LED TV Audio through Home Theatre

[sumantra1961]

Folks, my Panasonic 43D350DX has a socket for Headphones as well as one for Digital Audio Out. For playing the audio through my Home Theatre, I can use the Headphones socket (using a 3.5 mm to RCA connector) but that means I cannot shut off the TV sound fully. The TV remote controls the sound, so to speak.

If I want to use the Digital Audio Out socket, can someone please help with the kind of cable I need? Do I compulsorily need something like this as well -

Thanks in advance!

You can go into the TV options and turn off the onboard speakers.

Other that that, yes that device you linked will work to get the optical out to connect to whatever you are using with the headphones.

Thanks! Unfortunately the Sound Menu does not include an option to turn off the onboard speakers. I can mute them from the remote but, in the "Headphones" mode, that shuts off the sound completely (on the Home Theatre as well).

It looks like the converter is the way to go, I'll have to use a Coaxial though cos that's what the socket looks like.....Cheers!
