Making TV sound come thru the Jensen Stereo system

edited December 2014 in Products and Accessories
I think I read some place on the forum a way to make the TV sound come thru the stereo system but I can't locate it now.  Can anyone tell me what settings one needs to make this happen?
Thanks

       I know it can be done. A person switched a few plug in cables from side of tv to different spots. Then turned on Jensen player to aux. TV  sounded great coming out of rear speakers.  I did not write down what was done  but will be going to little guy factory on another matter next week. Will find out and post to you if you haven't had a response by then.

    I am not able to. Barely can use computer. Too Old School. :)  The last drawing is the one that is accurate on my 2015 T@B TV Jenson.    The Last post is to be read vertical from top to bottom. all color outlets can be seen, start at top.     1. Red cable into red outlet.   2. White cable into White outlet. 3.Skip next two outlet  colors. 4. Yellow cable into Yellow outlet.   Done,  Last outlet is black and is left empty.        Turn Jenson system on.  Press Aux.  Sound from TV and rear speakers now sounds like stereo.   Adjust sound from remote and Jensen Volume control.     Hope this is understandable. Go slow and you can follow directions.  Good Luck  Deputydog.

    Yes, here's hoping a T@B owner can help. I'm an Admin/Moderator from the LG side and I don't have this equipment on my Silver Shadow.

    I believe that the sound is already configured to heard thru the rear speakers in the 2015 model. I was messing around with mine in the garage the other day and if I remember the sound did come from the speakers.

    my 2014 Clam Shell does not have the yellow cable and I am not sure how one would go about hooking one into the system.

    Carolyn, The yellow cable is video. You must be getting it through the antenna input. PhotoJoe

    Here are a few questions to get you started:

    • Do you have the correct "source" selected on the Jensen?
    • Do you have the correct source selected on the TV?
    • Have you changed the settings on the TV to mute sound coming through the TV (in TV set-up menu under audio)?

    Here are some photos of my TV settings, if it helps.

    I took a pigtail that had male connectors like earphone plugs on each end. Plugged one into the eear phone jack on the tv and the other to the aux in on the stereo. Bingo.

    Here is another way you can stream music from your smart phone to your TV. 

    Chromecast     is a digital media player developed by Google. The device, a 2.83-inch (72 mm) HDMI dongle, plays audio/video content on a high-definition display by directly streaming it via Wi-Fi from the Internet or a local network.

    Carolyn-not sure if you found the solution to the TV sound coming through the speakers, but try this, push the left knob in (might need to push up and down, not continually) on the Jensen until you get to 'fade' then go for the 'O' and your speakers should project your audio from the TV.  Wish I had a better description, but with some luck this might work.  It worked for me as one speaker was mute and this maneuver did the trick.  ;p

    So I finally had the time to check out the connections on the TV to determine how they set it up on my 2015 S model. The yellow cable is video in and is connected to the output of the stereo/ DVD player. The red and white are audio out and are connected to the Aux in on the stereo. When playing a DVD the audio plays through the steero only. The audio from the TV is connected to the stereo as the internal TV speakers are a bit small and have limited range.

    Mike, I picked up a Miracast device, which is similar to Chromecast, except Chromecast limits you to proprietary Android stuff, pretty much. Miracast will actually wireless display your screen from your device (tablet, phone, or laptop) to your TV. Most modern devices (Android, Windows, and Windows Phones) come standard with Maracas functionality now, except Apple, because they went you to use their stuff. The advantage is that you are not limited to apps from the store, only, you can project anything, like Office, PDFs, photos, videos, apps, maps, etc. What I really like is that if I am web browsing I can easily watch a YouTube video all from my tablet. I use the wireless display adapter made by Microsoft and it works far better than other Miracast devices I have tried.  I love projecting maps onto a bigger screen.

    For those having trouble getting the audio output from the TV to play thru the stereo, I found the following issue on my T@B CS-S with two TV's.  The exterior TV worked fine, however the interior TV would not. I found that the audio source coming from the interior TV to the stereo was hooked to an audio output (needs to be an input) on the back of the stereo. I moved the connection to an AUX audio input on the stereo and all worked well.

    Bgkirk, I gather you had to take the stereo out to determine where to connect the wiring???

    I did. A plastic trim piece comes off very easily from around the the edge of the radio, then four screws are visible. Remove the screws and the radio will slide out for inspection.

    I have followed suggestions and now have sound coming thru the speakers but I can only get sound on the outside tv (on a clam shell) if the inside tv is on? What can I do to fix this?

    Carolyn, your sound system has a setting for A, B or C.  These are your speakers.  Play with it to see which setting is for which....and if you're like me, write it down so you'll remember it for next year!
