Hi, connecting this to a Sony Receiver and then to a Samsung TV will not work since this Sony 4K Media Player FMP-X1 works only on compatible Sony Bravia 4K TV. Passing through 4K is not supported. -Ely

PamRosa, We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option. --Mr. S

Sure can but you'll most likely need a 3.5 mm to RCA cable. Unless your TV has a headphone jack in the back.

I don't see why not. Has all the standard connections. I use the hdmi with the audio dual mode for my Samsung/DVD connection. Great sound and 3d video. Was really worth the money. My only fault is with trying to use other remotes with this system. Most will turn it off but you have to use the sony remote to turn the system on.

Depends on how you want to hook it up. If your Tv has several hdmi ports:plug the cable into one and the Sony into the other. This way you will not be able switch feeds with the Sony remote, but you will be able to switch it Tv remote

You should be ok if your tv has an analog output. Otherwise you can use the hdmi passthru like we do. If you have more than one device to connect u will need a hdmi switch if you go this route.

Ours runs through a surround sound receiver. I'm not sure if it could hook directly to your tv, sorry.

I THINK this is the answer; On most current Samsung TVs, if your television has audio out jacks, you can not connect speakers directly to them. Instead, you must connect the audio out jacks to a standard stereo amplifier or receiver, which in turn are attached to a set of speakers. I have mine hooked up with a Sony receiver and speakers. Samsung has a customer service number 1-888-899-7604. They can tell you for sure.

You just connect it directly to the tv. Using the optical cable works best if your tv has that capability

Yes, but you cannot connect directly to your TV. You will need an amp in-between. A home theater receiver is the best choice.

Yes. It comes with a standard "S" connector. all you have to do is plug it into your receiver.

Mine is hooked directly to the receiver and works just fine. I tried to the TV but didn't have the correct cable (not included) and the cost to purchase was over $20.

If your tv is older than 10 years the answer is yes. However if you are on Satelite you can do it all thru receiver, and Satelite box

The only thought I have is to make sure that the led screen on the Sony receiver says TV. You can change the source with the dial knob on the left side of the face as you look at it.

Yes you can if your TV has Audio return Control (ARC as it is called by Sony) or such 2 way communication thru HDMI.

I don't think so - it is intended to allow switching the output of various devices to a device input. If by receiver you mean cable or sat, you may not need this device. If you receiver has an HDMI out port - connect that to the HDMI on the TV and run the optical out from the TV to the sound-bar. The HDMI provides a better quality sound connection than optical anyway.

You need a receiver/amplifier, then wire connection from receiver to the speaker. TV will connect to receiver input.
