He posted time stamps. That was cool
When I thought I was Smart 🤦🏾♂️ thanks bro
I have checked out 3 other videos's on soundbars and yours is the FIRST one that shows not only how to connect a soundbar but showed all other options. Thanks for getting what people need and doing such a great job!
Great video, clear and concise. Now I know where I'm going! Thanks heaps! 👍🏼😎
Wow, finally a video that's simple, straight to the point and answered my question. You also covered all angles which is important.
Mission accomplished !
I have two speaker boxes with two wires coming out of each, which are bare wires at the ends. Is there any way to wire then to an amp so I can connect them to my Sony Bravia TV? Thanks

Thanks man very much for your support 👍easy professional explanations!!!
I have NO computer skills at all A friend came and hooked up a TV screen to my computer for me but the sound was horrible all the way up So I watched your video and actually understood it (I'm 65 and computers are not my forte) I figured out that I had to switch to my old speakers system which for me was a Realtek High Definition Audio. Thank you so much for the informative video.
This makes me very happy to hear!
Great video...I've been trying to find how to connect my tv to my new Yamaha stagepas 1k, but I haven't found any videos about it...I ll follow your TOSLINK tip. Hopefully it'll work, but I ll have to use and adapter for the 1k
How did it go??
Hi once again this is Lloyd waiting for your advice and video for my satisfaction and to give you applause and praise
Super! And don't forget..to go to your tv settings and change to external speakers if you don't hear the sound right away!
By far the best video(s) when it comes to these types. Thank you

