Connect the digital audio output of the TV to the optical input of the sound bar with the included optical cable.
Usually you wouldn't need to but if you wanted to offset it from balanced or if your connection has a stronger signal in one channel than the other you can connect a preamp or an amplifier with balance control and audio inputs as well as out puts to the system. You would connect the wires going in to the surround system into the input of the preamp and then connect the output of the preamp into the input of the surround system. CAUTION do not turn the preamp volume up to high or you risk blowing the surround system.
No, you will need a surround sound receiver or amplifier with 5 speakers and a subwoofer to hear surround sound.
If the TV has an audio output, connect this to a stereo amplifier, and then connect speakers to this. Modern TV's don't have amplifiers for external speakers.
If the speakers are passive and you can connect a line input into the sub separately, then yes. Most receivers can be configured for only two front speakers and a sub, although you will be losing all of the surround effect and the center channel benefits.
You could use an external cable or satellite receiver and connect speakers to that.
A DVD player does not have surround sound built into it. You can purchase surround sound speakers and connect them to the DVD player. This will make your movie experience much better.
If the speakers are not powered (they don't plug into the wall), you can cut off the RCA plug, strip back the wires to a negative and positive lead, and connect them to the speaker posts of the receiver.
Connect your PS3 to your TV then connect you surround sound to your TV.
You need a series of wires and a television capable of surround sound. You can purchase a box that has outputs for forward/rear/side speakers that you connect wires to the speakers for. Sony is your best option--inexpensive and durable. I have the 6 speaker subwoofer surround.
you could connect them all to each other then connect them to the receiver. or if you wanted a surround sound experience you could connect the biggest directly to the left and right channels respectively and then connect two of the pairs one set at a time as follows... left surround front (positive to receiverL+, negative connects to the positive of the left surround rear, negative of the left surround rear goes into the receiverL- ) on the right side ( right surround front + goes to receiver, (-) goes to the (+) of the right surround rear, the (-) of the right surround rear goes into the receiver.) this changes the sound frequencies the speakers are best at supporting because it changes the ohms of the speakers. this is called wiring in a series. as opposed to wiring the speakers all together + to + ,- to - , which is called wiring in parallel. Then with the last set of speakers set them at the very rear of the soundstage and wire the left speaker's positive into the left positive connection on the receiver then the negative of that speaker into the positive of the right channel. Then wire the positive of the right speaker into the positive of the right channel on the receiver and the negative of the right speaker into the positive of the left channel. this will only play the surround channels of the signal. test these speakers out alone if you want to hear the surround sound effect by itself. In music it will be the background singers ect. (if you have ever wondered how a surround system gets extra channels out of two analog wired channels now you know :)

It uses ordinary speaker cables. Unlike modern surround speaker systems, the Acoustimass 7 does not have a powered subwoofer. The only way to connect it to a surround receiver is to use the speaker level outputs from the right, center and left channels. They connect to the sub, and then on to each of the front 3 speakers. You will need to tell your receiver that there is no connected subwoofer, and that the size of the front 3 speakers is 'large'.
No, the output of most DVD players are analog stereo (front channel only) or digital optical or coaxial. The DVD player must be connected to a surround sound receiver, and then the front and rear speakers can be connected to that.

You need to connect the DVD player and speakers to an amplifier.
