Question

Digital Audio Out - Required Cable for TV

by mikeycginNYC Aug 13, 2015 6:10PM PDT

Hi Everyone,

One of my cats managed to rip out an old cable from the back of my TV...but part of the male piece did not leave with the rest of the cable and is now firmly lodged deep within the analog input port in the back of my tv. I have a digital audio out port (orange) but am not sure which cable I need for this, as my sound bar does not have the same digital input. I need digital for my tv, and analog for the soundbar, should I look into a converter plug? Or should I look into a new speaker system for my tv (used primarily for PS4 and computer games)

Thanks for your advice!

Let's here the full model of the TV and there are Youtubes about getting that slug out.
