What modern TV is compatible with analog amplifier?


Hi from NY,

My 2003 Sony Bravia TV was hooked up to my Plinius amplifier through RCA cables and worked fine. I decided to buy a new TV this Christmas. The new Samsung  6000 series TV required a digital converter and an optical cable to supposedly play through my system. It didn't work at all and was forced to return the TV. I was told all new TVs are configured like this.

I cant believe that a high end stereo system, one using RCA jacks only, is no longer capable of supporting a modern TV.

Can anyone lead me in the right direction on what model TV, even if it is from 2012 or whatever, which would still be major upgrade TV wise, that would allow me to play it through my analog system?

Am I missing something here?

Dealing with Sony customer service and Best Buy is driving me insane.

Best and hoping for some good guidance from the Audiogon community.

Thx Evan

That's weird. What didn't work?
I want to do the same and thought you just need a DAC to convert the signal to analog for the preamp.
