How to connect computer speakers to your LG TV

How to connect a subwoofer, speakers to TV: via HDMI, RCA, via Bluetooth

Subwoofer, speakers or speaker system are useful additions for any TV, because the regular audio system is unable to provide high-quality sound. If while watching movies you can still be satisfied with it, then for listening to music it is not suitable at all. We have already considered the rules of choice and the best soundbars. And many times we have touched upon other kinds of acoustics. Now I’ve got my hands on how to connect a subwoofer to TV. As well as the speakers. All the details on the synchronization of acoustics with TV from different manufacturers are described below.

We will not go into the types of speakers and subwoofers by design, speaker size, etc. П., enough has already been written about it. Now let’s touch upon the most topical question. The presence or absence of an amplifier.

According to this parameter, speakers and subwoofers are divided into:

• Passive (without amplifier). They are much lighter, more compact and offer good sound quality. However, passive acoustics requires either a parallel connection to other playback devices, or the use of an external amplifier.
• Active (with amplifier) and active crossover. They are able to filter the upper frequencies, as well as easily connected to any multimedia devices, including TV. Such speakers can be connected as a supplement to other sound-reproducing devices, and as a separate unit through an independent channel.

Basically, this is all you need to know to understand the synchronization of TV with speakers. It is the presence or absence of an amplifier that will determine the answer to the question of how to connect the speakers to the TV.

Types of speakers

Speakers for Samsung TV and other TV models are divided into two main groups according to technical characteristics: active and passive. The first ones are equipped by standard with a built-in amplifier, powered directly from the mains. They do not require the help of additional devices. As a rule, this type of speaker is most often found in computer speakers.

The connection is made through a standard Mini Jack connector. Active speakers for TV connect to the device using round 3.5 mm inputs. If the TV is not equipped with such a connector, then a special adapter for tulips is used.

Passive speakers, or subwoofer, does not have a sound amplifier, which changes the connection algorithm. It must first be connected to an amplifying device, then to one of the connectors on the TV.

IMPORTANT! If the polarity is not correct, the sound quality will be compromised.

Simple speakers

It is possible to connect simple computer speakers directly to any TV device equipped with a TRS 3.5mm jack.

They also require extra power. An outlet. Before you connect the speakers to the LG or Samsung TV, you need to make sure that there are appropriate outputs on the panel of the device. An amplifier and volume control will help you get decent sound.

Multimedia Center

Technical predisposition of the multimedia center provides high-quality sound, not comparable with some built-in TV speakers or inexpensive speakers for the computer. You can connect your speaker system to your TV using the bell or TRS jack.

IMPORTANT! There must be an OUT output on the back of the TV which must be connected with a cable to the IN jack on the multimedia center.

Compound stereo system

The equipment has almost perfect sound quality. Consists of powerful speakers with built-in amplifier, passive speakers, and a subwoofer that splits the sound into separate channels. Taken together, the stereo system provides not only comfortable listening to music, but also volume realistic sound when watching movies.

The stereo is connected to a Samsung TV or other brands using a cinch connector. RCA or TRS adapters are also used. The sound from the TV is directly output to the speakers of the active group, so you must use the recommended wires and cables.

Home theater

Your home theater system provides high-quality sound. It is the most optimal stereo system. For the best sound quality, a 5-speaker row is used.1 consisting of speakers and one subwoofer. The system has an amplifier with a professional receiver, which gives the sound of the speakers clear and spacious.

You can connect to your Samsung TV through a digital HDMI connector for superb quality sound output. Before you connect your home theater system, turn off your TV to avoid short circuits.

IMPORTANT ! We recommend connecting your device only after carefully following the instructions.

Wireless speakers

Modern Smart-TVs have a built-in Bluetooth module that allows you to pair your TV with other devices. It’s easy to connect wireless speakers to the TV device because the system has an intuitive principle that can slightly differ on different models. This method is convenient because you can remotely connect the speakers to your Samsung TV without any extra wires.

