Home theatre system add USB support

[nidish.kv]

I have a old Philips Home Theatre:HTS3450/55. It does not have USB port. I have an LG TV LM 34 Series which can play from USB. But the TV does not have audio out.
How to get the audio to the Philips hts from usb.

Use something aside from the TV. Hook it up to a computer.

That TV does have an audio out, it's just optical. You can get an optical to 3.5mm adapter to use also.

or a streaming media box like an Android box can be used to play your files from USB
The HTS has coax digital inputs so if the TV has optical audio out you just need an optical to coax digital converter. Check that the TV has a menu setting that will allow it to pass bitstream 5.1 surround sound audio. Some don't
If that the case then. Connect it and any other sources to an HDMI input selector with audio extraction. That will provide a digital audio connection to the HTS.
