How to Hook Up a Philips TV to a Stereo
A television set's built-in speakers will never sound as good as a stand-alone stereo system with external speakers. You can hook up the audio from a TV, for example, a Philips TV, to a stereo system to improve the audio quality you hear. You will need cables that can be acquired from an electronics store or a computer store. No special modifications are made to either the TV or the stereo.
