Can this speaker be used with a flat panel TV using a HDMI? I will be receiving this as a gift and wanted to use it with my flat panel tv.

Thanks for your question. This speaker does not have an HDMI input. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Sony dealer.

In order to use the speaker you will have to remove the connection on the cables since this is wired to connect with sony I'm not sure whether it will work as per it shouldThank you

Never tried it but the sound would have to come thru the tv because there is no output of sound other than thru the tv. Not a good product. I'd give you mine just cuz it's that bad.

This particular sound bar does not have a HDMI port. You can use the optical input or the A/V cables if your TV has them.

From the Bose web page: *Designed for use with your stereo or home theater receiver So--yes, you do... unless... Of course, your flat screen output might have enough wattage to drive acceptable sound from your Bose speakers, but it's likely that you won't have enough volume without annoying levels of noise from the low-powered amp in your flat panel's audio wiring. If your TV has outputs for "external speaker" you might make those work to drive the Bose. With just a "line out" or "audio out" jack you may get some sound, but you probably need an amplifier or receiver to be happy. Good news--those are incredibly cheap used these days in the homes of baby boomers everywhere and your local Goodwill...

Your TV would have to have bluetooth built in it for this speaker to work as it only works with devices that have bluetooth installed and enabled. Therefore, I do not see any way it could work with a TV since they do not have bluetooth built in per my knowledge.

probably you can, copmare the speaker jack of your tv with a computer if it has the same jack then you can use it as your tv speaker too.

I would ask why? You might could make this work, if you had an HDMI to DVI adapter, but then I'm afraid you would lose the sound. You're better off buying an LED or LCD-TV With an HDMI input. Then the TV can process the Video and Sound that comes through the HDMI. I love my Acer AL2216Ebd, but I use it strictly as a computer monitor.

If your TV, DVD, Blue Ray has a mini-plug audio outlet, I suppose it would be possible using the speaker's "aux in". However my experience with this tower is that the built-in TV speaker has better sound.

If I understand the question you will have multiple devices hooked up to your TV via HDMI and you will use an optical audio cable to connect to the sound bar to play sound from the TV. Yes, the sound will play fine. I have the same set-up for mine. You just need to make sure the "function" is switched to "optical" on the sound bar to have it work.

Most likely, assuming the TV has a 3.5mm audio output jack at the back. I would say the audio is definitely better than regular TV speakers.

the sound from an HDMI source does come from the HDMI cable -so something like an xbox being hooked up only through the HDMI cable forces you to use the built in speakers. this may not be a problem for devices where there is a separate audio output from the video through HDMI, but that's a lot of cables. if you're doing all that, you might want to rethink your set up to have dedicated speakers and a dedicated monitor.

I don't see why it would not work. I think the speakers sound great although it is not surround. Use the RCA jacks to plug into the TV

As long as you have RCA jacks for your audio out on your TV, you can use this sound bar. There is no hdmi input on this sound bar, just RCA and Digital (optical) inputs. Hope this helps!

Yes it can. This would be the case as long as your tv or more likely your cable box have bluetooth. You can also connect with an auxiliary jack cable out from your tv to the speaker.

Yes you have 2 options. If your TV got a audio output then use that to connect this speakers. If your TV don't have audio output then you need use their AV option (You cannot HDMI)

It can be used with any audio source with a mini jack. It won't mount to a non HP monitor and the sound may no be what you'd want for a new TV, like for movies. It works great for basic computer speakers.
