To connect your surround sound system to your Magnavox flat screen TV, follow these steps:

  1. Check the audio outputs on your TV: Your Magnavox TV may have a variety of audio output options such as HDMI, Optical, RCA, or 3.5mm jack. Check the back or sides of your TV to identify which audio outputs it has.
  2. Check the inputs on your surround sound system: Your surround sound system may have different input options, such as HDMI, Optical, RCA, or 3.5mm jack. Check the back of your surround sound system to identify which input options it has.
  3. Choose the right cable: Depending on the audio outputs on your TV and the inputs on your surround sound system, choose the appropriate cable to connect the two. For example, if your TV has an optical audio output and your surround sound system has an optical audio input, you can use an optical audio cable to connect them.
  4. Connect the cable: Once you have the right cable, connect one end to the audio output on your TV and the other end to the audio input on your surround sound system.
  5. Set up your TV audio settings: Depending on your TV model, you may need to adjust the audio settings to output audio to the external speaker system. In most cases, you can do this by going to the TV's audio settings and selecting the audio output option.
  6. Test the audio: After connecting the cables and adjusting the audio settings, turn on your TV and surround sound system and test the audio by playing a movie or TV show with surround sound audio.

If you have any trouble connecting your surround sound system to your Magnavox flat screen TV, consult the user manual for both devices or seek assistance from a professional audio-visual technician.
