    Samsung LE26R74BDX - external speakers

    I bought one of these screens a week ago and I'm really pleased with it overall. However, the sound is a bit weedy and I'd like to hook it up to my Creative DTT3500s as I'm also gong to use it as a monitor, so it will live in the corner where the computer is. The problem is I'm not really sure what cable I need, or what connectors should be used on both ends (TV and Creative box).

    If I have to I'll buy a decent set of stereo speakers, but that'll mean I lose the bass output, as I probably wouldn't have the room for another sub. Any ideas on what to do?

    Erm, does the Speaker set have standard analogue audio inputs? If so you'd need to run a suitable lead from the telly's output (phono's) or from the headphone socket (3.5mm Jack)

    I tried that, but my Creative optical cable doesn't seem to fit into my Creative speaker set!! And yes, I did take the cover off WIll try again though.

    Thanks leeglf! Once I realised the bulbous plastic things on the end of the Creative optical cable were protective covers I was soon enjoying surround-o-rama!

    Goodbye weedy Samsung speakers.
