Connecting Hi-Fi System and TV Solved

Question

Hello,  I have a fairly recent LG TV and I would like to connect a hi-fi system to get sound from the speakers.  On my hi-fi system, I only have an "AUX IN" output, and on my TV, I have the red and white output (below it, it says "COMPONENT IN"). I plugged in the cord and nothing happens.  I thought it was because there were 2 "IN" ports, but I'm not convinced. Would I need an adapter? A SCART?  Thank you very much in advance.

Hello,  Indeed, since Aux In is an input and Component In is also an input (designed to output the sound from a VCR or DVD player to the television's speakers), it will not work, and there is no adapter available.  There needs to be an Aux Out or Line Out on the TV. You can also use the headphone output with a 3.5 mm stereo minijack to RCA/Phono (the red and white connectors).  Otherwise, if both the TV and the amplifier are equipped with digital audio outputs (Digital Audio or another name), you can connect them for the best possible audio quality. If only the TV has one, there are adapters available to convert digital audio output to RCA/Phono.  Best regards

You can plug into this aux input. The red cord corresponds to the right channel. By convention, the stereo right-left setup allows for the spatial distribution of an orchestra, particularly a symphonic one, with the bass on the right and the highs on the left. This also allows, in a film, for the train that moves from left to right on the screen to correspond with the soundtrack.  You can also use any available input, namely tuner, tape in, except for the phono input. You also need to adjust the TV volume to achieve the best possible sound (saturation, noise) depending on the input used.  I don't think you have any advantage in using a digital-to-analog adapter, as it's about TV sound, which will be equivalent to the analog sound you have from the headphone output anyway.  However, you can find them on the website www.goyona.com, in the "audio converters" section (around 80 euros).  If you want to listen to the TV through headphones, there's no need to unplug anything; just connect a hi-fi headphone or a mini headphone with a female minijack to 6.35 jack adapter to the headphone output of the hi-fi system.

Not a simple cable, a male stereo mini-jack to RCA cable. If the length of this cord is insufficient, you can add a male-female stereo mini-jack headphone cord, which is available in 5 m length. Of course, you need to select the chosen input using the switch on the hi-fi system. Make sure to lower the amplifier's volume to avoid starting with a sound that is too loud.

RCA or cinch is the format for AUX, tuner, tape inputs on current amplifiers. It is also the format used for cables. If you reread my previous message, you will understand that the cable I’m talking about connects on the amplifier side to the AUX in input and on the TV side to the headphone output.  The adapter I see in your link could be used provided it is complemented by other cables. However, it has the disadvantage of being a monoblock and therefore fragile in case of lateral pulling. I therefore recommend the cable I described, which can be found in blister packs at any major retailer selling hi-fi or similar products.

As I told you, you can buy this type of cable in any store or on any website operated by these brands.

All that is complicated, if the hi-fi system has red and white RCA inputs, you just need to buy this: https://www.aidoweb.com/images/upload/bloodytonyo/812777minijack_cable.jpg You connect the black jack to the headphone output of the TV, the red and white to the hi-fi system, but you said above: "To my Aux in of the hi-fi system? (I don't have red and white on the hi-fi system, just an Aux in socket)" What type is this input, is this hi-fi system recent? Can you please attach a photo?
