Re: Using Insigna PC Speakers with a TV



It doesn't look like my Sharp LCD LC-13AV1U allows for speaker output.

I have a threesome speaker set in the Subject line, and realized it might be possible to use it with a fairly modern LCD TV. The manual shows it might be done, but spares details. It looks like I'd need a female socket with two RCA jacks (for sound) at the other end. The only speaker cable coming out of the unit has a green male end. I usually put that in the speaker plug if I want to use these speakers. What's the name of the cable I need with the female plug and two RCA jacks?

Do your speakers include amplifiers? The RCA-type audio output jacks on
the TV are intended to drive external amplifiers. If your speaker system has a power cord, as most computer speakers do, you have amplified
speakers. There is no standard for plug colors in consumer electronics,
but if that male plug is a 3-conductor mini phone plug, like on a pair of
headphones, you should be able to find a cable at Radio Shack or even
Wal-Mart. BTW, you need RCA *plugs* to mate with the jacks on the TV.
