Trying to connect LG 37LC7D to Macbook. I get picture but no audio. Need to know where to plug RCA cables into the TV. Options are AV IN2 or COMPONENT In. Neither seem to provide audio. Other audio inputs are in use. I do have video.

Step1: At the end of your SecurityCam cable you will find three colored plugs: Yellow(Video RCA), white(Audio RCA),Black/Orange(DC Power) or identify
OR
Identify the cables at the end of the SecurityCam cable as color for video ,audio and power may vary.
Step2: Plug Video RCA plug(1) into the "Video In" input(3)(Usually located at the back of your TV or VCR)
Step3: Plug the audio RCA plug(2) into the "Audio In" input(4)(Usually located at the back of your TV or VCR)
Step4: Connect DC power plug(5) at the end of your Security Cam into the end of the power adaptor(6)
Step5: Plug the power adaptor(7) into the main power point in your wall
Step:6 If you have AV/TV with RCA sockets you will need to switch the TV to the AV change to view the camera.

Pictures is attached. Please have a look at it.

Double-check your input cables from the receiver to the LG 389. Do you have the sat. receiver AV out connected to the front AV In on the LG DRT389? Make sure that you haven't mixed up the L and R audio connections on either side. (I've done something similar with RCA cables myself.) Next, try a different set of cables.

If that doesn't work, there may be a problem with the audio jacks on either your receiver or the 389. To check, plug the AV cables from the Sat. Receiver directly into the TV. If you have sound and video, then the input jacks on the recorder may be damaged.

Try using another input. (It looks like some models have the SCART input; you may need to set the input source in the menu under AV2 Decoder.)

The fact that you have audio output on USB and DVD's means that cables/connections between the LG289 and the TV are fine.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the details of which AV port you are using on the LG389 for additional assistance.

Hello
You can surlely connect this TV to your VCR, if the VCR has AV output with it at its rear side. Most VCRs will have this video out from it. Just connect this video out connection to your LGs audio video connection by using an audio video cable. This cable will be of three conductor type and can be bought from most of the electronic sparepart shops at your town. Choose a best quality one, when you buy it. After connectiing this cable with corresponding video IN sockets at the TV, switch ON both the devices and select AV2 or AV1 with the help of remote AV source button. The AV cable will have three conductors, a flat type cable haveing red, white and yellow colured RCA pint at both end. Coincide these colours to both TV and VCR when connecting it. That is all, and you can play your favourite video tapes by VCR.


The AV cable will look like this. OK

Hi, sorry but Most LG's no longer have audio outputs. The easiest way to get it ,You need to take the audio output from the source i.e. "cable box output"..if you have of course...
However whether your TV has this output or not we need to make some tests..5 different connections possibilities provided below.
(not by priority..you can start with any of it ).Below ,there is a sample TV back panel picture as well
Possible CONNECTIONS:
1) 2x RCA ports red / white is audio out ( L + R ) of TV to Stereo..
2) You can get also the audio digital output from the TV to a A/V receiver. the tv's optical audio out is stereo only mainly designed for freeview or tv audio to be output,
set the audio ouput on the TV menu to Dolby Digital, connect a digital optical out directly to the A/V receiver to receive audio signals.
3) since your TV has :2 x HDMI, SCART, AV, Component Video, VGA-sub, USB 2.0, connections,you may use the SCART plug to get Audio output for your TV .
TV's SCART connector which has 21 pins and "2x Audio Output " pins should be in it.
you need to buy an adapter called " RGB Scart Male to 3 RCA AV Female Adapter Converter" that can easily be found any electronic Market..one example as found eBay URL is below..
http://cgi.ebay.com/RGB-Scart-Male-3-RCA-AV-Female-Adapter-Converter-/130389078197
After you get this adapter,you need to carry the audio signal from SCART's RCA plugs to your Receiver with a 2x RCA (white/red ) cable.(if this does not work ,mfg should state somewhere in the manual..as your TV's "SCART socket IN only" ) if you properly connect IN/OUT plugs you will able to get the audio signal of the TV thru stereo..I recommend 2 $ value "RGB-Scart-Male-3-RCA-AV-Female-Adapter-Converter" with IN/OUT switch on it.
4) use HDMI connection of TV if you have HDMI input on your stereo of course...
5) if these are not an audio-out on one of these connectors , so you'll need to use the headphone socket if you want to plug it into a stereo. you need a cable 2x RCA to 3.5mm Headphone jack.
( This is the last ditch solution , since it mutes the whole sound.) ..
NOTE: if you connect this, pls be careful,your TV voice level will drive the stereo volume....

