How do I connect stereo speakers to receiver for TV audio?
Tom asked:
How can I connect basic stereo speakers to my receiver for TV audio? I have an older mitsubishi receiver. I have connected the speakers to the receiver and I’ve connected the TV to the receiver using input/output jacks using the video component jacks on the back of the receiver. I have the right component selected (Video/AUX) but I’m not getting sound from the speakers.

What could be wrong? How do I fix it?
You go to chickecheeses. They will tell you how to.
You have to put the RCA (red, white yellow) cables audio out of your tv and audio in in the reciever, if you did that, then maybe you have to change a setting on your tv, switch it from the internal speakers.

Alright ,Tom let’s get down to it. An older Mitsubishi is always a great unit. It should always work for you, so it must be a cable, or switch setting problem on the “M”. OK, first the speaker setting on the “M”. Which speaker terminals did you go into with your speaker wires, “A” or “B”?
Make sure the speaker terminals you went into in the back matches the speaker selection switch setting on front (A, B, Both, etc).
OK, now, your older “M” will not have “video” inputs on the back, and you don’t bring audio into video inputs. (read your question again) Look at your TV. You must come out of the “Audio Out” RCA terminals of your TV, and, in an older stereo, you go into “audio in”, or into “tape in” or “tape monitor input”.
Then, if you go into the “tape in”, or “tape monitor in” inputs from your TV, you must have the selector swich on your “M” set on “Tape”, because your stereo will think your TV is a tape player.
OK, something is wrong, but it’s simple. Check out what I told you, re-plug your wires/cables, and if it still doesn’t work, click on my avatar, go to my profile page, email me, and we will fix it, or else something else is broken (not likely).
I’ll be watching the question, it always “ticks me off” if a box of electronics tries to “kick my butt”.
Holler if you need me, Magyver.
