If Lukse has a small office system where you have a CD player, usually a tuner, an AUX in and out and two speakers like the JVC one I have had for a dozen or so years. Since the speakers connect to the CD player I suspect that is what Lukse has or some variation of it. To hook up your TV use the TV's Line Out, probably a red and white RCA output, which should be labeled on the back of the TV set. Plug a pair of RCAs wires between the Line Out of the TV and the AUX in of the CD player. If there is a menu setting to kill the TV speakers you may want to use that and make the line out non-variable. That way the CD player will control the volume levels and not have the echoing of the TV speakers on the mid-range. If there is no line out on the TV then you need to go to the audio / video source such as a cable box, DVD player, or game console and use the RCA outs from the individual source and connnect the RCA wires from them to the CD player bypassing the TV altogether with the audio portion of the source. Come back for more information if this does not make sense or if I missed the mark on what you are working with. |
