Sky Audio Question

Hi there

Does anyone know how I can connect my sky box to my external speakers? The sound from my TV isn’t the best. My speakers only have a 3.5 mm phono cable, (similar to a normal headphone cable). I had a look at back on sky box and I see there RCA attachment.

If I attach a 2 x RCA Cable Leads to 3.5 phone cable and somehow get a connecter to join the 3.5 phono cables will it work?

Many thanks

Can anyone tell me does the Sky+ box only do stereo audio?

My Sky+ box (HD) has Digital Dolby surround sound, fibre optic cable between sky box and Denon receiver, stunning sound.

a standard sky+ box also has a digital optical output

Very, very little and nothing on ordinary channels is in more than Stereo.

I suspect they are amplified speakers (with volume control), if this is the case its OK.

If the OP can confirm the speakers use a power supply, they are obviously amplified.

OP can get get a cable with stereo 'RCA' plugs at one end, and a 3.5mm plug at the other end, and a 'joiner' for the two 3.5mm plugs at Maplin etc

Or you can get a 3.5mm socket with two RCA plug flying leads.

Yes the speakers are amplified. I have the cables just having trouble obtaining a joiner. Answered my question though, thanks guys.

I'll have a look for 3.5mm socket with two RCA plug flying leads
