, RCA jacks on the back of the Bravia and on the other end the smaller one plug like for a pair of earphones. I used the one from my computer sound system (2 RCA) that connected to the computer (small one plug). Depends on the tv, my new Sony LED does not have RCA plugs, if the TV has RCA, then it would be RCA to RCA. Remember you are taking sound from the TV to the Bravia system.

It would depend on the audio output port options of your specific TV. The audio input of the speaker system is a standard AUX cable. If your TV does not have any audio output to match, it would still be possible given the right converter (not included, but not too expensive on amazon).

Not sure what your setup is but if you have picture and no sound check your audio settings. If it's set to output to AV Receiver you won't get sound to the TV speakers. That's my setup with the WD-73737 and a Sony AVR. I hope this helps but if not please provide more details on your setup .

You'll need a female mini headphone to male stereo RCA cable if you wante to connect this to the audio out of your television. These speakers are made for computers, but they should work okay with your television. Just don't put them too close to your tv because they're not magnetically shielded i don't believe.

You need to see if your TV has an optical or coaxial (rca) audio out. My son uses these speakers and they sound awesome. If you have this output then you're all set

It would depend on what type of connectors you have on the TV. the speakers have the headphone sized plug (3.5mm?).You would need something that would adapt to what you have on the tv's output. It's to hard to generalize. . .

I'm assuming your Sony Bravia has a VGA port, also known on some tv's as a "PC" port, check to make sure first; if that's the case, you can simply run to your local retail store (Walmart, Target, Radioshack) or continue looking here online or at ebay for a VGA cable. The only thing to watch for in that case was that each end of the cable look the same, with pins rather than holes. Simple.

Ben, usually you cannot connect such speaker systems directly as the TVs do not have a 5.1 connectivity option. You may need a 5.1 receiver. Afaik all TVs only have digital or optical outlets that you may need to connect to your receiver.Hope that helps.

You need a receiver or amplifier. Use the HDMI or Digital out or Optical out from TV to a receiver/amp and then hook up the speakers to the amp. Directly from TV, it won't work.

Hi Michelle, Connecting speakers will depend on the type of speakers and connection. The TV has an Audio Out RCA connection, Optical Digital Output, and HDMI. -Vincent

You cannot connect these speakers directly to your tv. They require an AV receiver to power them.

I agree with Damon--you can't just plug these into your tv, you will need a separate receiver. If you are simply looking to increase the volume, search Amazon for a "sound bar" which you can hook up directly to your tv. My grandfather is hard of hearing, and the sound bar works well for him.

I have this system connected to a PS3, so it's the same. There's no HDMI pass through on the Sony Bravia which complicates hook-up and you'll need to get a digital output cable and connect it between your PS4 and the Sony Bravia. Then use an HDMI cable between your PS4 and monitor / TV. You'll then have to enable the Digital Output in the PS4 configuration, then set the Sony Bravia in the TV/Cable mode to receive the audio. Works fine. Great value.

Be sure to look at the audio output on your tv. I have a LG 60" and the only audio output is optical. I am going to buy the LG home theater system and these cans will plug into that system.

A.K. Oh sorry we hooked the speakers up thru our direct tv box so yes the tv speakers worked but they are not good speakers so we put the tv on mute and only listened to the sound bar as it has a much better sound. that is the reason we ordered the sound bar. we did try to hook up the sound bar on the back of the tv audio output but then nothing worked. the tv has a very poor speaker system tv is a Hisence and it does not have very good features either. would never recommend that tv. Also the sound bar would not work if we put it thru the tv audio out and used the tv with a antenna. hope this is helpful. A.K.
