Here is my problem, I bought a home theater from wal-mart and I think I may have purchased the wrong one. (I can’t return it, it has been too long) My tv has speakers that are external and are connected to something like this: http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/images/G13930B.jpg

This tv has no audio out aside from cables like that, here is where it is messed up. The home theater has these as the input from the tv: (Note: the one on the bottom, the Red and white input)

My equipment:
~42″ Plasma Magnivox TV
~RCA Home theater (RT2770)

Can anyone tell me how to hook this up, I have tried my local radio shack and got a cable that I rigged to fit both ends but nothing comes through. Are audio wires different then any old wire?

Thanks in advance, Dan.

Does it hurt audio equipment (cables, microphones, effects pedals, etc.) to be in the car during cold weather?

I play music a lot professionally, I have a tub of cables I usually leave in my car. It generally holds two microphones and a couple of effects pedals, along with numerous cables and incidentals. I leave this in my back-seat pretty much all the time.

I would not ever leave one of my amps in the car or my PA head, but I do leave the tub of cables. In the winter it gets pretty cold in the South (not usually really freezing but cold) and in the summer it gets really hot. Am I risking my gear by leaving it in the car 24-7?

Thanks!!!
