I have attached a picture of my Phonak TV cable and the back and side of my TV. The end of my cable does not fit into any of these ports. Is there an adapter cable that might work or will I need a new TV?
In the box with the connector should have been another cable. One end squarish to go in the tv. The other end quite like the cable end you show, to go in the connector. You still have 5hat cable?

Something like this.

Exactly, that cable came with the unit, and one end plugs into the OPTICAL labeled audio output on TV
So since you have the V2 with buttons, the source and tv can be set to Dolby.
The USB port can be the power source. It most likely puts out power when the tv gets turned on. There’s a chance it’s always on but not normally.
So that’s what I do. I have both cables connected and can operate the TVC with it sitting on the tv stand. If I want to use it somewhere else then I have other cables instead of mucking around behind the tv.
That looks like what I need. Now I see why it doesn’t work. I got the TV adapter used and it didn’t come with the adapter. It does work ok with the cd player and sandisk player. Thanks

Thanks for the photos. I don’t have those adapters so will buy one
Since you can avoid it here I would really not use the optical output. Simply use the cinch (red/black) output (as Firenzel says) but buy an adapter with a male 3.5" plug that goes directly into your TV connector:
Since you have multiple audio devices that you want to connect to your streamer, consider a 3.5" “spin”:
With this setup your TV streamer will come to life whenever one of your audio sources plays.
Note that such analog solutions are far simpler and cheaper than using optical outputs…

I have three of them. They all work. I got one with my KS9s four years ago, a second with my new iSpheres and a third from my Audiologist because he had one kicking around the office that someone returned because they didn’t use it. They’re easy to come by. The oldest one (v2) was on 24/7 for four years and counting. Phonak hasn’t changed them in a long time.
THAT is very cool. Wonder what happens when multiple sources are simultaneously energized, or if one of them might be powered from a different A/C outlet, especially on a different phase 
Have you actually used a stereo 3.5mm audio input to the Phonak TV Adapter.
I am not having luck with this, and may just have to return my Rolls Gain Limiter

No, I haven’t tried to work out what happens if multiple audio sources fight it out… just use one at a time…
I am using ONLY analog input for my Phonak TV streamer, works really well. My setup is a bit more complicated though… I do use my TV Toslink output, its gets converted to analog, goes through a small amplifier and is sent to a dual Bluetooth transmitter. One Bluetooth signal goes to my wife’s Bose shoulder speakers (her hearing isn’t great either but she wants no HAs). The other Bluetooth signal goes to a receiver whose output is split (the spin), with one signal going to a standard amplifier/speakers and another signal going to a simple volume knob next to my chair, which then sends audio to the TV streamer.
Yes, ridiculously complex, due to different household members’ preferences…
Are you delaying the video to lip-sync to your audio?
But my main question, is that in fact the TV adapter DOES work with a 3.5 stereo audio input, not just the Toslink ?
I am not getting it to work.
Maybe its a PCM issue ?
If you have the V1 or V1.1 (no top buttons) then it does not accept Dolby.
Yes that same insertion jack takes either the 3.5mm audio or the little pointy optical.

Yes, I set my TV audio to minus 250 ms audio lipsync (I actually do that on my Dreambox and Firestick sources, almost never use the TV tuner directly, which also lacks DVBT-2).
Dolby could indeed be a problem (as it is for many Toslink converters)- if not, check if there is really an audio signal, using standard headphones?

I have had mine for over five years. It occasionally does the same thing. After a few days I pushed the wires in tighter and it started working! Mine also does it after my wife listens to Spotify on the TV and turns off the tv adaptor so the music doesn’T blast through my aids. I need to reboot the TV to get the adaptor to work again.
Unable to figure out my problem.
The LG tv, has RCA audio out.
The menu has multiple options to output Optical audio with or without speaker audio. I NEED speaker output for the DW.
The TV also has a BT option, and recognizes my hearing aids. I forget if it actually transmits to my aids, I think it never did. BUT that wouldn’t solve my problem, because in that mode the speakers are OFF(damn!)
So bottom line, Either, I am not getting audio out of the RCA jacks, which I would think, should always be on, when the speakers are on, old style tech, you know.
OR there is a compatibly or connection issue going from that RCA output to the 3.5 mini phono input. I guess I next step is to test the RCA to something else, but access is a bit of a pain, and I got countless other work to do. Am about to return the ROLLS unit to Amazon. It took weeks to arrive even with Prime, so guess not a priority. But that unit SHOULD do a lot to attenuate the commercials!
Yes- first thing to try is to see if headphones directly connected to those RCAs pick up sound (volume may be low, though, if it is only line-out).
Anyone know if Phonak L series or I series will link to a Resound TV streamer + … Auracast tv streamer ?
I have both L90 and Nexia 90 … currently have two different streamers … would be nice to just have one .
For steaming from TV or another device, no you can’t for that purpose, but the Auracast capability possibly if Phonak can get their ass into gear and offer the firmware update for LE Audio with Auracast, Lumity will never get it tho, only sphere and Infinio at the moment.
