Sony Bravia to speaker system

[cschaewe]

Just bought a Sony xbr 75x850e and tried to hook it up to my amp that runs 3 external speakers , using same method that worked with my 2008 Bravia kdl model, but no sound. I think the problem is that I was attaching the red and white plugs to the back of the tv in a spot that is audio in? But there is no red and white audio out. Obviously I’m no audiophile. Any assistance would be great.

There is a hybrid headphone-subwoofer audio output jack on the side of the TV. You will need an adapter. The TV manual should describe the kind you need and how to turn on and configure the output.

I saw that, it’s a 3.5mm Jack. I was under the impression that would not give great sound quality?

You set the output to line level in the TV menu. Same as if it had RCA jacks. That's why they call it a hybrid output rather than just headphone output.
Eventually you will want an audio system with optical digital or HDMI-ARC inputs. That will give you superior surround sound.
