amm;254833Connect the red/white audio outputs from the TV to an open red/white analog input on the receiver, assuming you have any.
ok the speakers only work with the dvd or cd and i want them to work with the tv as well.
If your TV doesn't have the aforementioned red/white analog audio outputs, you can't do it. fuggedaboutit.
Use red and white monitor out to aux1 on the Coby.
You should be set.
the monitor out has yellow , white, and red . can i only use the red and white?
Yes, just use the red/white connections from your TV and hook them up to the aux input on your theater system.
For the DVD player video connection to the TV I would use component video (red, green, blue).
Here are the cables you would need.
