Without the TV model number and don't forget all the trailing alphabet at the end this TV could have optical, analog and some have none at all. Let's hear more.

It's not very like you would ran into a tv which has speaker connections for external speakers. And I don't think it's worth it to make use of these speakers. Just my 2 cents.

The tv model is (UN50H5203AF). Type is (UN50H5203). I only have the speaker and the speaker has cable coming out of it but there is nothing at the end.

I only have the speaker not the middle part. So I don't think the rca cable would be much help because the speaker doesn't have anything to plug the rca cable in. It just have a wire.
