I am not sure if this is the correct NG but here goes.
I have a vintage Techics Hi-fi system that has stood idle since the
arrival of widescreen TV, mainly because it is on the opposite side of
the room.

The TV is connected to a computer that runs Mythtv an serves as an
HTPC. It has a cheap 3-speaker pc system that is an improvement on the
TV's speaker but is in no way "good".

We plan to move and I wondered if the hi-fi system could be geared to
the TV and /or computer. I am uncertain as to the best way to connect
up.

Inputs to tha ampifier are all phono sockets.

The question is, what audio outputs the TV has (if any). Some "modern"
TVs don't have an audio output, or only optical, but you can get HDMI
adapters to extract the audio from one of the TV sockets I think.

My Sony has a 3.5mm jack socket, and it can be configured (through the
menus) to act as a line output rather than for a headphone, but the
headphone output should work all right, as the mismatch in level
compensates for the mismatch in impedance.

Thanks for this but I think I really need to replace the 2:1 computer
sound system with the hi-fi system.

It looks like you have clarified this. The grren socket aotputs analog
sound and that can go straight into the amplifier.

Thank you.
