Is their a way to connect a S/PDIF cable from a HD TV to a sound system that only has an AV jack?

Question

I am trying to connect the sound from a Playstation 3 which is connected to a HD TV with a HDMI cable. I have a S/PDIF jack on the TV. I want the sound from the HD TV to go to a Hi-Fi system which does not have a S/PDIF jack, only AV jacks for sound in.

Answer 1

Check to see if the TV has output jacks. They should be standard RCA's and would be red and white. Just connect that to the stereo. I can't imagine any HDTV without them. I work for Radio Shack, and every new TV has audio output jacks. Look a little harder. If not, simply plug a cable into the headphone output and feed that into your stereo system. As an alternative, check the play station for analog outputs.
