Solved! How do I connect my LCD TV, Android TV box & Home Theater system?

[siddheshk599]

I have the following devices:
Alfawise S95 Android TV box: https/www.amazon.in/Generic-Alfawise-S95-Android-Miracast/dp/B0784T8VVL

Haier LCD TV: http/compareindia.news18.com/specification/televisions/haier-le22c430/326412

Philips Home Theater system.
I've connected the Android TV box with my TV using HDMI cable. I want to configure these three devices such that the audio from Android TV box/ Home Theater system will be audible from speakers of Home Theater system and the video input from Home Theater will be visible on TV screen. My TV has component AV cable with 3 wires for AV IN and other 3 wires for AV OUT. My home theater is connected using RAC cables. Any idea to configure these devices?

Do you have info on your Philips Theater system basically you would need to router through that piece, you have run spdif from your Andriod TV into the home theater assuming it has that connection.

Thanks for the links.
For disc playback the HTS has to connect to one of the inputs on the TV. HDMI would be the best option if it has HDMI out. Component video would be next best.
For getting sound from the TV into the HTS you have to use the AV2/Audio output which seems to require some kind of breakout adapter according to the manual.

The other option would be to use the AV out in the Android box to connect the audio to the HTS directly.

I don't know the exact model of my HTS but I'm providing you with an image of back of HTS. That would give you a idea. Here is the link of the image: https/ibb.co/bzGyZd

My HTS does have HDMI out. I don't know the exact model of my HTS but I'm providing you with an image of back of HTS. That would give you an idea. Here is the link of the image: https/ibb.co/bzGyZd

You use the HDMI to get picture to the TV,
You will need the dongle the the manual shows to connect the TV audio output to the analog RCA audio input on the HTS to get sound to from the TV to the HTS.

Audio output from TV is not audible from my HTS when I connected RCA cables to the HTS from TV's audio output port. Any other solution?

Did you use the dongle that I mentioned? The other RCA audio connections are inputs not outputs.
Check the TV menu to see if you need to turn the audio output on?
There are no other audio outputs on the TV. You can connect any external sources directly to the Philips.

Can you tell me which dongle? Please mention the name. I checked the manual but I can't find it. Are you talking about the AV2 IN/AV OUT wire? I'm thinking of purchasing this wire: https/www.amazon.in/LipiWorld®-Premium-Quality-Stereo-Audio/dp/B071F8V8C6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1529646889&sr=8-2&keywords=3.5mm+jack+to+rca+cable OR this one: https/www.amazon.in/Essentials-Female-3-5mm-Stereo-Connector/dp/B079D9FXP8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1529649953&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=3.5mm+jack+to+female+rca+cable&psc=1 . Can I connect this cable to Android TV box? By the way, Android TV box has several audio output settings: AUTO, PCM, HDMI passthrough, SPDIF passthrough. Your method of AV2 output doesn't work.

I just disconnected the HDMI cable from my Android TV box because my Android TV box doesn't supports A/V & HDMI simultaneously. I then connected a wire with 3.5mm jack on one end & 3 RCA cables on the other end to the AV input of TV & then connected another RCA cable to HTS. Thus, my problem is solved.
