Philips DTR 210 to Surround Sound Problem - Home Entertainment Technology

Ryan_Gray · 06-04-2007, 13:09

Hi There,

Got a Philips DTR 210 Freeview box and i want to hook it up to the surround sound system but it doesnt have the audio outputs (RCA) that im used to seeing...

instead it has a Digital Audio Out port and i dont know how to connect this up to my surround sound system which only takes in RCA cables?

I'd assume i need a digital audio out cable one end and RCA cables the other end,

or am i wrong?

Can anyone help?

Thanks In Advance,
Ryan

Dont think you can get them though, one end being analogue, the other being digital.

Sorry misread your post.
Anyway a cable with difffent plugs will not do it you need a convertor.

To continue; unless someone knows better Digital to analogue convertors are quite expensive.
Maybe a scart adaptor with audio breakout phonos to connect the surround sound to would work.

Thats the same box and problem that i have.
Solved it by buying a scart adapter from Asda, L+R audio,
video and svideo outputs. I then plugged it into the vcr scart output.
