Analog output for hifi


On my Panasonic Plasma I had an analog output for my hifi. My new OLED does not have one. I have had brain surgery and have forgotten much of my knowledge. I have a composite audio/video output and a headphone output. I know that the Headphone is a higher level out put and should be attenuated for signal output. How can I adapt the audio/video to two channel output? In essence I want the best way to get a two channel analog for my stereo hifi? It has RCA inputs

Plain DAC might not work since many TVs, includingPanasonics, output Dolby.  By default they output Dolby with ATSC and PCM with NTSC.  They don't have menu selection.  For that reason I got Samsung.  Check, if your TV has Dolby/PCM menu selection.
tls49, My daughter's Panasonic does not have menu selection.  None of Panasonics in ABT Electronics store had it.  Same for LG.  We checked manuals with specialist in the back of the store.  This problem with Panasonics was mentioned in many threads.  Below link to manual of new 4K Panasonics TVs:

On p.54 it states that:

When ATSC channel is selected, the output from DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack will be Dolby Digital.  When NTSC channel is selected, the output will be PCM.
 


tls49, Thanks - that is very important info. I've spent 2 hours in the store and could not find it.  It ended all good (I love my Samsung), but Panasonics are nice.
