TV to Micro HiFi to get better sound?

artha

I've bought a TV(Toshiba19BL502B) for use in the kitchen. We have a Phillips Micro HiFi (DCM2055). I was hoping to improve the TV sound so tried taking the headphone output to the Micro HiFi MP3 input(only input) with a 3.5mm jack lead but it doesn't work. There doesn't seem to be any sort of signal transfer even with volumes at max

Am I flogging a dead horse?

Did you remember to set your micro to MP3 input ?

And have you tried using headphones in the tv socket to confirm that it works ?

Some TVs have a menu option to select headphones, it's not just a case of plugging them in, as it used to be....

Check TV instructions.

Is there no other audio output on the Tosh? What socketry does it have?

Thanks aerostar/googler. Headphones worked. Old computer speakers worked. Looks like it's the lead:mad: should have checked that first but it was brand new from Tesco:o. Looks like that's going back.

Thanks again for replying
