Does this surround sound system require a DVD player to work??? or can i hook it up to my TV? or can i buy some sort of wire to make it plug in to a headphone jack if so what would that be called???

Answer 1

You will need to hook it up to a reciever and then get speaker wire to connect the speakers to the reciever.  Then you can hook up your tv, dvd etc to the reciever.

Answer 2

What the other guy said... OBVIOUSLY -- but unless you have a source that is playing in surround (Dolby) and is decoded -- all you really get is many speaker sterio.   So that DVD player -- it is decoding the signal recorded on the disk for you... or that satalite dish program "Broadcast in Dolby Digital Surround" -- it has all the channels... so yeah you gotta have the equipment -- but also the signal source.
