whitelightrider · 2007-07-13 12:34:15

Folks, I set up a Philips Ambilight TV and Philips Surround Sound system for a friend. The surround sound system is connected the the DVD player. Is it possible to connect the TV to the surround sound system as well? What kind of cables do i need for it?

You need a phono cable such as this. Two connectors (one red, one white) at each end. This will give you stereo sound.

it will, as long as the tv has line out connectors. May want to chack before you buy the cable

Most decent TVs will have audio out on one of their SCART sockets if they don't have phono audio out, so you can use a SCART->Phono Audio cable for this. Make sure you get one for sound from[/] the SCART/TV, as they're available in both directions and don't work both ways. There are cheap ones available though that have a switch on them to change direction, I think they're only entry level stuf though...
