Home audio & video forum: connecting external speakers to Bravia

You would benefit from buying real loudspeakers and an inexpensive AV receiver.

It would help to know which Vizio model you have.

If you use satellite or cable, you simply connect the audio output to your zenith home theater. If you have neither of the above and the Vizio's doing the legwork you may be SOL. If your Vizio doesn't have any audio output you will be in trouble.

Looking at the rear of the Zenith here-

You appear to have digital optical in, as well as coax inputs for audio via coax from the wall (or cable box). If there is no cable box and your Vizio is tuning in all the stations, you could try two things. First, split the cable at the wall and run one into the Zenith. The second half of the split would go to the Vizio. Mute the audio on the Vizio and use the audio features/speakers of the Zenith.

If you could be more specific on how you have everything hooked up we can know for certain what other options exist. List the current connections & cable types too if possible.

Thanks Dan,
