I have my TV set up to automatically connect to my soundbar when I turn on the soundbar. Maybe like 2 steps to initially connect the external speaker to the tv.

That depends on many things (your room, how loud your listening...type of music... crossover to sub etc ) your receiver is rated @ 135 / channel - when running in mutli-channel that output will be less however bottom line they are much better than the 70's ( I went from 60's to the RTI no contest) Some ideas to share (1.) take some time with speaker placement in your room... get them out into the room as much as you can at least out in front of other equipment especially the TV. (2.) Run your speaker calibration on the AVR but plan to run again 30 days once the speakers break-in or if you move speakers (3.) there are pre outs on that AVR to add external amp if you feel you need more power. (4.) Enjoy them ... the A9's are large and sound fantastic! FYI the Efficiency spec is 90 dB on the A9 you should be very happy with these speakers connected to your Avr

Sorry for the late response, and you've already seen other replies to your question. These speakers are a great improvement over the TV speakers and the price is hard to beat. I use mine as part of a surround system with a center channel and two rear speakers, which really fills the room. Try then alone to start, and add to your system for the true surround experience if you so desire.

No you do not need external speakers. However, you may want to have them, since the tv is small and therefore so are the internal speakers.

As long as your TV supports Anynet or ARC, just connect your HDMI cable from your TV to the designated ARC port on the sound bar. Then change your TV sound output settings to "external speakers". I don't have a Sharp TV, so I'm not sure it will be labeled as I have described.

You can add external speakers - there are audio outputs. There are also audio inputs to accompany external video inputs.

Typically no, this is not usually how the sound is arranged on most TVs. Most of the time if you use one of the connection methods for an external speaker device, the TV will not also activate the TV speakers. That is a feature / function of the TV though, not this or any other external sound device.

No, external speakers can not be attached. My ITVS-750 unit has 2 RCA connections on the back. The connections are "AUX IN" and labeled as such on the unit, and indicated as such in the manual. I'm guessing others assumed they are speaker connections. Read the manual and labeling on the unit. Clearly NOT speaker connections.

Hello Marilyn, thank you for your interest in Electrohome The Winston EANOS501 does not feature an output to connect external speakers.

Does this mean that the speakers on teh TV will still be able to play audio?And that the audio from the DVD needs to get to the Onkyo via optical?So you can use the TV for center speaker, and the rest of the speakers for the soundstage? Sounds good! And also allows the system to remain simple to use (for the wife) without the Onkyo, but can easily become a ciname system at the press of a power button? Wow!

The speakers have to plug into the DVD box it comes with. If you want to have your PS3 play sound through the speakers, you have 2 options, (unless you have a TV with arc HDMI. I did not have this.) Your first option, use an optical audio cable to direct the sound from te TV to the DVD box. Your second option, use A/V cables to play sound from the PS3 or TV to the DVD box. If you don't have those cables, you can find them for pretty cheap in various places. I used A/v for my Xbox until I bought an optical audio cable. They both work well, but you'll get better results with the optical audio cable. Bare in mind, you'll have to have the DVD box on in order for the sound to come through. Hope this helps!

My Sony is older and does not have ARC, but occasionally the command pass through seems to work. Mostly from the (Sony) Blu Ray. Generally it's worth having the HDMI connection, if only to automatically shutdown the Soundbar when the TV is turned off.

I don't find any connections for external speakers. There is aux in and out and AM and FM antenna connections and a phone jack on the front. The internal speakers are pretty good. It is not a component like setup, but a good product for playing CDs, cassettes I think, never had and records. I got it to transfer records to CDs and it has done a very good job. Use it some for playback and am happy.

To add surround to a TV, the simplest method is to buy a soundbar (set), a single soundbar simulates surround in a single cabinet, some people find that acceptable. If honest-to-God surround is required then the soundbar will come with 1 or more external speakers (hence set). This polk speaker is just one component of many for folks who own amplifier, reciever, the whole sheband stereo system which am guessing is not what you have.

You can connect it via a digital optical cable...not a big deal. Just purchase one. You will have to the same thing with most all audio systems since your TV doesn't support ARC.

Sound will go out to this TV Sound System when connected to a Sony TV with ARC if you selected on the TV to be on external speakers. However, you may choose the sound to be output on the TV speakers when you select TV speaker instead of external speaker. This may be applied if you have other devices like cable box to be connected on the HDMI IN on this sound system and you just wanted to have it on the TV speaker system. (Pass through) -Ely
