You can connect a television system to your home stereo equipment.
Most stereo systems have an audio input option, allowing you to connect with outside devices, such as a television. If, however, the connected stereo is not creating the audio properly you need to determine what exactly is causing the problem. Because there are few connection points, it should only take a few minutes to determine what is causing the audio issue with your connected stereo system.
Instructions
1. Look over the cable connection running from the TV to the stereo system. If the RCA audio cable is not completely pushed into all connection ports, the audio signal from the TV is never going to reach the stereo system.
2. Check the playback option on the stereo. If "Aux" or "Audio In" is not selected, the sound from the television is not going to play over the speaker system.
3. Disconnect the TV from the stereo and select a different input (such as a CD or tape deck). Press "Play" and wait to see if the audio begins to play. If it doesn't you may have a burnt-out fuse. The fuse is located on the rear of the stereo and is a small, glass tube. Remove the glass tube and insert a replacement (you can purchase replacement fuses from the same location where you bought your stereo).
4. Turn up the volume on both the TV and stereo receiver. Some stereo receivers do not produce sound from connected equipment unless the hooked-up hardware has its volume turned up in the first place.
