Do you have an old stereo system? Take advantage of it by attaching it to the television for better sound!

Step

Step 1. Place the stereo unit near the TV, then plug it into the mains

Step 2. Pull the red and white TV output RCA cable and plug it into the RCA port on the back of the stereo system

Select an unused input. CD, AUX, Line In can be used, but avoid input record player (phono).

Step 3. Select the stereo mode on the TV

Step 4. Place the speakers around the room

Plug it into the output on the stereo unit, then hide the cable under the rug or anywhere else you like.

Step 5. If you are confused and don't have a TV manual, search the internet for the manual by the model number of the TV, or search carefully for the input, output, and model number of the device using a flashlight

Some jacks may be hidden on the back, or sides, or both, or in front of the TV.

Tips

True surround sound requires a receiver or device capable of decoding the surround sound signal. Connecting older stereo speakers to a television is a cost-effective option. Although the sound is not true surround sound, the sound quality is still better than most television speakers