This video will be usefull in the next 10 years
Wow this video was very well put together!!! Best and most helpful video I’ve seen!! 100/10
Thanks 🙏!
After many videos...yours helped me...thank you sooooooo much
I CANNOT BELIEVE this guy only has 10k subs. AWESOME VID.
Most simplest but helpful vid on KZhead
That’s the goal! Thanks🙏
Well I say this is the best video on "how to hook up your stereo multiple ways " for dummies 😀 No really great video, I'm watching you on my phone that's hooked up threw an older surround system AND streaming it to the TV threw chrome cast! How do ya like them apples!? I still have yet to hear it correctly 🤣 😂 I need help with this please 🙏
Hey Inka did you figure it out?!
Very helpful, thanks
Thorough video, well done! Question: Presently, I have my TV connected to my Active speakers AUX to PRE-AMP (via RCA), PRE-AMP to speakers (RCA to RCA). Was thinking of switching it up to TV OPTICAL to PRE-AMP (via DAC, optical to RCA), PRE-AMP to speakers (RCA to RCA). Do you think there will be any noticeable sound difference starting from OPTICAL instead of AUX??? Many thanks in advance!
You saved me so much time and frustration in under two minutes. Thank you so much!!!
concise and easy to understand. love you !
Sweet!
You’re a genius. Thanks, man. I bought a 75” tv with out noticing that it didn’t have RCA. Now I’m good to go. 🙌
Perfect!
Thank you very much for this.🖖🏿🤓!
Perfect video - The best instructional video I have watched!!
Wow, thanks!
Great tutorial..Thank You!!
This was very helpful...I have the cable box as the receiver/amplifier with 2 speakers going like you showed..is it safe to get a splitter and add 2 more speakers?
Yes it's safe
Clearly explained about the various speaker connections👍 I am now clear with RCA connection. do you recommend any mini amplifier? Looks like I need to get one.
Hey Ram. kzhead.info/sun/kpmHo9yPgHloemg/bejne.html this video goes in depth with a mini amp. And here is a link to the one I use amzn.to/31abjLM it’s not very very powerful/loud but gets the job done for me.best of luck and enjoy your new sound!
Helped heaps thanks
If I go with the TV to Amp to Speaker method, will I be able to control the volume via the TV’s remote when set to external? I’m referring to a mini amp with no remote sold on Amazon.
How do i connect the LG 43LF540V to an S-Master digital amplifier
very very informative
Great video! I would like to try to one more option but not sure if it's advisable. And that is to split my RCA component cables from my Satellite cable box. Meaning send Video (yellow) to TV and RCA(red/white) to 3.5 AUX speakers. Would that work?
You got it! That's actually what I tell people to do if their tv doesn't have audio out ports -in this video kzhead.info/sun/dteBntWRfp6anWw/bejne.html
Any idea on the course of action for installing a Logitech X-530 set up into a Panasonic Viera flat screen.
Thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Hey so I got question… I have older surround sound speakers with bass speaker (no longer have reciver)..These speakers have bare wire speaker cable ports + - .. so my question is can I connect them to my tv using a RCA to speaker wire adapter . I work tie the speakers together snd then splice them to an rca cable and plug the rca cable into the tv .. think that would work ? But my other question would be how would I run 2 rca for “stero” sound and not mono? Hopefully explained it somewhat right.. lmk if you have any ideas
Saweet video!! My daughter has a 10 year old 60” Sharp Aqous tTV in her room. I bought her the Sony STRDH190190. She loves it with her Sony tower speakers. She asked me to hook it up to her TV or PlayStation for stereo sound while gaming or watching movies with her friends. The TV doesn’t have the 2 RCA jacks just the video 1 and video 2 which won’t work. The TV & PlayStation has an optical out. Can I use an optical out to analog converter to make this work? Thanks for any help. I only have a week left to go to Best Buy and exchange it for one that will work.
Check out this video and let me know if it didn’t help kzhead.info/sun/a9atXciDnnqheKM/bejne.html good luck!
I have two Bluetooth speakers both with a single AUX in, would it be possible to connect the two of them into the TV via the optical out in the rear of the TV, so with like a splitter dual AUX to optical, it would I be better off attempting to go through the TV's L/mono-audio R ports, (i am guessing they are out ports as there is no visual indication in the rear signage), any help would be appreciated thanks.... and great video
Hey Lars, you know that’s a great idea about the splitter. I know that’s what I would try first! But let’s not forget you’ll need a digital to analog converter amzn.to/3cSMNWt for this!
Thank you for the explanation is very good One question my system is very old it's bose "life style 12 and my tv smart Samsung only 2 HDMI in (rca) 1 optical can I used a converter? Help
If they’re in then you can’t out ;( to speakers. This video shows your only other option - kzhead.info/sun/dteBntWRfp6anWw/bejne.html
Hi how do i connect my TV to amplifier? Thank you
I have an aux for both speaker and tv but no settings in Tv for external speaker
Hi Can I use DAC to connect extra sub ? My soundbar has a wireless sub but not great to provide that rumble. So how to make it happen , pls guide . Soundbar has hdmi eARC and hdmi in ports and a optical in port ... Thanks in advance
So I recently got a Roku for a Spectre tv that I got for free. Obviously the roku sound and picture comes from the HDMI cable. However, the sound from the tv speakers sounds horrible. I've been trying to get the sound from the Spectre tv to come out of my PMC speakers I have. I have a receiver for the speakers. How can I get the sound from the tv to come out of them? I've plugged in the audio out and in cable (red and white) from the tv into the receiver and have set the correct input but still no sound. Any help would be appreciated!
Great Video. I have an Samsung Qled to some powered b&o speakers via hdmi arc to digital to audio converter to rca but every time I power the tv on the sound is unbearably loud regardless of tv settings. Any advice/fix for this?
It sounds like that’s what the volume on the speaker system is being left at. Other than that, look for FIXED and VARIABLE in your external speaker settings on your tv.
@@SimpleCafeE regardless of the sound level when I power the tv off when I power back on it’s fixed at very loud. There’s no variable or fixed output option on the tv sound. So frustrating
Oh wow that does sound horrible. I can’t think if any solutions either.
Hi I have a sony soundbar A5000 with an S center out port. Sony says it's to connect their compatible tvs with S center in port. If I connect the S center out of soundbar to a center channel speaker will it work? If so what cable and connection should I need?
Complete newbie to all this stuff here, and trying to catch up quickly... Perhaps a dumb question, but is there a way to connect detachable bookshelf type speakers from a mini hi-fi system to play as additional to the main tv speaker system rather than totally replacing the source sound from the tv? Or is there some other type of speaker/soundbar device that complements rather than replaces the initial tv speaker source? (Apologies if this sounds ridiculous) BTW your video was great and received an immediate sub.
Thanks Norm! It can be done on certain TVs. First and foremost Make sure your TV has one of those audio our options. Then it’s just a matter of whether or not your TV gives you the option of putting audio simultaneously as you mentioned through the TV and external speakers. You’ll have to look in the audio settings and hope to find the option there. If not some TVs will just do it by default.
@@SimpleCafeE Thanks so much for the quick response. Much appreciated. 👍
Thanks alot
Thank you so much!
great video sir.. i got questions.. i have a home theater 5.1 .. does any of these connections allow 5.1 surround audio?? im planning to buy toslink convertor.. optical to coaxial.. can this connection support 5.1 second question does RCA cable support 5.1 surround?? thanks in advance
Is it digital coax that you’re going into? Also, RCA is one channel each. So it only does stereo (2ch). Digital cables such as optical and arc can carry more.
@@SimpleCafeE YUP it is digital coaxial so i think there will be no problem to make it sound surround yeah..
Ok cool. If that’s what you want make sure you’re converter has optical on the input side and coax on the output side.
CanI plug the AUX to RCA cable in the other way around? My stereo has AUX input, but my tv does not :S
My tv dont have aux but there is a optical My speaker dont have optical but w/ aux in and out is it posible to connect using optical fiber cord to toslink audio cable ? Hoping for ur response Thank you for the awesome videos

Hi if your tv dont have audio out also output you have only input and hdmi 1 and 2 and 1 usb in your tv what analog converter you will use thank you.because i want to connect my tv to speaker.