Hope this helps!..if more help requires Would you please let me know the result ?
Take care and please Remember to rate/vote and give me 4 Thumbs Up for us

The converter is for video only. To get the audio as well, you'll need to connect a cable from the computer's audio output jack to the TV's audio input. The computer end will need to be a 1/8-inch stereo plug (like the one you'll find on iPod headphones), with RCA plugs for the TV. Here is one from Radio Shack, so you'll know what to look for. Connect the audio to the same AV input as the S-video cable and you'll have both picture and sound.

you need a mini to two rca plugs cable; once you have this: connect the red rca plug to the left TV stereo rca connector and, the white rca plug to the right TV stereo connector
and, the mini stereo plug to your speaker jack on the macbook You will now have sound.
then: connect the video to you macbook using another either s-video or, vga cable to the TV

No diagram needed: just connect the video RCA connector (yellow) from the player and the box to the tv using 2 separate cable plugged in separate AV entries, and the audio RCA connectors (white and red)  using 2 separate audio cables to 2 RCA joiners like http://www.amazon.co.uk/Euronetwork-RCA-phono-adaptor-Gold/dp/B000ENC20E
and plug those in the audio connectors of the amplifiers - keep the same color all the way.

Right, well, IF your TV has a DB15 Female Plug on it then you CAN, connect it up and it will work, as a second "Monitor". OR If the laptop, has a "Composite Video" a Yellow RCA socket, then you can, connect to the TV's Composite IN. & it will be a second monitor. Otherwise you cannot, the VGA signal is NOT compatible with a TV's input. SOME cards have a connector that plugs into the DB15 and to the TV, but they are "Special". In saying that though you can "Micky Mouse" things together and get an output, but it real poor quality, and disappointing results, there are various posts on the net about doing this if you wish.
Remember DRIVERS, you also need the drivers installed & setup correctly in order for the hardware to work. As a tip, When connecting to a TV, always connect like this......First, plug all cables into TV's correct Video input(s). Connect up the Sound, plug all cables into laptop, turn TV ON. NOW, start the laptop, you should now soon see the an image.
NOTE: Some laptops & other devices, have HDMI out, sometimes, the AUDIO is not passed through, the HDMI cable, & the Audio must be run from Audio/Line OUT on laptop to AV IN on TV.Also some laptops have a socket that a multi-way 4/5/6/7 pins. A connector plugs into this, you then can connect to these connections, as you would normally. Connecting this up will be easy. What you do is get a yourself a set of the right, for your setup, cables. That uses EITHER one of the formats, of these described, below. You will need, either, a THREE way Cable, or three separate " Coaxial Cored" Cables with RCA PLUGS on them. ColoredYellow, (Video) Red, & White. (Audio) AV. OR If you have SCARTConnection Sockets, it's a big Black Socket at rear of unit(s), you get aSCART Cable.& It's all inside. Now some units, use a standard calledComponent Video, that uses, a Green, Red, & Blue Plugs. Now, with the Component setup, you will also ,need, Two more Cables, for the AV Audio. these are, Red & White.(So with Component Video there are 5 Cables/Plugs in all). In any event ALL Cables go Color to Color, at each end, plugging into the corresponding Colored RCA Jacks, on either machine, or VCR or TV. Now if you have SCART, then it simply plugs in only one way. It is that simple. So connect up with the leads your set uses, and select the correct "Input" from TV/Remote, it is NOT on a "Channel" it will be on AV, AUX, and Press "Play" on VCR/DVD whatever.... should be all go.

You can check your dvd player for a coaxial or an optical sound output, then you can plug it directly to your receiver. Those two are the best options after HDMI. Another option is A/V RCA type cable, you´ll need 3 stereo A/V wires, in order to connect the 6 channels. Remember to uncheck the HDMI sound output option on the DVD menu.
