How to link LG 3D TV and bookshelves..

[a.kr.sriv]

Hi,
I have got LG 3D TV, and have got one pair of bookshelves. Now this TV's sound is not that good and it has only optical audio out..
Now I want to connect my bookshelves with TV.. How to do it??? What I need to buy?? Budget limit is 30000/- tops...
Friends please advice, and thanks in advance..

Could you please tell what kind/make of bookshelf speaker you are having. Is it a Active speaker (With amp built in) or is it a passive book shelf, which requires a seperate amp?

• if its an active bookshelf speaker, then all you need to buy is a simple cheap DAC(Digital to analogue converter) with a optical in. You can connect the optical out from the TV to the optical in of the DAC and take the anogue out from the DAC to the active speakers audio in. DAC like any other electronics is cheaper in US else look for second hand deals. I personally use the below one and found it to be a good value for money dac. Amazon.com: FiiO D3 Digital to Analog Audio Converter - 192kHz/24bit Optical and Coaxial DAC: Musical Instruments
• If you have a passive book shelf, then the budget will go up, as u need to invest in an amplifier as well as the DAC.

Hi jerin,
The bookshelves are passive ones...

Just now noticed your signature and saw that you already own an amplifier..So buying a DAC will solve the problem..

I have listened the JBL soundbar. I find the sound quality AWFUL to put it shortly. I strongly recommend going with a DAC. Connect the optical out from the TV to the DAC, and the DAC's analog output to your Yamaha Amp. Even a basic DAC will do.

Alternately you could go with a basic HT receiver such as one from Onkyo. The ARC over HDMI will send the sound from the TV to receiver. Just ensure both your TV and the receiver support ARC. This will also give you an option for future expansion when you want to add more speakers.

Any new amplifier or speaker will be not acceptable... WAF is not good.. In fact it is verry bad..:sad:
