A:
if this TV has regular audio output (the red/white connections)--which i think it does, based on the specs--then you can buy an adapter. i picked up an adapter for...5 bucks or so, and hooked up an old pair of computer speakers to my old television that way. i can't say it's great audio, but that may be the speakers! i do get sound out of both speakers (most of the time) so i guess that means it's in stereo.
oh, you might also have to pick up an adapter to go from the small jack to the big jack, or vice versa. that's probably a couple bucks.
