Hello I hope someone on this forum can help. I purchased the Definitive ProCinema 600 5.1 speaker set. I replaced the center channel with the ProCenter 1000 so now I have a ProCenter 600 left over. My only other TV is in the bed room and is a 22" that has horrible sound from the built in speakers.

So, is there a way I can hook the ProCenter 600 to the TV without a receiver and all of that mess? I want to keep it VERY compact as it is on my desk.

You really can but I wouldn't try because you would probably have to take the TV apart to do it. It would make for a really shotty setup.

Sorry for the bad news here but even if you got into your TV to hook up this new speaker of yours it would make only a slight improvement. You would still be using the audio section (amplifier) of the TV and that is where a lot of this bad sound is coming from. To avoid the audio section you need to take Audio out to a receiver of some sort.

Hello, I am pretty used to taking electronics apart, laptops and things. The TV is a Samsung 22A450 and part of my problem is the speakers on it are in the bottom facing down, I can hear the sound bounce off of my desk. Could you give me advice on what I would be looking for and how to try it out?

All you are looking for inside the TV cabinet are the speaker wires. Does the speaker you want to use have 4 binding posts on the back by chance???

The speaker only has 2 post, inside the TV each speaker has a positive and negative wire going to it, should I just hook one set to my speaker?

That is the safest thing to do! If you notice an upgrade to the sound then so be it.