My Samsung q65 doesn't recognize the HDMI extractor... it doesn't show up in the sound output list like it should when I connect a soundbar via HDMI 3 Arc. So there is no option to switch the sound to HDMI. I check the extractor on my PC HDMI, and it works, but not with the TV. What can be the reason? - I tried each setting in the TV - tried via optical None of connections works 😢 The only thing, this extractor is 1080, but it doesn't say 4K on it (bought on amazon). Should it still work? Thanks!
I connected my zebronics soundbar to sony bravia tv ( SOUNDBAR ARC TO TV ARC VIA HDMI cable ) but when i connected by usbdrive/pendrive to TV and playing some movies..i m not receiving the sound in soundbar..but the TV is working fine, and youtube and netflix working fine.
I have a question guys? So I have an LG OLED55C14LB but want to connect my surround system it o my has the red and black wire (not the plug in kind). How please
Brilliant thank you very much for spending the time to do this video it’s super helpful and got my Speakers sorted thank you
THAT’S what I love to hear!
I have a question? Example I Have Pc Speakers With Usb(Power Source) and 3.5mm Headphones Jack Here the scenario: My Old TV have Audio Problem and I want to use my Pc Speakers As a External But My Old TV have only RCA Output (Yellow,White,Red) so I try buying Adapter Which is Male RCA (White and Red) to Female 3.5mm Headphones Jack... So Here my Question? Will the Speaker Work or Not and I'm Hoping It could Work. Great Video Btw it's so educational you earn my sub
Hey Protagonist thanks for the sub! Here’s the thing about what you’re telling me your tv has, red white and yellow exist in many TVs but there are two directions they can go and usually if you only have one of those sets, red yellow white, the direction ID usually for sending the signals in so you can play other devices into your tv. If you have another set, it could be ANOTHER in but will hopefully say OUT instead. If it did, you’re good to go!
@@SimpleCafeE Thanks 😊 your my lifesaver!!!
i love it
Thanks!
Question: I just received a Yamaha soundbar and a SHU sub... I tried hooking it up to my bedroom TV (Sony A9S Oled 48"), The light's are on on the Sub, I have the sub connected to the Soundbar but there's no sound from the sub. The soundbar plays but not the sub. Suggestions? Thank you Joe
The port called on the sound bar where you have the sub connected?
@@SimpleCafeE yes.. The Sub. is plugged into Power and also the Sub. port on soundbar.. The soundbar is plugged into the TV via a Optical Cable.
The equalizer is not working on the tv audio settings. Any solution?
The only thing in trying to figure out with all of these as well, is how to control the volume with the tv remote. I have some fostex studio monitors I want to hook up with the lg c3 and have it be seamless
i'm wondering the same (presonus e5) is it working with the tv volume control ?
@@gaud20299 kzhead.info/sun/e7SFg9qfanp_fK8/bejne.htmlsi=WEKyjOJPyQhwBUvk made my own video, probably not the best audio quality you'll get out of the TV/speaker like this but it works! Sounds fine to me, it is stereo after all and using streamers or KZhead anyway
Hi Sir, what if 3.5 mm output to optical connector? Any converter?
yup, they would be called analog to digital converter. like this one > amzn.to/34TjONX
Nice smear. Is this the best you can do ?
Can I connect the speaker direct to tv by using the RCA wire without an amplifier?
If the speaker is active, yes. Here a video about active and passive speakers kzhead.info/sun/lreRYNR5m5V9o2g/bejne.html
That was cool
Does the type of port determine the sound quality of the speakers?
Not as much as you would think. Basically it’s all good unless you want the most speakers possible, use ARC.
i have 2 pre existing back speakers and want to add two computer speakers in front. would it worl
Hi D Young, add them to a home theater ?
I've an RCA input on my speaker, aux on my LED TV. I used an adopter to convert RCA into aux and it works fine
Perfect! They also have cables like that.
i used same but i listened some humming..... hmmmmmm
man, i may i purchase solid sound speakers to use for laptop and for tv as well?? im not going to use laptop and tv simultaneously. when i shut laptop i will use TV for ps5 and therefore speakers to switch to tv and to be working for tv. when i m done i move to laptop and speakers to be activated on laptop.. is that possible? i dont want to buy soundbars and sound speakers seperately :((( if it is possible which cable do i need ? speakers cables should be plugged in laptop and in tv at the sime time.. how wise is this idea?
Hey Tatisha did you figure it out? sorry for late response!
Hi.hope can help me.what is the best way to connect a logitech Z906 to tv for the true 5.1 experience?
great question. for true surround, as you said, your tv must have a port to send out 5 audio channels. the ports for this are coaxial, optical, hdmi arc. if your tv doesn't have this, your next best bet would be to play from a device that does and then go from there.
@@SimpleCafeE yes..the tv has all of that..but the z906 doesn't have hdmi,only toss link ..and wondered if i get true 5.1 using the optical.i know hdmi is better but no hdmi on 906
My Tv has just hdmi and CVBS inputs while my LG boom speaker has just optical input. How can i connect the Tv audio to the speaker?
Sir I had a aux cable and mini amplifier and its speakers but how to connect that with old CRT monitor model TV?
Your tv must have a input which says Audio OUT. Do you see it?
@@SimpleCafeE yes. My tv had 4 ports they are Video in and out; Audio in and out And my tv model is LG RF-20CA30K
Take a look at this video kzhead.info/sun/kpmHo9yPgHloemg/bejne.html
Can you a coaxial cable by itself? Or do you know Rca cable also
yes you can, watch this video: kzhead.info/sun/dMaQdrSObZ1smYE/bejne.html

