How to hook ceiling speakers to television?????

First off, you can't just hook the speakers up directly to the TV as it doesn't have an amp to power them unless it is a special TV.

Is the am/fm/cd stereo a car stereo or home style? Does it have a DVD player build it?

Easiest way is to get an all in one home style stereo/amp/DVD player and hook the speakers to that. Then you can program the remotes to work on both TV and stereo/DVD player.

Have fun.

First,
verify your surround (ceiling) speakers work when you are watching a movie ...

if they do, then you set your surround or dvd player to accept the
'alternate' (TV) audio input (on mine it's labeled 'optical') and then turn the volume up to enjoy !

I believe most systems work the way yours does. We have the same setup. If we're watching just the tv, then we use the tv remote to control sound. If we're watching a movie then we use the stereo remote to control sound. Just turn the volume up on the other to max. You will always need two controllers. You can't program your controllers to control one device like at home.

You said you could run TV through stereo...can your TV be programmed in the settings to use auxiliary sound vs TV sound? If so, you would only need to turn on the stereo and make sure it was set to use TV. Then the one TV remote would operate channels and sound through the speakers in the ceiling. This is how ours is set up and I only use the stereo remote to turn on. If you hook the speakers direct to the TV, you may lose the function of operating the stereo. I'm not 100% sure on that but it would be my fear. Good luck!
