Can you use these cables to connect a device directly to your Tv? I also am confused why receiver is used in the description.

Yes you can. I've connected my laptop and PS3 directly to my HDTV using these cables.
1116206
Yes, they can be used to connect a device directly to your TV. It is described as a receiver pack because many people run all of their devices into a stereo receiver and then use one cord to output to the television. These are high quality HDMI cables that will work well for the TV.
1116207
Yes. They have standard HDMI connectors which are common on TVs sold the past few years.

Theae cables can be used to connect the speakers to an amplifier/receiver, but not directly to a TV, as I've only seen TVs with RCA, 1/8", and/or Optical out. You would be able to make the phyical connection using an adapter, but the output from the TV is not designed to drive an unpowered (passive) speaker set. To use these speakers with your TV, purchase an amp/receiver. Also, these speakers seem to be aimed at outdoor applications. While these cables will work, they are not intended for outdoor use. You may want to try something a little more weatherproof.

yes. I'm currently using that cable on the out port instead. Aside note about this device, I would, first check that your TV has audio sync (delay) control. This transmitter does not have any options, so I had an issue where audio preceded video in transmitter mode. Also in either transmitting or receiving mode, it has a tiny memory buffer so if your receiving BT device is not line-of-sight, there are gaps and pops if someone even walks in between the devices.

yes I got this device for that exact reason you need an optical cable and then just a pair of RCA and you are set. remember to take the caps off the optical cable before putting in the optical input on the boxes. look for digital optical cable on amazon. I got mine for about $5. good luck. works perfectly.

I didn't need to use these as I hooked up using fiber optic cable my guess is that they are for composit type hook up or a/v output. You might look in the set up manual

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 Nyrius transmitter and receiver connect to receiver and target TV via composite cables(red/yellow/white). I'd think it would take a pretty elaborate setup of splitters and hybrid cables to accomplish that. With dubious results. Suggest a "chat" with Nyrius support.

I would think the cables that come with it would work. However, why would you want to hook it to the directv receiver rather than the television? That way if you also have a DVD player (or something else) hooked to the tv, you can hear that through them as well.

If you are asking can these speakers be connected directly to the tv, the answer is no...these speakers are designed to connect directly to a home stereo receiver (where you have the tv connected to the input on the home stereo receiver). If you are looking for speakers to connect directly to the tv, you need POWERED speakers (not passive, like the 161's). If your tv has an analog audio output (you would have to check the back), a good option would be the Companion 2 Series III speakers (but only if your tv has an analog audio out).

They connect directly to the system and your television. I use PlayStation. Hope this helps!

No, this cable is pretty specific in its function. I used it as en extension so I could place my computer speakers L and R farther apart. It is headphone sized jack (3.5 mm) and mono, so it won't work for your typical TV setup. You want component or composite audio cables probably. Check those out.

So if I want to watch TV the receiver must be turned on? How can I hook up the cables so the TV and it's speakers work with the cable, and the extra speakers work only when the receiver is turned on?

U need some kind of input signal to have a converted output signal. We get the input from our antenna. The only reason we use this gadget is because I busted the coaxial connection on the TV. Otherwise we would hook the antenna directly.

It didn't work for me, which leads me to believe that these cables aren't meant to function that way. I bought 2 of these and tried them on 2 separate TVs .

They have to be hooked up to speaker terminals on an amplifier or receiver. Not sure that your TV has the power or connection to connect directly. I would connect the audio outputs to a receiver or if you are using HDMI to a receiver, just connect them to the receiver.

I run the cable/dvd player straight into the receiver and my receiver will output to the tv and can use the tv sound system as opposed to the receiver. If I want to use the receiver for better quality sound, I just turn it on...

Hello- Yes, you would need a home stereo receiver to work with this speaker system, you can not hook them directly to your tv. With the receiver, they should be louder, and much better sound quality, than what you get with your TV's built in speakers. Good luck-
