The sound for this TV isn't that good, so I'm thinking of getting Sony SS-B3000 Bookshelf Speakers. What is a good amplifier for this, and how do I hook it up to this TV?

Instead of an amplifier, using a home theater receiver such as Denon, Pioneer, Yamaha, Sony, etc. is a better alternative since you can use the unit as part of your home stereo system. Most of these receivers, if not all, have TV, DVD Player, CD Player, AM/FM Radio, etc. audio inputs at the back. Using an audio cable (red/white color), connect the TV audio output to the TV audio input of the HT receiver by matching the color of the connectors. Using speaker cables, connect the left speaker to the left channel speaker terminals at the back of the receiver. Watch the cable polarity by matching "+" & "-" terminals at both ends otherwise the speakers will not sound good. Do the same to the right speaker. Turn on the TV & HT receiver. Set or click the TV input at the receiver and adjust the volume as needed. You can either leave the TV sound on or turn it down to the minimum, your choice.

This TV doesn't have any analog audio out. There is optical and hdmi audio out. I ended up buying a receiver to power my analog speakers. I presume you would need something similar or at least a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) if you wanted a standard headphone jack.

Hi Maricela, the KEF Q Series bookshelf speakers (Q100 and Q300) pair very well with this integrated amp. I have also heard Dali Zensor 1's and Monitor Audio BX5's pair well.

I have a pair of sony bookshelf 120w rms and it sounds incredible good. I recommend it to you

I don't know if this, or any other, speaker would boost volume for a tv with low volume. It might help to go into the settings screen for the tv and see if the volume can be adjusted. A powered sound bar might be helpful. Buy one at walmart and if it doesn't help you can return it.

Thanks everyone for you help! I bought the TV last week and received it on Thur. What a great TV!!! I found and purchased the RCA-to-3.5mm adapter and it worked great. Only problem was the lack of volume control as William stated. I then purchased an audio extender cable that has a volume control built into it. Everything works beautifully!Thanks Jerry for the idea of the Wireless Headphones. I'm going to look into it as a future purchase.Thanks again!!

That depends on the inputs of your amplifier and the output of your tv. Look for the "audio out" on the back of your tv.

the sound quality you would expect from a 300 watt system is not there. on the lg their is a single wire hook up in the back of the tv, the only problem is you will lose (sound quality) from the tv to the sound bar. i would recommend the vizio sound bar. even the 100 or 150 watt system will give you a much clearer sound and will save you money.

You need an amp that has a phono pre-amp (phono puts out less output than digital so it needs to be boosted before it's amplified. And, of course, you'll need speakers.

BEatlefanI am driving a pair or Polk T15 Bookshelf Speakers that sit on my desk. They get quite loud yet still remain quite clean :)) . If your TV has RCA outs should be no problem

Speakers are terrible, tinny sounding and not loud. Sound seems to come out the bottom of TV. I plugged a small pair of computer speakers into the headphone jack and they sound good. I just have to manually turn them off (they have an on/off switch on them) when I turn off tv.

I only had mine hooked up for a few minutes. The max volume was actually lower than the TVs max volume. Sent the thing right back.

That's how I use mine. (FYI - with an older HDTV set - since the output is external - you might not be able to control the volume of the sound without adjusting the amp's control. That is a bit of a pain.)

Plug A/V cable from out put to input on the amp. That should work and provide you audio for the tv.

Obviously your speakers need some kind of amp, internal (active speakers) or an external amp. Could you run this directly into an amp? Probably not because your TV likely outputs at full volume. You'll probably want some kind of preamp or volume control. But check your TV manual, if it does volume in the digital domain then you could. When I run my TV through it though, it is at full volume. Mine is TV > DAC > Integrated amp (basically a receiver w/o a radio) > passive speakers. And remember this is 2ch stereo, it won't do DD or DTS, you have to tell your TV to output PCM audio.

Wouldn't it be possible to use some good speakers with this: I mean toss out the satellites and connect some good bookshelf speakers? Has anyone tried that?

Hey everyone,I just purchased this system and wanted to jump in. I'm using the Sony STR-DG820 as my receiver and have SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers as my fronts. I bought this system to use as the remainder of a 7.1 channel setup. Polk seemed to recommend the setup that Schor talked about when using their satellites in the package as front speakers. Would anyone recommend this setup with the larger bookshelf speakers or would using the sub-out on the receiver be better? Any thoughts? Thanks
