No. The tv only puts out sound on two speakers. The hdmi cable gives you audio and video and is your best connection.

If you have a receiver for s/s, you don't really say you do, just connect a rca cable or digital cable from the tvs audio output to the input of the s/s. The the blu ray and everything connected to the tv will have s/s.
