Solved! How to connect older Kenwood model 104 AR AM FM receiver to new Samsung 7 series UHD TV

[jboeschdds]

Have older Kenwood 104ar am/fm receiver with only red and white component Jack's and a set of green XS 8 system control Jack's at far end of rear panel that I am trying to connect to new Samsung series 7 UHD TV that has one yellow av jack. TV came with RCA 3 ( green/yellow, red,white) to 1(yellow) adapter for this jack. Having trouble setting this up to work.

Receiver has analog audio RCA inputs. Use any one but phono.
Most likely the TV will have an optical audio output. You will need an optical to analog converter and cables to connect it to the TV and receiver. Check the TV manual on how to use the optical output.

Forget about your TV yellow/red/white those are for INPUT, you are looking for TV AUDIO OUTPUT.

Look for DIGITAL AUDIO in Kenwood, if available, that's what you should use.

If no Kenwood digital audio, then next option: TV (headphone_out) to Kenwood.

No headphone_out?, last option: TV Optical Out ----> Toslink-to-RCA-converter -----> Kenwood.
