Many TV's are "hot chassis" sets with the chassis connected to neutral. Hot chassis equipment can introduce a large amount of hum.

Question, Is it one jack or more? Is it for rca cables, a square hole, or headphone jack? Is your all in one stereo surround sound? (i.e. 5 or more speakers) Thanks, Dave

Yes, basically just like a walkman or discman; headphone jack split to a 'y' RCA L and R.

The technology is primarily digital so they'll usually have some sort of digital or optical output. I'm sure any set-top unit will also have the analog RCA's though and it should work through a headphone Y cord for portables.
