According to the user reviews it doesn't have an Aux input.

That's that then, thanks everyone for your help, I tried connecting the red and white connectors to the TV and the skybox, I don't know whether it should then be stereo through the TV? When I changed channel from BBC1 I could still faintly hear the sound on BBC1 and the sound of BBC2?

We run our Sky+ box into our hi-fi, and the sound is very good indeed.

According to the "See more technical details"in the above Amazon link the Philips micro hi-fi unit has a "Aux in: Line in".

Therefore you need a cable to run from the Sky box's output to the Philips unit's Aux In.

In my case the cable has a pair of red and white phono (aka RCA) plugs at one end and a 5-pin DIN plug at the other. Other possibilities depending upon the hi-fi are twin phono to twin phono, or twin phono to mini-jack. You can get these cables in Tescos, Maplins, Pound shops and many other places.

"Aux in: Line in"

I stand corrected, found the handbook

There is indeed an Aux in, see page 19 ish.

I suspect OPs TV has more audio power than the 4 watts of the Microsystem though.

Something like this would connect them (What the quality would be like ive no clue)

The AUX is much smaller than the red and white holes

aliEnRIK

Yes I know. Its a 3.5 jack (Like a headphone socket)
The red and whites goto the skybox

The aux hole is the same size as the headphone hole, which is the same size as my headphones socket before I put it into the headphone adapter so that it fits a 3.5 hole.
