Question:

Auxiliary cable question?

Alright so I'm not the best with technology, but I know I need some sort of adapter. I have a flatscreen samsung LN32A330J1DXA. It's definitely an older model, probably approximately 7 yrs old but I don't really know. I also have a BOSE companion 3 multimedia speaker system and sub woofer. problem is, there is no AUX cable outlet in the back of my flatscreen. The only way I can use my system is through AUX cable plugged into laptop or mp3/ipod. So what adapter do I need to have my TV hooked up to speakers and woofer?Thank you! -CP

Answer:

I hope your using a external box of some sort as a tuner like a cable or satellite set top box.If so, you can draw the audio off that device to send to your Bose system. If your already using the A/V out of a tuner box, you can either use the Bose as your primary audio system or use anything as cheap as Y cables to split the audio or as nice as a proper distribution amplifier dependent on your budget. If your cable goes in direct to your TV or your using antenna TV, Its a bit of a Challenge. I'd suspect your best bet in that case would be to buy a new TV.
You need an RCA to 3.5mm cable. The TV might or might not have an analog stereo line out. It might or might not have a coaxial or optical digital audio. If it has only digital audio out, you need either an audio DAC, or upgrade to a real surround receiver and speakers.