Not all TVs can do this but look in the audio menus and look for FIXED/VARIABLE.

Cool video but I need help so I bought a sound bar and I have a old Samsung tv like yours and mine tv dosent have optical it only has rca I tried plugging my rca Cable to the audio red and white and then put the aux in my soundbar I go on my settings and I see no setting where it says external speaker please respond
Is there only one set of rca plugs on your tv? Most likely that’s for inputting audio and video into your tv. Do you have any other ports? If not, this video shows your only options- kzhead.info/sun/dteBntWRfp6anWw/bejne.html
RCA to aux doesnt work on this vizio qr JD series... it worked on my other vizio a few years ago.. this tv has no settings for external speakers... only variable fixed.. etc
Hey can you help me? I used an rca to aux cable to plug my speakers into my TV's 3.5mm headphones jack, and it works, but there is a LOT of humming. Are my speakers broken?? Please help
Tell me the type of speaker you’re using.
Is there anyway to turn on headphone socket on a techwood without remote. Please
I’m not familiar with it myself.
if I do the HDMI conversion, will I still be able to see whats on screen or will i just have audio???
Think of the hdmi arc one as just working for audio. Separate from your regular hdmi for video.
oh well then i am screwed. it only has HDMI in and Aux in :( i used to connect my sound bar to the cable box but now the one I have I can't connect to it
Yea that sucks. What you used to do was practically what I advise to do in this video kzhead.info/sun/dteBntWRfp6anWw/bejne.html
I have the rca cable to aux and the rca goes to my tv and the aux goes to my speaker which is Bluetooth and it only has an aux because my tv doesn’t accept Bluetooth so I can’t use that. But when I connect the rca into my tv and the aux part to my Bluetooth speaker, it doesn’t work. If I unplug the rca and hold it to my skin I hear the electric currents from my body so I know the cord works, is there something I’m missing?
What does it say next to the RCA ports you are plugging into?
I just bought digital to analog audio converter for my android tv connection to my big karaoke speaker but still no sound to my speaker! Should i Connect amplier from tv optical port to amplier then to my speaker( just L/R cable)?
Hi M.C. Did you get it to work?
Still cant. Anyway i just bought Bluetooth speaker..
7:55
God thank you
Hi I was wondering is their any other way to make the sound play through the speakers if my tv doesnt have speaker select or external speaker?? Its a old tv btw thx
The only thing would be playing out of a DVD player or another device which has RCA that you would connect your speakers to and then only the video cable we go to your TV.
So it's not automatically heresy to take audio to your active speakers from headphone jack?
Nope. That’ll totally work.
What if my Bluetooth speaker is built in my ceiling and my tv doesn’t have Bluetooth. Is there a wireless way to do this to divert tv sound to my ceiling speakers? Any help would be appreciated 🙏

I have a Samsung Q60R Smart TV and I am thinking of connecting my Logitech Z623 speakers. I know that I will have to use the digital to analog audio converter. My question is, once the pseakers are connected, will I be able to adjust the volume from the TV using the Samsung remote control? Or will I have to use the volume that is situated on one of my Logitech speakers?
My question I have tv on the back is only for the hdmi connector only…..so how to connect the amplifier to my tv that have the hdmi only?
