Analog output for hifi

On my Panasonic Plasma I had an analog output for my hifi. My new OLED does not have one. I have had brain surgery and have forgotten much of my knowledge. I have a composite audio/video output and a headphone output. I know that the Headphone is a higher level out put and should be attenuated for signal output. How can I adapt the audio/video to two channel output? In essence I want the best way to get a two channel analog for my stereo hifi? It has RCA inputs

Not as simple as the Panasonic, but I have found how to set for PCM on the LG. In the user guide, go to 'Tour List of Settings', then

Quick Settings > Sound > Sound Out > Audio Out(Optical/HDMI/ARC) > Digital Sound Out and select PCM.

stanwal, you should be able to set your LG to PCM using the above procedure.

kijanki, I think the problem is that due to the difficulty in finding how to set a TV for PCM output, many just give up, and assume it can't be done. Again, I'll say that it may be possible that a TV could not be set to PCM, however this is not typical.

tls49, Thanks - that is very important info. I've spent 2 hours in the store and could not find it.  It ended all good (I love my Samsung), but Panasonics are nice.

After reading that a DAC is the way to go, I bought a Schiit multibit bifrost for my Sony TV.  Could not be more pleased after a 2 day break in. The opinions are correct, this is a great DAC.

The DAC was $600 direct from Schiit.

Set the Sony to PCM audio output, and the DAC feeds a Pass X1, Son of Ampzilla 2000, and Magnepan IIIa speakers in my high end home theater.

Wish I used a DAC instead of headphone output sooner!
