Method #2: Use your receiver’s “TV” input port. (If you only have a headphone jack, use a headphone-to-RCA adapter to connect it to an empty analog input on your receiver - no surround sound, but it should still be better than your TV’s built-in speakers.)Īll the methods below are preferable to this one, if possible. This is also the method to try if your TV does not have a digital audio out port. This method is okay if you have a newer TV but an older receiver. For Netflix and the like, that’s not such a problem, but for others, it might be. You will only be able to see video provided by the apps themselves. You won’t be able to use the TV apps concurrent with video from your cable box or blu-ray player. The downside: It’s a pretty crappy solution. The upside: You can do this with just about any receiver, even a really old one. Simply plug your TV’s audio-out into an empty input on your receiver (preferably one set aside just for audio, like the CD input.) When you use your TV’s built-in apps, just set the receiver to that input. ![]() Method #1: Treat your TV as a separate audio component These can work too, but the sound won’t be as good. And if you’re really desperate, you can use your TV’s headphone jack to get audio back to your receiver, but you can forget about any kind surround sound at this point. Note #3: If your TV does not have any kind of digital audio port - and you’ve really, really looked for it - it might still have analog audio outputs ( see photo).
