Title: Are there any AV Home theatre "GEEK SQUAD" type folks?
Post by: zieg85 on May 17, 2025, 02:35:48 pm

I purchased a new 75" Samsung TV and just assumed I could get analog audio out to hook up to my older 5.1 Yamaha for the audio only.  Can anyone shed some light on what I may need to do what I want.  Thanks in advance

Most new TV's are Bluetooth and don't use the old school audio outputs. Is your receiver RCA input? What inputs does it have and what outputs does the TV have? You can use converters and even a BT receiver.

My receiver has RCA/S-Video inputs.  New TV has HDMI EARC and Optical port.  I did try a 1080P HDMI Male To 3 RCA Video Audio AV Component Converter Adapter Cable HDTV but it did not work.

Hey Zeig,

Sounds you're using the RF input on the TV as the source video, with audio back to your receiver? Or do you use outboard video sources, i.e. AppleTV, Cable or Satellite?

The BT device sends stereo, so will not deliver any surround sound encoded in the program.

Your 5.1 receiver most likely has a coaxial and/or optical input for multi channel playback. If only coaxial, there are optical to coaxial converters. Look for Vanco for options.

VZ's suggestion is a great solution, I will use it on car/truck applications. Thanks VZ!
