TV Headphone jack to amplifier

[Razor O Rourke]

I want to link my TV to the stereo amp on my Hi Fi. I only have a headphone socket on the TV and was thinking of getting a cable with a single headphone jack and twin RCA cables. Any problems doing this?

The TV is a 32" Toshiba. The amp is quite elderly and does not have a scart socket, though I am not keen on them anyway as they dislodge if you breath to heavily.

The rear panel has a scart, two HDMI and a VGA. On the side panel are the headphone socket, Side AV and YPbPr. There are a couple of USB sockets too.

The amp is a 1980s model, so none of the modern sockets.

And many TVs won't output via scart for some sources. This feature was designed for connecting a VCR and recording the signal. Our new TV doesn't output anything via scart from the Freeview HD channels, the HDMI blueray or the built in apps such as Netflix. This is to prevent you recording them.

Mine is the same, no joy with the SCART connection. I'm awaiting delivery of a three metre phono lead to run from amp to headphome socket.
