If they are passive speakers, even if you hooked them up
wrong it wouldn't hurt anything...as long as they were
connected to the speaker terminal jacks/connectors. If the
speakers have RCA connectors instead of bare wire, they may
have hooked them into the wrong RCA jacks on the set, but I
doubt this would hurt anything either with a passive
device...it's 'possible' since the impedance is so low for
speakers, but not very likely. More so if they are blown,
because that would mean the voice coil would be shorted
creating 0 ohms.
Now if the speakers are of the amplified type, that's a
different story. This COULD hurt something if they were
connected to the wrong jacks (if the speakers used RCA jack
connectors), but wouldn't if simply the polarity was
reversed. They could only screw up the polarity if the
speakers used bare wire, therefore only the bare wire speaker
terminals could have been used. And again, if they were
blown, this could be more of a chance to damage something if
they used RCA connectors.
I guess the first logical question to ask them, is are the
speakers passive or amplified, and if passive, did they hook
the speakers into a separate amp or receiver, then hook the
amp or receiver into the TV set.

Subject: [TechAssist] Toshiba TP50F61, EXT speaker damage
Hello,
I received a call from the previous customer. It seems now
they hooked
external speakers up to this PTV and now the set will not
come on, or if
it does, there is no audio/video.
I always figured the only way to damage these was if there
was an AMP
hooked up and it was too powerful. Could the speakers have
damaged this
set if the wires were reversed? If so, would it take out the
video,
also?
I appreciate all opinions.
Thank you.
