Can I hook up a Vizio smart TV to my Teac Analog Amplifier?

[Kate in NorCal]

I have a VIZIO TV E551VA - purchased in 2012. I have a TEAC Amplifier AG-V2050.

I would like to connect the two. Can someone please give me an easy explanation of what I need to do to connect these two?

Thank you

According to the TV manual you have a 3.5mm stereo audio output on the TV (top of vertically oriented connections on the back). The receiver has RCA stereo inputs (I would use video in). You will need a cable like this one

Usually the TV volume control will not affect the receiver so you will have to use the receiver volume control. Check the TV menu to see if you can change this or if you need to turn the internal TV speakers off to get the audio output to turn on. Here is a link to the TV manual
