I have a old tv (Sylvania) with just audio and video inputs. Is there any
way to hook up a philips home theater package to it??

Thank you for your help!!!!!

If your home theatre package has the same kind of video connection that your
TV has, then yeah. What kind of video inputs does the TV have? It's
probably just the RF cable and a single composite cable, I'm guessing. So
the video would probably be the composite video cable from the
player/receiver to the TV, and the audio would go from the player/receiver
directly to the 5.1 speaker setup.

cheers,
vij

The red and white are for the left and right audio cables. The yellow one
is for a single composite video cable. And the S-video one is just that.

So for video, use an S-video cable going from your HTB to the TV. If by
some wacky chance your HTB doesn't have s-video out, use a single composite
cable instead.

And for audio, it's already done. The 5.1 speaker setup is connected
directly to your HTB.

Boom! Done!

So tell us how it looks/sounds . . .

It doesn't work. My tv has audio and video inputs and the cable hooked up
in back for cable tv. I'm lost and also thanks for your patience. I want
my cable tv audio to come thru my htb.

thanks again for all your help.
