Connect a man movie to TV Solved

Question

Hello,
First message as I am completely lost. Here is the problem:
I have a Samsung MM-DC10 3.1 home theater system purchased in 2005, and I just acquired a Samsung 121 cm Full HD curved LED TV UE48J6300.
I am trying to figure out how to connect the two to get home theater sound, watch my DVDs, etc... but the connectors have changed between 2005 and 2016 and I don't even know if it's possible to connect them. How can I do this? Your help and advice would be invaluable to me. I am a total novice and completely lost. Thanks again.

Hello,
Your home theater has an RCA input (red and white plugs)
Your TV has a headphone output (female 3.5mm jack) and a digital optical output that we'll forget about.
The simplest and cheapest solution is to use a jack-to-RCA cable like this one:

Connect the red and white plugs to your home theater and the black jack to the headphone socket on your TV.
Be careful, the input of the home theater is a line and the output of your TV is amplified, so don't raise the TV volume too high to avoid saturating the home theater input => distortion. You need to find the right balance, setting the home theater volume fairly high, and then you can adjust the volume with your TV remote.
Of course, you'll need to switch the home theater to this input (often labeled Aux)
Note: the TV speakers will usually be turned off

Reassure me, you connected the home to the TV with a SCART cable, right?  -- I call a spade a spade *      *in French in the text

"I'd love to, but I can't!" Indeed, this new TV has no SCART socket unlike my home cinema. The TV has HDMI ports on the side, mini jacks at the back, but not a single SCART.

Here’s what’s behind my television:
- A yellow Y jack (video)
- A blue Pb jack
- A red Pr jack
- 1 white "L" audio jack and 1 red "R" jack

I was wondering if I should buy an ADAPTER that has SCART on one side for the home cinema and a jack on the other side for the TV to play my DVDs.

For the TV home cinema sound, yesterday it worked without a SCART, since I don't have one. Just with the connection you told me about.
Thank you.

You need a YUV cable for the image:

And an RCA cable for the sound:

And manually switch the TV to the YUV input, of course.

Thank you, I will try to see what I can do. For an expert, it's easy but for a layperson... it's tough to understand all these terms.  Thank you for your help.

Andy31200 · Answer

Oops!!! I messed up, for the sound from the home theater to the TV, forget the RCA cable with the red and white connectors because there is no RCA output on your home theater but a digital optical output, your TV has a digital optical input, so everything is fine.
Get a quality cable with a good casing because fiber optic is very fragile, for example:

And don't forget to remove the plastic protective caps if there are any.

Hello,
I actually ordered and received the digital optical output cable, and it turns out there is no input or output of this type on my home theater, even though the documentation mentions it. I'm therefore at the same point.

Best regards.

Hello,
In the same situation as my predecessors.
No audio output on my TV, so .....
Soundbar (Bose Solo 5) connected with headphone jack (TV) and 3.5mm jack (soundbar)
But on my TV, I have a female SPDIF port
Is that an audio output??
Is there a way to use it towards the soundbar which has optical and coaxial ports?

Andy31200 · Answer

In principle yes, what is the full reference of your TV and the soundbar? I call a spade a spade *      *in French in the text

Andy31200 · Answer

Your TV has a 3.5mm optical output, so you need either a mixed cable:

or an adapter:

or a cable sold with an adapter:
