I have two sony speakers that I would like to connect to my HDTV. Will these work for this and do I need 2 sets or 1 set?

yes they will work one plug goes to red and one goes to white on your audio out on back of tv. the speaker wire is only one foot long but im guessing you know that much. good luck.

Sorry Brian, I can't answer your question because these didn't work on my Vizio TV and I had to return them.

I don't use these speakers with a TV. I use them only for 2-channel stereo listening for which they were designed. You can listen to your TV with these in 2-channel stereo if you have an AV receiver. You would need a center channel and satellite surround speakers for 5.1 audio.

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.

The set has two basic HDMI inputs. I don't use them for audio, but if you have an amplifier with that feature, I'm sure they would work for that purpose. The set also has one optical digital audio output (the square kind) and a standard analog stereo RCA cable audio output.

Thanks for the response. I have a ONKYO SR505 and am connected like you are. With this A/V unit I must use the audio optical cable if I want surround audio to the speakers. I can use the HDTV speakers to get HDMI quality sound which defeats the purpose of having a surround system.

first find out if your tv requires active or passive, these are active, are manufactures the same these are sony correct you could buy one pair to try if it doesn't work, i buy it from you. depending on cost. kabosh@sbcglobal.net

yes you will need more than one. It will only work on one tv at a time. Or you could use it in on what ever room you are watching the tv in. Very easy to hook up.

Yes you can use various speaker setups including only two. Either from the built in menus that display on your tv. Or over your home computer network via your web browser. Both methods give many options as you can see in the pic linked below. http://tysoes.com/amazon/DENON_Speaker.png

The speakers operate on the same frequency as one another so only one transmitter would be required. Unfortunately at this time a two speaker, one transmitter package is not available so two sets would need to be purchased with only one transmitter used.

Actually, I bought an old Sony home theater receiver from Craigslist for $20. These older receivers (the ones with Dolby Prologic but not Dolby Digital and/or DTS) have A and B speaker outputs, which can both be run at the same time for a total of four speakers in stereo. If you're not put off by the idea of buying things from Craigslist, this might be the best and most affordable option (affordability being, I assume, the biggest criterion if you're buying these speakers, as was the case for me).I hope this helps. :)

No it will get you one speaker, and please make sure you have the right outputs for them as they use balanced inputs

I have mine hooked up to my TV via the rca cables and on my Sony TV it allows my audio to have multiple audio outputs at once and I can hear anything that will play throught the TV speakers in this set of Headphones. I LOVE them!!! So your answer is YES.

Depends on how you have them wired. Wire each set of 6x9s in parallel for a 2ohm load. This will go on channels channels 1 & 2, then use channels 3 & 4 for the 5x7 speakers. This should work fine.

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.

Ralph, These speakers are for a home theater system only. I am using my speakers' with a Yamaha receiver and my Sony 46" flat screen to replace the weak speakers' that comes with most flat screens tvs'. What a difference it makes when we are watching a movie or just watching tv. Great sounding speakers for the money! Hope this helps! Abby

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 8 ohm speakers work fine (this is my second set), but they need an amplifier (driver) to make them work. You would have to check the technical manufacturers sheet that came with your TV to see if it what the power requirements are for external speakers. I'm using a Pioneer Elite amp and I can set the volume level of individuals speakers (surround sound)....but most TVs only have one set of external speaker jacks and it doesn't really solve your problem. You may want to check with Best Buy or some other store with someone who can discuss the specifics of your TV.
