I remember this exact same question on 5/7/03. Back then I asked what ports
the tv and speakers have, without that information we can't really say.

At the very least the tv should have a headphone (3.5mm) port. You could
get a 3.5mm to whatever-the-speakers-have cable. The speakers could use
bare wire, phono RCA plugs, or some other connection. Its phono plugs,
IIRC, so you would need a 3.5 to stereo phono cable, avaliable everywhere.

There may be a better way. I'm affraid just 'philips tv' isn't enough
information to give the best answer.

yes they are the same like a small headphone socket.

Then you have two options. you can either connect the TV to the red/black
scockets marked R/L, or you can connect it to the 3.5mm (headphone) socket
marked front. The other three are digtal sockets, I very much doubt your tv
can use them.

So it depends which your computer plugs into, and which is still free. If
all you have on your tv to get a signal from is a headphone jack you need
ethier a 3.5mm -- 3.5mm lead or a 3.5mm -- 2phono. I wouldn't bother with
anything costing over £5 for your setup.
