Help setting up home theatre system [photos included]

Hello,

I was busy setting up my Philips micro theatre system (model 149/05) to my LG HDTV (model 42LD450 - za) and couldn’t figure out how to get the sound working through the speakers.

Connected to my tv I have an Xbox one and a nowtv box I would also like to hear the sound from these through the speakers.

Thanks!

Silver = Philips sound system

Your stereo has RCA (left/right) AUX in. Your TV has optical out, and headphones out.
Cheapest solution: 3.5mm-to-RCA cable from TV' headphone to 149' AUX in.
Another option would be to get optical-to-RCA converter, and connect the converter to the 149.

Thanks for the speedy reply

Would both options give me surround sound?

Would it also give me the possibilty to play the sound from my tv & xbox?

Which would provide the best quality?

Thanks @alabalcho

Your Phillips is "Stereo", two channels only. No surround. Sound quality thru optical could be better, but you might lose XBox.

Plug wired headphones into your TV. If you can hear TV and XBox, so wil be your Phillips.
