You can get an optical to coxial converter box if your receiver has a coaxial digital input. If it doesn't, you will have to purchase an optical digital to analog (D to A) converter.
If your home theater receiver has an optical audio input, plug it from the output of the TV to the input of the receiver.
To connect a Kenwood receiver model KR-A4060 to an LG TV model 50PQ20, use an RCA audio cable to connect the TV's audio output (either the headphone jack or the audio output jacks) to the corresponding audio input on the receiver. If the TV has an optical audio output, you can use a digital-to-analog converter to connect it to the receiver. Ensure the receiver is set to the correct input source to hear the TV audio. Finally, adjust the volume on the receiver as needed.
To connect a Pioneer radio receiver to your LG plasma TV, use an audio output from the receiver, such as RCA or optical output, and connect it to the corresponding audio input on the TV. If your TV has an HDMI ARC port, you can also connect using an HDMI cable for better audio quality. Make sure to set the correct input source on your TV to hear the audio from the receiver. Finally, adjust the volume on both the receiver and TV to your desired levels.
To connect a Yamaha RX-V367 receiver to an LG LD500 for surround sound, use HDMI or optical cables. If using HDMI, connect the HDMI OUT from the RX-V367 to the HDMI IN on the LG LD500. For optical, connect an optical cable from the digital audio output on the LG LD500 to the optical input on the receiver. Make sure to configure the audio settings on both devices to enable surround sound output.
Connect a audio cable from the Audio Out connectors on the cable box to the AUX In Audio connectors on the stereo receiver.
To connect a DVD player and a TV so that they can both be alternated to headphones, use an audio splitter or an AV receiver with headphone output. Connect the DVD player's audio output (usually RCA or optical) and the TV's audio output to the splitter or receiver inputs. Then, plug your headphones into the headphone output of the splitter or receiver. This setup allows you to switch between the DVD player and TV audio easily.
An optical audio cable is used to transmit digital audio (AC-3) signal from the source to the receiver, such as from a DVD player to a digital audio amplifier/receiver. You can transmit 5.1 dolby digital or DTS surround sound with an optical audio cable, same as digital coaxial audio cable.
If your television has an "audio out" or "monitor out" with an audio connection you will be able to connect the television to the desired input on the av receiver. Use standard composite audio (Red and White/Black RCA) OR if the audio output on the television is digital you will need a digital coax or optical cable.
There are essentially two ways to get surround sound out of the Xbox. Via HDMI or via optical (TOSLINK) out. If you have the component video cable, then the end that attaches to the Xbox has an optical out port. Simply attach this to the optical in on your home theatre receiver with an optical cable. If you want to use audio via HDMI, in order to get surround sound you'll have to have an HDMI receiver capable of receiving audio. In this case run the Xbox via HDMI to the receiver and then the receiver via HDMI to the TV. The HDMI will send both audio and video. If you have the official Xbox HDMI cable you can also connect the HDMI cable directly to the TV and use the optical out connector that it comes with instead.
If your TV has a digital audio output, connect it to the optical or coaxial digital input of the surround receiver. This will pass through the digital audio signal sent from a HDMI input at the TV.
To connect Bose speakers to a Sharp LC-60LE831U TV, first, check if your Bose speakers are passive or active. For passive speakers, you'll need a compatible AV receiver that connects to the TV via HDMI, optical, or audio cables, and then connect the speakers to the receiver. If the Bose speakers are active, you can connect them directly to the TV using the audio output (either via a 3.5mm headphone jack or optical output) to the speakers. Ensure to configure the audio settings on the TV for the correct output.
Your TV will not have a optical cable input. The easiest way is to connect an HDMI cable from the Blu-Ray player to the TV. This cable will have both the video and audio together. If you do not have an HDMI input on your TV, use the component video output from the Blu-Ray player and the analog left and right audio to connect to the TV, or connect the optical digital output from the Blu-Ray player to a surround sound receiver for sound amplification.
