My Phillips CRT tv has speaker connections at the back and I was wondering if I can hook up a pair of passive speakers to it? If I can't then why does it have those connections at the back?
Inbuilt TV amplifier?

Easy enough to try. Is that steam driven?
Without assurance, I wouldn't like to experiment on my newly bought 300W sub.
RTM?
Early surround sound?
Surround sound "effect"!
Plus, of course, as this TV doesn't have any built-in speakers, the front L and R speakers (which are detachable from the TV sides), would also connect here...
It sort of makes you wonder how he heard any sound from the TV in the first place, if he didn't know what the connectors did
I have been hearing sound from the TV for the last 5 years without any external speakers! This TV has got inbuilt speakers. I think the connectors might be for external speakers but with low output wattage?It sort of makes you wonder how he heard any sound from the TV in the first place, if he didn't know what the connectors did
Could you show us a picture of your actual TV, rather than a copy and paste from here?

Yes, the TV will take passive speakers. That was the idea. You could do with some that are fairly sensitive to make the most of the available power from the TV. Aim for 89~91dB/W/m (A.K.A. 89-91dB at 2.83V).
Regarding the sub, you'll need either a sub with a speaker level (hi-level) input, or a TV with a line level output that tracks the volume setting.

Hang on, are you the guy that was posting about surround sound the other day?
THIS is why your TV spec says it has it, you have to plug in external speakers to put at the back of the room!
And no, the spring clip connectors aren't for the sub, you should use the Left of the phono outputs to the right of the speaker terminals

See post #6 - this particular (elderly!) TV requires 8 ohm speakers.
And don't forget - surround sound 'effect'!
Yes, that was my modern TV. Thought this thread was in it's grave by now.
