Panasonic Audio Crackles - Optical cable

Connecting the audio between the cable box and the TV is easy, if you are using one of the composite or component video inputs. Just plug in the associated R/L audio jacks in a line with the video input. If you are using the HDMI input, that carries sound on the HDMI cable. You don't need to connect the audio out of the cable box to the TC-P50C2. See the connections page of the TV manual here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/246619/Panasonic-Viera-Tc-P50c2.html?page=12#manual . Then set the TV to this input.

However, the Panasonic TC-P50C2 does not have an analog audio output. You could try connecting the cable box RCA audio out to the Bose Wave system. You will need a RCA M/M to 3.5 mm adapter cable. (Alternatively a RCA M/M to 3.5 mm F converter and an AUX (3.5mm M/M cable or a 3.5mm M to RCA F/F adapter with a standard RCA audio cable will work between the cable box and the Bose ) This may not have the audio sync correctly with the video.

The alternative is to use a digital to analog audio converter and one of the above RCA to 3.5 mm solutions. Get an converter that has an optical digital audio input and an optical audio cable (Toslink). (The cable isn't always sold with the converter.) (https://www.manualslib.com/manual/246619/Panasonic-Viera-Tc-P50c2.html?page=50#manual ) See some converters here: https://www.amazon.com/DA-Converters/b?ie=UTF8&node=3224445011 .

I hope this helps.

The TC-L55E50 has an optical output located on the rear of the TV. Simply connect the optical cable from the TV to the amplifier.

The only digital audio input for this TV will be via the HDMI input. Of course, even with HDMI in, you're only going to get a simple stereo output from the TV. You can use the analog L & R audio inputs for a very similar sound from the TV speakers.

The digital multi-channel audio (Dolby Digital, THX, 5.1, 7.1, etc) encoded in the program should be connected to a suitable multi-channel amplifier with either a TOSLINK (optical), RF (coaxial) or HDMI cable for theatre-like sound. This can be done by (a) cabling from the source (DVD, BluRay Disk, Set Top TV Tuner, etc.) directly to a multi-channel amp and speakers, or (b) from the HDMI output of these devices (DVD, BluRay Disk, Set Top TV Tuner, etc.) into one or both of the TV's HDMI inputs. This will provide only stereo sound output from the TV speakers. You should connect the TV's TOSLINK optical "Digital Output" jack with an optical cable to the amplifier's TOSLINK optical input jack to obtain theatre sound.

To listen to the program shown, you would select the amplifier input assciated with the optical, RF or HDMI input that is connected to the source (DVD, BluRay Disk, Set Top TV Tuner, etc.) if connected directly. If the TV HDMI input(s) are used, they are output to the TV optical output and should be connected to the amplifier optical input. The amp input associated with the optical input should be selected to hear the program with theatre-like sound.

Very sorry to inform you that the digital optical socket at the back of your AMW T342 is not digital in but digital out. In other words you can connect the audio output of the AMW to another device like a AV Receiver or a Digital recorder etc and not vis versa. They have not provided a digital input and unfortunately your Panasonic TV only has an optical digital out for audio .

What is the source? if you are using an HDMI connection from an HD source you should have digital audio. also, if you are connecting digital cable directly to the TV it will send digital audio out as well. check the optical cable at the amp end to see if it is working. it should glow red at the tip if it is.
there are digital input mode settings as well on some receivers. if it is set to DTS it won't work on PCM audio. if it is set to auto Digital it should work on any standard. check the PCM or DTS options in both the TV, and receiver if those settings are there.

hi,
u can connect the digital audio output (optical) to ur av receiver or any amplifier wich have a digital audio input(optica).
ok

You can purchase a brand "Gefen" optical digital audio to analog(rca output ) converter........they cost $70 to $90 just google that and you will find. If you are usind a cable or Satellite box,you could easily get the analog audio from those audio outputs to circuimvent the problem

If your tv and reciever have optical audio (square-ish hole with a red light), that would be the easiest way. Just get an optical audio cable and plug it into the optical out on the tv and into the optical in on the Sony.

Assuming the TV is up and working on its own, here's the simplest approach:

Find the the Audio Out from the TV - either an optical connection or a dual RCA Cable (probably came with the TV) and connect that to an Input on the home theatre receiver. You'll need the right cable depending on whether RCA or Optical. That gets you Surround Sound into the Receiver.
Then, connect a cable from each speaker to the marked terminals on the back of the receiver -- Front L/R, Rear L/R, Center, Subwoofer, etc.

Check out your speaker connections by trying a radio station - should play through the front speakers OK. Then switch to the input you connected the TV into. Once you get the TV Audio playing through the receiver, you can go to your TV setup screen and turn off the internal speakers on the TV.
Hope this is enough to get you going.

Can you explain a bit more please. What exactly is the problem? Are you getting any picture or audio through to the TV? Are you getting any picture or audio through to the home theatre? Have you got the home theatre setup via HDMI? Have you connected the audio from the cable to the home theatre via optical or phono? What model is your LG LCD HDTV?
I already have the manual in front of me for your home theatre system. If you can give me some more information I can help you out.
Thanks.
