167985 2003-08-15 08:04:00 What am I missing? I tried to connect my new 32" widescreen (yippie) to my stereo using the aux input onto our old stereo and I do get sound through them but I have to turn the volume up real loud on the stereo and thus get a hum as well. Using gold tipped harmony cables from DSE.
(not component or optical just red and white cables ?RCA)


Any help? or suggestions

167986 2003-08-15 08:19:00 No amplification is your problem,
The question is where is the lack of amplification? on the stereo or on the tv. if possible try connecting it up to another stereo and see if its louder.

167987 2003-08-15 09:32:00 What terminals are you using on the TV, to get the audio output from?

Not all TVs have audio output AV terminals, but if it has it should match the Stereo Aux input OK. (Most TVs have Audio in AV terminals, but you wont get much out of them)

167988 2003-08-15 09:44:00 Nope I'm using the audio out. It has three scart connectors for input with adaptors for svideo,cvbs,rgb etc

I think it might be the amplification issue but i don't have an alternate stereo...Hmmm Can anyone think of a cheap option (as I pushed the limit with my wifey buying the tv)

167989 2003-08-15 10:02:00 check if the output is adjustable via the tv's menu's. tweak'e (174)

167991 2003-08-16 12:32:00 old stereo... aux

Now I seem to remember that things like record players used a different amplifying system (lower volume or some such).

Got any other input jacks to the stereo you can use?

167992 2003-08-16 14:50:00 Does your stereo allow you to change the aux input volume?

On my stereo this is quite seperate from the master volume, and can effect the sound quality/volume quite alot. Try having a look in your manual.
