Question How can i get TV audio out of my old surround sound system?

[jecepi94]

Hi,

Trying to get the TV audio to come out of my surround sound speakers.

TV model - LG 55LW6500-TA
Receiver - YAMAHA DVR-S60

Tv is rather old, but receiver is older. TV has hdmi, optical outs. Receiver has only RCA, so no optical, no hdmi. Ive purchased a DIGITAL to ANALOG audio converter, tried optical out of TV to convertor, convertor RED/WHITE RCA to receiver. making sure everything is plugged in correctly, power to the converter is good, red light on optical cable is good. correct input on surround system is correct, and ive also shuffled through all the surround sound options ( theatre, dolby 3, dolby pl etc).
tv audio settings seem limited, with my only options being -

Digital Audio Out - PCM or AUTO (tried both)

TV speaker - ON or OFF (tried both)

ARC Mode - ON or OFF

DTV Audio Setting - AUTO

AV Sync - OFF

Im not an expert on audio, ive tried everything i can think of and also what i can scrub up online on other forums. at the point now where i am losing my mind.

please help.. TIA

please take pictures of the TV´s connection and the receivers back panel and upload these to e.g. imgur.com. Post the link

Which converter box did you get? post a link from the shop

you could try to connect the TV via 3.5jack headphone and stereo RCA cable

Set the TV to PCM and connect the two RCAs to the audio in 1?. Did you switch the receiver to video 1 ?

 

[jecepi94]

Yes, triple checked this and still no good

 

[helpstar]

Did you try the 2nd audio in ?

 

[jecepi94]

Yes tried the second audio in and changed the input accordingly
Still nothing

last try would be the headphone to RCA cable, I think