To connect wireless speakers you need to do the following:

• In the TV settings menu find the Bluetooth item and turn it on.
• Headset must be turned on for Smart-TV to find it.
• Then select the desired device for pairing.

Wireless speakers for TV are compatible not only with Samsung models, but also with LG, Sony, Phillips and other manufacturers. You should study instructions that come with Smart-TV set.

Monoblock

Many computer monoblock owners wonder how to connect the monoblock to the TV? The process is not complicated, it is enough to connect the computer to the TV via HDMI or USB cable. In the settings you need to select the input source.

It is a little more difficult to set up the sound so that it will be output from the TV speakers. To do this, go into the sound settings on your computer and select the HDMI output by default. If nothing changes, in the tab “Supported formats” set the sound frequency, which should be equal to 48 kHz.

Of course, to watch regular analog TV channels a simple stereo sound is enough, which will provide your speakers with 5. 10 watts.

Left and right signal source outputs on the back of the TV (this is where you connect your speakers or stereo system)

If you think that the sound is poor in bass notes, you can not hear the shades, then it becomes clear that for better sound quality you need a simple amplifier and external brought out speakers. And if we are talking about watching high quality movies, then the sound quality should not yield to the image quality. Good multi-channel sound is only possible if an additional external speaker system is connected via a receiver.

Usually, the sound card (sound processor) in the TV set works well enough. Problems with sound quality arise only because of the built-in speakers. In this case, the sound problem is solved by connecting small external active (having a built-in amplifier) speakers, for example, computer speakers, directly to the TV. The speakers definitely have a built-in amplifier if they are additionally powered by the 220 V home power supply and have their own sound regulator.

Adapter cords for connecting your speakers to the TV

Important! Do not connect speakers with high power directly to the TV set. Only possible with an amplifier! Otherwise, your TV can burn out the sound chip, the endurance reserve of which is not designed for such loads

Cables for connection

Sometimes a study of the connectors on the TV and the audio device to be connected gives an understanding that you will not be able to simply connect them. In such a situation you should know which cables can help to solve the problem.

The simplest case is a match between the connectors on the TV and the speaker. Then the following kinds of cables are applicable:

However, it’s not always that simple, and users start looking for cables that might not exist in nature. For example, it will be extremely difficult to find a cable with HDMI on one end and tulips on the other. The same situation is with adapters for optics. If they can be found on the expanses of Chinese online stores, you should not hope for quality work, and in general that they will work. To avoid getting into a situation where you are searching for a connecting cord that doesn’t exist, you should know what adapter options are available:

Important! When choosing wires you need to know the following. If you use a standard SCART type cable, 3.5, RCA, then the quality of the signal does not particularly depend on the manufacturer, the presence of special coating on the plugs and the material of the wire itself. You should be most concerned about its length. The longer the cable, the worse the quality will be.

For HDMI also works the length rule, that is. If possible to stop at a maximum of 1.8 meters. But the signal quality can be affected by the coverage. The gold plating is said to help preserve the signal. But the manufacturer does not play a role. Whereas optical cables are justified over long distances. The manufacturer and material are not important at all.

Connecting active speakers to the TV

They have a built-in amplifier. They are powered by 220 volts, because the amplifier needs additional power. Active speakers are considered computer models, audio systems, home theaters and stereos. They are equipped with a 3.5 millimeter Mini Jack output. To connect, study the connectors on the TV and speakers. If you have RCA (RCA-Tulip) outputs, use a 2RCA cable. You will also need a Mini Jack cable. If such a connector is not available use the headphone input.

SCART connector

Universal jack for video and sound, or a modification of SCART-RCA. They are available in different versions. Choose according to the outputs available on the TV and speakers.

Optical input

The best option for the transmission of sound in multi-channel mode. Expensive speakers have an optical input. Usually covered with a plug. If such an output is available on the TV, buy an optical cable to connect the devices. This will provide the highest quality sound.

Connection Features

Connecting different TV panels to external acoustics is often on the same principle, small differences depend on the brand TV. Let’s look at two of the most popular brands, LG and Samsung, for example.
