How would this hook up to a home entertainment center? My TV, cable box, DVD player all connect to a recever that outputs the sound through speakers.

It hooks up very easily to the AV cables, or to the Audio (head phone jack) on TV, or receiver. My Wife's Aunt loves it, and was concerned that she wouldn't be able to connect it. It's great, and charges, if desired, from the base. The receiver should have a headphone/AV jack to connect to. You won't be disappointed, and can always return it. Just another thought, this item is discontinued by the manufactured, so any fixes are DIY or after market. Good Luck!

You need a spare "video out" from somewhere to make it work (the typical yellow, red and white rca plug combination). Either from the cable box, or maybe if you have a surround sound system it could have more than one output. I guess if your tv has a video out block that would work, though I don't think that's typical to have that.

The TV that we connected it to does not have a cable box so it is connected straight to the TV. We have a game system also which is used as a DVD player so there is a very easy connection. The remote for the speaker system has a source button and you would just push that depending on if you are watching TV or playing your DVD player. It sounds good.

Unless you want your audio to go to a source other than your TV... like a 5.1 stereo setup. And in that case, you'll probably want to use the digital optical or digital coaxial audio output over RCA cables (unless your stereo doesn't support that).

I have my tv connected to the soundbar with the optical port, and it works for the tv and the cable box. The dvd player I have it connected with the regular red and white cables. Make sure you change the output, if you try with all outputs, then maybe is the optical cable that is bad, or maybe you don't have it connected all the way. Check the connections again. Soryy that is all I can thimk of, I am no expert, but it waorks for me.

You need a receiver/home theater to hook speakers to for true surround sound. DVD is optional and would run thru your receiver/home theater system.

It comes with an optical cable to connect with the corresponding outlet on your television. That allows you to send DVD and Blu-Ray audio through the speaker. Unless your DVD player can also play CDs, running that audio through your speaker could be a problem.

Do you have a cable box? If so, connect the sound bar to your cable box. When you are using the sound bar for your TV put your TV on mute and the sound will come out via the sound bar - That's the instructions tech support gave me and it worked perfect! Good Luck

Do you use a cable box? If yes, that should have audio output jacks. You could either connect the Soundbox to the cable box directly or get some "Y" cables to split the input for you TV and Soundbox (you may need some adaptors).

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

I don't use both outputs from the device, so I'm not sure how they work exactly, but here's my understanding: If you have your cable box hooked (inputted) to say source 1, both outputs from the device will carry that audio signal to two different devices. I'm not sure of the utility of that exactly, but I guess if you had two different TVs or audio receivers and you wanted to hear the sound from the cable box on each, you could. I have my Xbox, PS3, Cable, and DVD player hooked into inputs 1-4, and one output to the surround sound system. Hope that helps!

Does your cable box have an optical out? If so you might be able to use that as your output to the sound bar.

Unless the TV has external speaker drivers (unlikely), you'll need an amplifier hooked up to a TV sound output (which is the way mine are hooked up to a TV).

You have options when installing this device. In my installation, I simply plugged the USB connector on the device directly into my PC and an HDMI cable from the device to my monitor. Video and were delivered to the monitor. Another option is to use the Audio Out connector on the device to deliver sound to another device such as your home theater receiver. So, the answer to your question is Yes the sound from your computer will play through the speakers of the receiver.
