How do I get a better and louder sound out of the TV?

[softtop]

It is a simple as that, I have bought a TV and knowing it was only £150 could not expect too much but the sound is low at 3w per channel. I have attached a copy of the connections available and wondered if I could attach a set of speakers a la a PC to improve things. Any thoughts? Thanks

If it doesn't have a headphone out then you could use the SCART out, you'll need a SCART phono adaptor and then the relevant cable to your speakers, problem is the volume will have to be controlled via the speakers/amp as the audio out from the SCART is usually fixed.

If I am reading the page correctly the items marked 9 has audio out, left and right (probably red and white, yellow for video). You will probably need an adapter cable to connect some PC speakers.

The sockets marked 4 are to allow you to connect a PC, to use the TV as a monitor with sound.

Doesn't look like you have any audio out sockets there only audio in from external sources. Can't see a headphone socket so that only leaves the scart as an output. You can get active amplified speakers with remote control just means you'll have a separate remote to adjust volume levels.

thank you for the advice, it is appreciated, I will go for the scart option and wander round Maplins

Just order one from Amazon and spend the change on beer.

I think that even the scart socket is input only - it doesn't read that you can use it to output a signal.

Tv scarts are normally 2 way especially if its a single one. It will have a symbol like a square with a double ended arrow on it showing its wired for input and output. A single ended arrow shows its wired for the signal to go in the direction of the arrow. Normally these are found on vcr and dvd recorders.

Ahhhhhh just looking at the pic again its got one of these new compact scart adaptor sockets so going to be a messy lot of connections but might be still wired both ways.
I have fitted microphone pickups that stuck onto the speakers but that was for hard of hearing units, same connections though but be mono sound. Was quite a few years ago mind you.

What is the make and modelof the TV or are you ashamed of your purchase?

Is the picture you supplied the only clue to connectivity?

The OP posted clear information all inputs are labelled as "accepting in"
I suspect he may be onto a loser with the scart thing though it looks like everything is going "in" to the TV I suspect that the mini scart is the same unfortunately

Number 9 is audio out, is it not? Should be able to find a speaker with a 3.5 mm jack in, surely?

NO It's not as it clearly states to connect to the audio output sockets of an external device
You are confusing it with one not built to the tightest budget ever seen

Effectively if it had a normal scart he could use ascart breakout lead thing I could even post him one have a box full of old stuff like that i try to filter out on e bay BUT his scart is as someone commentated one of the newer mini adapter type sockets - possibly somethjing similar to what is on my samsung Telly
