Home theater question.

[KNO3]

So I'm trying to hook up a new TV to the home theater system and I have run into a problem. This TV does not have a analong audio out. It only has a digital audio out, and All of my devices are hooked up via HDMI. What type of cable do I need for this digital audio out to go to the home theater system?
This is the back of the TV.

Does your audio receiver only have RCA jacks (red and white)?

If that is the case, you are going to need a converter.

It has R, L, and D. I'm assuming the D is digital. It is a Bose 3-2-1 system so I'm not sure if I have to change settings on the unit so that it will accept digital audio either. Can I use the Red/White cables as a Digital audio cable? Obviously using either red-red or white-white as the connection.

I would need to know your system specs but you shouldn't need to run audio out from your tv to your system.

I'm guessing you have cable or sat? Are they hooked to a reciever? Usually the best way to hook everything up is to the reciever and then have 1 hdmi cable going to your tv for video and onboard audio.

Again I would need to know what your equipment is.

It would help to know what kind of receiver you are using. Most new receivers have at least 1 fiber optic port and 1 coaxial audio port. The port on your TV is a coax port. All you need is that coax cable. Wire it up from your tv to the coax port on the receiver. Some receivers, this port can be assigned to a source, others, it's fixed to a source, usually digital.

The coax cable I'm referring to looks like this.

Update: this cable goes to your D port on the Bose system.

Guys, read post #3. Bose 3-2-1 system. It's older and does not have HDMI.
Looks like this one. Don't have exact model number for it at the moment.

Ok. Do I have to set the bose system to use the D port?

It "should" automatically detect it. The usual recommendation is to hook the analog (RCA) together with the digital (coax). This will allow Bose to switch to analog when there's no digital signal present. Only other thing you have to do is set the source on the Bose to the corresponding source ports (aux, cable, etc).

Ok. I'll give it a try in the morning and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help.

I see what you're doing.

You have HDMI coming out of the cable box going to the TV, and running audio from the TV to the Bose receiver because you don't have HDMI on the Bose.

Here is what you can do. You can still keep the TV hooked up to the cable box, but use the RCA (red and white) from the cable box, to the RCA on the Bose. Those audio out ports on the cable box SHOULD still be active. If not, you should be able to use a regular RCA cable to hook up the digital audio out to the digital audio in on the receiver.

Edit: also, what brand TV doesn't have RCA audio out?! That seems a little premature to be phasing those connections out.
