Bought a Sony AF8 55TV it says I can use the Av 3.5mm AV in for my Monitor out on my old Sony sound system. I had a compatible Samsung lead that worked when used with my Samsung tv setup. When I tried to plug in to the Sony tv it doesn’t work. Curry’s answer was my old system is too low output for modern tv. Any ideas or do I need to update a good audio system?
Have you tried changing the Audio settings on your AF8? Here are most of the available settings related to this connection on your TV: https://helpguide.sony.net/tv/faep1/v1/en/04-04_02.html. I'd recommend that you try adjusting them and test the outcome.
Thanks, Tried to adjust all Sound settings but made no difference. As I am only connecting the monitor out to the AV in yellow/ blue phono, I did think it unlikely?
Yes, I did switch to AV setting on TV as I believe it’s the only way to see the AV input. Not aware of any other way? Is there a phono converter to hdmi that is recommended instead of using the AV input?
Well, judging by how you got them setup, I don't think that this setup is compatible with the AV IN input on your AF8. The manual says on page 11 that the AV IN input is meant for composite connections (3 jacks cable for video and left and right audio channels). And I don't think an adapter for such complex connection would work properly as well.
It certainly doesn’t work a pity that a Sony DVD player can’t be used with a Sony tv. The connection works with my Samsung Tv using the same lead into its 3.5mm av in. I personally don’t think it’s a composite as the audio and the sound are separate. The Sony player monitor output spec says it is video 1v p-p into 75 ohms. Thanks Bob. Sent from my iPad
