If its got center left and right and stuff the amp should split the TV signal for you. So you don’t need to worry.

If theres no amp you can’t use it / it’ll sound shit using your tv amp.

thats a pic of the back of it if it will help any one figure it out ..

i just been working out what you would need to do and if all you got is whats in that pic then i belive you need either an amp,decoder or some kind of splitter .. as you said you have a built in amp in the sub you will need a 5.1 decoder or spliter to split the signal for you … this would go inbetween your tv and suround speakers .. i am having trouble finding any thing that you can buy like this on the cheep atm .. unless you make one your self :laugh_at: .. i think the decoder would only be needed if you were conecting it to your pc … the hunt goes on :wink::wink:

na they won’t as it will come from the scart output and it is designed to link to the video out from your tv … i had a look around and i belive you need some kind of splitter and by the looks of it you cant get them in wire form .. the only ones i have seen in simple box splitter form are diy vertions .. the only way that i can find atm is to get a proper suround sound decoder/splitter stand alone unit .. and they cost a fair bit .. alternativly you could get a 5.1 sound card for your comp and dl the decoder software and then connect use your comp as tv out to your actual tv and sound out to your suround sound… just clarify with me that all you have is what is in that pic you posted a link to ..nothing extra .. and that the back of the system looks like the pic on the first link i posted .. just to make sure i know what i am talknig about

unless you spend out a fair bit on a splitter box .. probably some kind of pre amp 5.1 decoder .. the only way thing i have seen that you can use is a diy bluepeater esc box that looks quit complicated to make .. the thing is to get it to sound good you need a decoder as this spilits the sounds up properly so you get the proper surround effect .. with the way you are sugesting the exact same signal will be sent to all speakers .. so it will kinda be suround sound as you have speakers surounding you ..but it wount have the same effect as if you used a proper thing .. i am sure i have seen female single phono to duel male phone leads b4 .. mby if you got a few of these you could connect them together .. i’ll just see if i can find them … cos all you would need then is scart to single phono .. and split it a few times from that. ..

To be honest your not going to be able to make 5.1 sound good from a stereo out on your TV. What you can however do is plug in the front two speakers and just runa stereo out from your TV to the front R and L inputs….that way you get stereo sound and a sub woofer.

Though tell me what TV you have and I can figure out if theres any other options.
