How connect TV output to JC2bp

You need a basic 2 channel DAC with optical input and an optical cable.

Here’s a decent budget DAC for $23 with a cable or $18 without a cable. I have one of these and it did come with a power supply but there seems to be some conflicting information on the Amazon page. And yes, you can go for a more expensive DAC, but this one will solve the problem.

The L&R output of the DAC connects to your preamp with a standard RCA audio cable.

Also, and very important - You will need to go into the settings of the TV and set the digital audio output to PCM. This is not the default setting.

Thanks! That makes sense.

You can use the headphone output plug on the Sony. That’s how I do it!
