Question

Answer 1

i would get a regular surround sound. Don't use computer speaker for that kind of tv.

Answer 2

If your TV happens to have an optical (toslink or coaxial, coaxial will look like an RCA plug so make sure) output, you can use that with those speakers. I know some of the Bravia line does have optical output. If so, you're lucky. Those speakers have multiple input possibilities, but your TV most likely has limited outputs. Could tell you more if you had more information about your TV. But I agree with the above post in that you'd be better off just going with a standard home theater surround sound system (that would mean spending a fairly large amount of money though). Better sound quality, more connection possibilities and the ability to add/remove/upgrade speakers and components later on means you have to spend less money down the road when you'll need to replace that entire Logitech system, where if you had a HT system you could just upgrade the old components.

If you really must use that speaker system then it looks like the optical digital toslink connector would be your only chance (without using a lot of adaptors and probably degrading the signal horribly), if your TV does have it. Look up your TV on the 2nd link below and look at the specifications for it, under "Inputs and Outputs" and look for "Digital Audio Output(s): Optical Digital Output - 1 (Rear)". That's your ticket. Or just look at the back of your TV, it's a small square hole with what looks like a LED light in it (or if you have an older remote for a TV or something, the little IR bulb that sticks out of the front of the remote)
