Audio out to RCA input on new Sony TV's?

I use an earphone mini jack to RCA cable. Under "Audio Settings" set the phone jack from "headphones" to "audio out". The quality is very good.

My Sony HDTV has an optical digital out. I run a toslink optical cable to a DAC and then into my preamp for 2 channel stereo. Sound is surprisingly good. This would mean using a DAC and going to the "digital out" on your TV and setting it for PCM. Hope this helps. good luck.

Not sure what OP is trying to accomplish, but title of thread suggests OP's trying to send audio to TV via RCA. I think OP wants audio from his new TV to go through his $8K stereo to achieve sound superior to that of the TV. If his $8K stereo can convert digital to audio but lacks HDMI, perhaps a device like that suggested by RW might work If his $8K stereo cannot convert digital to analog, he needs an external DAC.

I am asking how to get analog out from a new Sony HDTV into the RCA inputs on my preamp.

Can I just use the headphone mini jack output on the new TV (with a simple mini jack cable to two RCA plugs} into my preamp?

Will this give good sound quality?

I do not want to go the D to A into my preamp (route) if possible.

One more time.

My $8k stereo is a ARC SP-9 MKIII, Son of Ampzilla 2000 amp and Magnepan MGIIIa speakers (no digital anything).

Can I run a 1/8" mini plug cable with two RCA plugs from the headphone out on the new TV, into my preamp, and get good sound quality?

I do not want do deal with HDMI, or a DAC.

Kr4--- What is an Audio Return Channel?

Why did new TVs drop the analog audio RCA output jacks?

Is the earphone 1/8" audio mini jack output jack the same as the old audio RCA output jacks?

Is there an output impedance difference between the new TV earphone output, and the old TV RCA output jack, which could be a problem with a preamp?
