If the TV doesn't have analog audio outputs, you will need to run the optical through a DAC. Otherwise you would need to run analog audio from your video sources directly to the 150, bypassing the TV.
Hook up Plasma TV to Audio system
I just bought a Panasonic Plasma smart TV and need to connect to my audio system. The TV has an Optical out and my Pre amp which is a TAD 150 only has RCA connects. WHat low cost connection would benefit my system. I am running through TAD Hibachi monos and Vandy 3aSigs.

I was anticipating the same as you when I got my new Plasma as I thought the speakers wouldn't be good enough for casual listening. For HT (blu ray) I simply run the OPPO directly to my integrated. If all you have is a Toslink audio out, you can try this: http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Optical-Converter-Simultaneous-Headphone/dp/B007KXI2R8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1353295115&sr=8-5&keywords=toslink+to+rca+adaptor or http://www.amazon.com/D3-Digital-Converter-Optical-Toslink/dp/B005K2TXMO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1353295956&sr=8-8&keywords=toslink+to+rca+adaptor Hope this helps. All the best, Nonoise |
