How to connect a home theater system (HTS) or surround sound system (SSS) to my Philips TV?

Published on 2016-12-29

This TV only has an RCA audio (red and white) output and does not have a digital audio output (coaxial). The audio equipment must have an analog audio input in order to work with the TV.

Follow these steps to connect the devices:

  1. Unplug the TV and audio equipment before you make any connection.
  2. Use the RCA audio cables to connect one end to the AV out L/R output jacks at the back of the TV.
  3. Connect the other end to the audio input jacks of the audio equipment.
  4. Turn on the TV and select a program.
  5. Switch on the audio equipment and select the input to which the TV is connected.
  6. Adjust the volume on the audio equipment to hear the sound from the audio equipment loudspeakers.
  7. If you do not wish to hear the sound from the TV, press the volume down button on the remote control to turn the TV's volume down.
