Are the scarts just inputs? Some scarts are outputs as well. If they are "fully wired", there will be audio outputs somewhere on the scart, and you can get a scart to phono cable to connect to your stereo.

An alternative is to connect the TV headphone socket to your stereo.

For what it's worth, I've got my old surround sound stereo linked to the TV. I have a fully wired scart from the digibox (Thompson - nothing special) to the video (Panasonic - again, nothing special but it does have two scart sockets). The video allows scart loop-through, so from the second scart I have a cable through to the TV (the sockets are different and you have to have them the right way around). However, it is a "scart to scart and 2 phono" lead that I managed to find years ago in a Maplin shop, so I get sound on the TV or I can mute that and turn the stereo on when I want better sound.

Hope that helps a little.
