Connect KG2.5 to a flat-screen tv

Recommended Posts

Hello, We have a question about connecting our old 1994 or 1995 speaker to oursamsung flat screen tv. Our tv has a toslink port as well as another port we are unfamiliar with. The speaker has two plugs with a plus and minus underneath them. How can we connect the speaker (KG2.5) to our tv and use it in place of the factory tv "speakers"?

Dtc,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

In order to achieve your goal of using the speakers with your TV, you must have some sort of preamp/amp whether it be a receiver, integrated amp, preamp/amp combo, etc.

 

You would run the  toslink cable(digital optical) from the TV to a toslink input on a receiver, etc.  From the receiver you would connect speaker wire(+/-) from the left/right terminals to the left/right speakers.

 

If someone else knows of a different way please chime in.

That's the same way I was thinking.

 

dtc, there are many different receivers/amps that would work.  With the right equipment hooked up, a receiver will also allow you to listen to music, watch a DVD or Bluray, or listen to the radio if you like.

I'm totally gonna be a smarty pants here because I can. 

 

If if you just so happen to own a pioneer Kuro you can simply unplug the speaker wires, remove the sound bar, then plug in your speakers of choice to the speaker outputs in the tv.
