I have used a B&O Core input from TV headphone output to get batter sound from my TV . It’s not grand enough to call home theatre but does an excellent jobĀ considering most TV manufacturers are more interested in slim hardware and there is no room for half-decent loudspeakers.
My TV has broken down after 11 years, and few modern TVsĀ have a headphone socket. Outputs are digital and for bluetooth headphones.
What can I do. please?

Every modern tv has an optical out.

5 August 2023 at 09:23 #22770Many thanks. Ā I thought there must be a simple answer, but have been unable to identify a cable with digital one end and the Coreās 3:5mm jack at the other.

Search for Toslink to mini toslink cable.
Kind regards,
Yann.
5 August 2023 at 12:05 #22781Also avoid the temptation to use a TOSlink->3.5mm optical adapter with a standard TOSlink cable. Ā The data stream depends on the distance & tolerance of the gap in this friction-fit connector. Ā Too little light output or too much reflection at the junction, and you lose!
8 August 2023 at 23:43 #22845Thanks for your help, guys’ I bought this from Amazon UK:Ā https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00T8HWV62?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
Unfortuately, my new LG TVĀ says *Not supported” I wondered if I had inserted the cable wrongly in the Toslink socket but if there is nothing in the socket there is no error message, but it still doesn’t work.
The TV has HDMI out and I’m wondering if I need a converter like this.
8 August 2023 at 23:46 #228469 August 2023 at 08:37 #22856A converter will not be needed – the optical cable is all you need.
Be sure that you have turned on sound out via optical in the tv menu – also set the sound format to PCM ( the Core will not support sound in other formats).
There are many explanations/videos on the internet, that explains how to. It does not matter if it is a soundbar or the Core via optical – the settings are the same.

14 August 2023 at 19:25 #22779I think the Core is indeed feeding the digital signal to the speakers, but no sound emerges. This could be because the speakers, being analogue, cannot interpret the signal. This in turn could be because I have failed to find the setting on the Core to convert Digital IN to Analogue OUT.
14 August 2023 at 20:25 #22774Hello,
I would connect products like this.

14 August 2023 at 20:51 #22773Another option is to connect to the BL2, then go from there to one BL6000 and daisychain from there to another āā- or go from the BL2 to each of the BL6000 with seperate cables.
No external switch needed.Either option is possible – depends on how the placement of the speakers in the room is.
