The red and white will plug into the tv, and the black end (should be green) should plug somewhere into the speakers.

will this work like tha one u showed lizard?


No, it won't work because you have a male end on the rca side, and you need a female end. (one you can plug your speakers into)
(That is if you have a gender bender [the gold thing] for the rca side, then your ok)

or vice versa... it all depends on what connection types both the speakers and TV have (or haven't). Not all TV's have an RCA Audio out (in fact, very few do; many do have RCA Audio in though). It could aslo be that he must use the Scart instead, or even worse the headphone, which is a Jack socket, not RCA, etc... etc...

That is if the speakers are equipt with RCA Audio In. It might well be that it is a Stereo Jack In...


----------------


@Helpers: how can you help if you don't know what kind of audio output the TV has? It all depends on what type of connectors there are on the TV.

@vaiper: what type of connectors are there on the TV? List them all in detail. Or better yet, take a picture of everything on the TV were you can plug something in.

Second, what type of connectors does the speakers have. Again, list them in detail or even better take a picture also...

RE: speakers help
vaiper, please use full sentences, I'm not sure what you meant then.

If your TV has a headphone jack, then you need a different cable.

If your TV doesn't have a headphone jack (likely), then you use the cable in the picture you posted.

The red and white end goes into the analog stereo audio out RCA jacks of your TV. The black end plugs into your speakers, probably into a green socket.

colors don't mean a thing... name all the plugs by name (and gender!) or take a picture.

RE: speakers help
What kind of plug is the gender bender that you have for?

One set of {white,red,yellow} on the back of your TV will be output. The yellow is composite video out. The white and red are left and right channel audio out.

The y-adaptor is meant to plug into the white and red audio out of the TV. The black end of the y-adaptor is meant to go to your speakers. Since you have a plug on the speakers, not a socket, you need a gender bender to go between the y-adaptor and the speakers.

On most TV's that's input, not output....!!!


Can we please wait and stop guessing or giving possible wrong suggestions? Wait until he lists (with the proper name) all the plugs he has on the TV and on the speakers, and that includes if it is input or output, the gender and the size (for jacks)....
