What is the simplest way to set up a tv and blu ray system with two external spakers?

I am about to buy a new lcd tv which will be mounted on the wall. I will also buy a blu ray dvd player. For better sound both for TV and dvd I want to buy a couple of external speakers.

Can you plug the speakers into ports at the back of the tv or do I have to run them through an amp?What is the simplest way to set up a tv and blu ray system with two external spakers?
depends on the tv if it has outputs. My tv did and i use those to go to a surrond sound set. with how cheap surrond sounds are i would rather go that route then try to use my tv as an amp. easier/cheaper to buy a new 39 to 200 dollar system than a tvWhat is the simplest way to set up a tv and blu ray system with two external spakers?
You do need an amplifier and speakers or amplified speakers because the audio output from the TV is unamplified.



The simplest way to get good sound is to get a simple stereo receiver and two speakers.

hopefully your TV has an HDMI input.



easiest way: get a receiver with "HDMI pass-through" (ex: Onkyo 606).



1st HDMI cable: from Blu-ray HDMI-out to Receiver HDMI-in

2nd HDMI cable: from Receiver HDMI-out to TV HDMI-in



then hook speakers up to recevier L/R connections, and you're done! :)
