How connect TV output to JC2bp
You need a basic 2 channel DAC with optical input and an optical cable. Here’s a decent budget DAC for $23 with a cable or $18 without a cable. I have one of these and it did come with a power supply but there seems to be some conflicting informat... 
Speaker purchase question

How to wire my subwoofer and amp

How does my MF A308 compare to modern integrated amps in the $3000-$6000 range?
