hi guys. trying to connect my new(ish) LG tv to my old Teac ah500i. i have read through some of the threads on here and came across some advice that helped someine by way of using the head phone socket on the back. i have tried this but sound only comes out of 1 speaker. now my question is. my tv has a digital optical connection at the back and although my amp doesnt, my cd player does (matching teac model) will this work?
 
Solution
If your TV has a headphone jack on the back that should have worked.
Was the plug seated in the jack firmly?
A bad cable would cause the problem.
Connecting one RCA plug into the wrong jack on the Teac would cause it too.

not yet. I have ordered some new cables aswell as an optical in the hope the problem would be with them. i will check that in rhe morning. thank you. the cables I have are 3 to 3 with a 3.5mm adapter. when I used the 3 to 3 without the 3.5 through aux in the amp I had no sound at all
 

Cable not plug in all the way. One side of the amp is blown, tried swapping L-R?

now my question is. my tv has a digital optical connection at the back and although my amp doesnt, my cd player does (matching teac model) will this work?
Optical connector is ONE-WAY. Standard procedure: hookup all sources (audio generators) to amp. Buy inexpensive Toslink-To-RCA converter, available @amazon.
