#2 Can you connect it to a Tv that only has an aux cable input?
You need some sort of audio output on your TV - but the 3 primary methods are covered. This speaker has HDMI ARC (audio return channel), digital optical, and a 3.5mm stereo connector. If your TV has RCA outputs, you could get a cable that has a 3.5mm connector on one end and red + white RCA connections on the other end.
