EE TV Box Pro

[Mosyahs]

My old BT box died recently, and I took delivery of a shiny EE Pro box.

My problem is that the old box had audio out connections for the rather old Sony home theatre audio I use, and the new one doesn't.

My problem is compounded by the face that my TV appears to only support HDMI audio out, but my Sony doesn't have an HDMI port; it does have a SCART, but that doesn't seem to do anything.

The outputs on the TV don't seem to marry up with any of the ports on the speakers.

All and ny assistance would be greatly appreciated; many thanks in advance

Looks like you have an optical audio out on the tv. So just use that to connect to your surround sound. You will need a cable like this: https://amzn.eu/d/clNwYb2

@Whittin1706 @Mosyahs  Unless the audio equipment as an optical link that will not work and I cannot see one on it ( not a great picture) but what you can get is an optical to analog converter like this one

this comes with everything you need

 Optical cable from the TV to this box then your phono leads from this box to your surround sound.  Just add power from the usb port from the back of the TV to the box to power it.   

you might even be able to get the sound from the TV to the audio equipment via a scart lead. I remember doing this years ago and you do have scart ports on both.   It just depends if the audio equipment will except audio in via scart.

This is the same as the one I linked too. Same board just in a different housing. Not that it matters, both will work.

@Whittin1706  Sorry,  perhaps should have checked your link first.    I only read what you put and went with get an optical cable.

What’s the model number of your Sony home theatre, and of the TV?

Then we can read the manuals, see what the SCART supports.

Pretty certain it’s a SCART In on the AV unit though, which can be connected to from the TV, as a SCART Out there wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense.

When checking this, make sure you are using a fully wired SCART cable though, not a one-way one.

It looks like a Sony DAV-SB100 (aka HCD-SB100), which is also a DVD/MP3 Player.  If so, that is a SCART out and thus the phono-in is the only option.

Excellent, thank you - as you may gather, I'm groping around a bit!

The TV is LED49292UHDFVP

AV is DAV- SB100

Sorry , I'm being thick - what is a 'phono'?


Many thanks

Phono is the red and white cables you currently have connected, which used to connect to the old TV Box.  I believe @Whittin1706 's solution is the best/only one.
