Depending on the audio output options of your TV, you’ll need the appropriate cables. Here are the common cable types you might need:

On your TV, locate the audio output that you’ll be using for the connection. If you’re using a 3.5mm headphone jack, it’s usually located on the side or rear of the TV. For RCA outputs, they are typically found on the back of the TV.
5. Connect the Cables
Depending on your TV’s audio output:
- For a 3.5mm headphone jack: Plug one end of the 3.5mm stereo to dual RCA cable into the headphone jack on your TV. Then, connect the RCA plugs to the corresponding red and white inputs on the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 control pod.
