TV surround sound help.

[Papa-T]

So, I have a Jensen TV and my stereo system is SSL ml41b. I know how to play music from my phone on Bluetooth changing speakers from inside to outside. Now, the only way I’ve found to listen to my TV with the surround sound is to use a double single male adapter cord. Plugging one end into the auxiliary-in on the bottom of the TV and the other end into the auxiliary-in on the front bottom right of the radio. The surround sound works that way but I cannot stop the sound from also coming out the outside speakers. I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried the Fade, and balance with no luck. Not sure what I’m missing. Or is there another way to play surround sound without the double male cord. It also came with a double usb cord but haven’t been able to play surround sound on the TV with that. Also, I should mention that when I play music from my phone through the Bluetooth on the stereo; when I use the fade button to only play on the inside, I can also slightly hear it from the outside speakers. So, I’m now wondering if it was wired wrong! Any help would be appreciated.

Pull out the radio and see if there are any "out" audio jacks on the back of the radio to connect to sound surround.

There is not an audio out. There is one on the front of the radio and I can hook into that with a male single plug and hook into TV in with the other end which also is a single male plug. The problem is the wires on the back of radio show front and rear speaker and nothing showing outside speakers. I can get surround sound but I can’t seem to balance or fade out the outside speakers when hooked to surround sound. So, I’m assuming they’re tied into the rear speakers or both front and rear.

This is the rear of the radio and it shows two audio outs. Is this what you back of the radio looks like?

[Papa-T]

Yes this is mine. Top white is labeled (Right). Bottom red is labeled (Left).

Ok I can get surround sound to work by using the Aux in on the bottom right front of radio under the usb. The problem is I can’t get the sound to stop coming through the outside speakers also. I’ve tried balancing and fade but seems the speakers (outside) are wired into the others or wired all together. The wiring of the speakers on the back of the radio are labeled Right rear, Right front, Left rear, Left front. Nothing about outside which makes me think the outside speakers are wired into the inside speakers probably somewhere in the ceiling.

Would this cable work to connect to back of radio to TV???

It may just be a normal function of the "Surround sound" that all speakers will have some level of output, regardless of fader and balance settings...
I'm thinking that if you have the ability to turn 2 of the 4 speakers completely off, your basically not using a true surround sound playback.
I know that when using surround in my home theater room, certain settings make the rear speakers seem to disappear, but if you move in close to them, they are still playing, just at a very muted level.

Can't you break the line to the outside speakers and put a, on/off switch in?

[Papa-T]

You might be right Rrizz. And Lloyd that’s something I’ll need to look into when I get home. Here is the speaker diagram on the rear of the radio. I have four speakers inside the camper and two outside.
