As long as your Panasonic Viera 32" Model TC-L32C3 has out put speaker phone with 3.5 mm jack, it will work.
Of corse it works with a laptop a cell phone or anything that has out put speaker phone with 3.5 mm jack. But, don't route it to stereo receiver because this unit it is already a receiver.

A:

The speakers are wired and those plug into the subwoofer. The rear two are 15 feet long, and the rest are 6 feet in length. I've added to some of mine with a male/female serial cable extension for the main power speaker and male/female RCA audio extensions for others. It all sounds the same with those (actually better as far as surround sound goes).

Answers

A:

Might depend on what's plugged into it, and how that is hooked up. As far as what I've tried, using an aux cord directly from a portable audio player into the green input on the subwoofer transmits to all speakers. However, plugging the portable player into a second stereo with an aux input and having a cord out of that stereo's headphone output going into these speakers does not transfer to the rear ones for some reason. It works from the stereo or portable player by itself though. Same goes for using inputs on the subwoofer other than the green one on top, some speakers will not work from a single cord plugged in to the other inputs, those are for combination plug-ins (I guess, mine didn't happen to have instructions)...

A:

Had no problem on my TV (a Samsung). But it has a 3.5 mm audio out jack. I bought a set for my Dad and had to buy a digital to analog converter box, an rca to 3.5 mm Y converter cable, and a digital audio out cable just to hook up the sound system, and the back speakers still didn't work. So in addition to that, I had to use the left/right rca cables that came with the speakers. It sort of worked: all of the speakers work now except 1. My Dad's TV is a 2006 model. It's a Sanyo or something, not a smart TV, and it doesn't have the 3.5 mm audio out jack. Plus, I'm not sure his TV is 5.1 compatible. Hope that helps.

Best Answer

A:

There are several reasons the rear speakers could not be producing sound:

1)The Audio you are trying to output is not 5.1 compatible
2)Your computer may not have properaly set your speakers to 5.1, to change this go into your playback sound settings, right click the speakers you wish to change and click configure speakers.
3) The Rear speakers may be out, and you should return the product.

A:

The music or movie has to be in surround or in 5.1 to make the back speakers work. Stereo programs will make the front left, right, center and the Sub woofer work. Play a 5.1 movie and see if they work then. A lot of movies use the back speakers for music and special sound effects.

Try plugging the speakers into a different outlet, and if that does not work return the set to best buy and tell customer service that there are faulty speakers. You can just return the speaker with a receipt and exchange it for the same model. I love the set when it's put together and would not recommend getting a different one.

Answers

A:

Make sure your computer or mobile device has the latest updates for its audio system. That should help keep the 5.1 sound mixing in top shape. If your computer's audio card or mobile OS aren't capable of providing a full digital 5.1 experience, Logitech does make an excellent 2.1 Powered Sound System that is pretty universal across all devices. And there are numerous available EQ plugins and apps that can enhance the sound spread, but beware, some can be huge mobile power drainers! As always, buy only the best quality connectors if you want to expand this 5.1 system into a room larger than the provided cables can reach. This system is pretty bold and easily yields a surprisingly rich surround sound experience. I'm buying my 3rd one today to install in another room. Have used this for 6+ years with no regrets across a myriad of input devices. Good luck, and hope you enjoy your set up!

If you do not have an on board, or aftermarket sound card you can only get the front satellites to work. You need a card and software capable of processing 5.1 sound, with front/rear/sub connections.

A:

You probably need to go to your computer's audio settings. They need to be set for the 5.1 mode. In the settings, you can test it for each individual speaker. Logitec also has a downloadable app which allows you to fine tune volumes on specific speakers and activate other effects, etc. Just search their website for the download which is free.
Hope this helps.

A:

Please use a 3.5mm splitter. The system will not play 5.1 surround unless plugged into the green jack. Yellow and black jacks will only provide 2.1 on each. So plug the splitter into the green jack, then a 3.5mm extension cable into Rach side of the splitter, and then into each device you would like to play.

A:

There’s a volume control knob on the right front speaker. I have a 49 inch Sony 4K TV that has a 3.5mm output jack for headphones. I connected these speakers to that TV audio output jack and set the volume knob to about 60%. I control the volume output from the TV to the speakers with the TV remote. My Xbox One X and my gaming computer are both connected to the TV with HDMI connectors.
These speakers sound 1000x better than the TV speakers and do give you a decent surround sound effect with just the one 3.5 mm connector. The two rear speakers give you about 15 ft speaker wires. I added 15 ft rca extensions and haven’t noticed any degradation in the performance.
