yragha Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Just bought these from Best Buy, reading several reviews not only on Amazon but also the Best Buy site reviews that state these work with TV's. I have a 42 inch but am wondering how do I hook these up correctly?A poster (reviewer) on Amazon stated the green plug goes to the Headphone jack but I'm still getting sound from my TV speakers and nothing from the speaker system.My current setup is HDMI from TV to Tivo and HDMI2 from TV to PS3.Any help you could provide me would be great, thx.

Mister_Clean Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 might have to do with the tv settings. some tv's have to be set to allow the headphone jack to put out a signal and some need to be set to turn off the built in speakers when the headphones are in use. I would check with your owners manual for your television, ifyou still don't get sound from the speakers, do a little trouble shooting,m hook up a regular pair of headphones to that tv headphone jack and see if you get anything.

yragha Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 This isn't the most expensive LCD TV in the world and no option to turn the speakers off. Owners manual states Optical to connect to a sound sytem. I've tried headphones but am not getting anything. When I plug the system in, I do however hear the subwoofer turn on...that's about it.

Mister_Clean Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I don't know, tv's vary alot from brand to model etc. but if you can't get the headphone jack to work that sounds like a problem with either the tv settings for that jack, or the jack itself. another option you can try is if your tv has RCA audio outputs you can use a female stereo to stereo RCA male adapter and use the speakers that way. I am sure they will sound much better than the factory built in speakers, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yragha Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Ok, but where would I plug that in at on the TV? And are you talking about something like this... http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-Stereo-Female-Y-Cable/dp/B0002GUBIS/ref=pd_cp_e_1 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
