How do I connect my old kenwood receiver to newer vizio

[Ambros18]

I have an old Kenwood KR-A5040 receiver that I'm trying to hook up to my 60" Vizio model #E601i-A3 .. My goal is to have my Sony speakers model #8843834 run through my TV. Any suggestions or help would be amazing seeing that I am not that great with this stuff. Thank you!

That TV has stereo RCA (red/white) audio output near the ethernet port. You can connect those to the Video 1 or Video 2 inputs on the Kenwood.

You need two of these.

You need to connect them to Phono IN.
Red to Red, Yellow to Yellow.

Not PHONO in but Video 1 or Video 2. That Kenwood doesn't have Phono in based on the pictures I found.

The copyright notice was covering the words and I didn't see it ... But, you would still not want to use PHONO input. It is intended for a much lower signal level than the Video1 or Video2 inputs.
