Hope someone can help.

Trying to connect sound bar to new TV.

Sound bar has white & red female sockets.

Old TV had white & red female sockets - simples!

New fangled TV has one yellow female, & came with an adapter which has a
single yellow male joined to 1 x red, 1 x white, 1 x yellow females.

Logic told me to connect red/red & white/white ignoring yellow.

But it don't not work :-(

Have you tried to read the book of the tv to explain the function of the
yellow socket?

Traditionally yellow has been used for composite video


Do you have to select the sound output to go to the external socket rather
than the built in speakers?

Doesn't seem to be an option on the 'sound' menu to do that.
