Hello everyone,
I could really use your help with a quick education on boosting the volume for my grandfather who cannot hear his new TV. He recently purchased this Sharp 52" LED TV which is unfortunately, not as loud as his previous TV which stopped working. The Sharp shows to have two 10W speakers built in and one audio output. His source is a DirecTV receiver.
Are there simpler options other than adding a receiver? (He doesn't do too well with remotes). There were some speaker bars at BestBuy for around $300 but they were unsure how it would be hooked up. He doesn't need surround sound, he just needs to be able to hear the news. If the receiver is the only option, is it wired as follows?
DirecTV HDMI <-> Receiver Input HDMI
Receiver Output HDMI <-> TV
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Thanks!
Lance
