| OKay I just a new audiovox home theater system, its only 200 Watt so its nothing special but it works fine for my bedroom. Anyway it seems that I want it to use its speakers for my TV also and to do this it says I need a VCR. I don't need or have a VCR and don't want one. I currently have the PS2 connected to the set of AUdio/Video hookups on the back on the DVD. On the other ones I have the TV plugged into. You will get what I mean when you look at this manual http://www.audiovox.com/manuals/owners/DV1532 ENG.pdf Page 13 is where it tells you that you need a VCR to use the Surround sound for viewing TV Programs. Anyway do you guys see anyway of making it so I can use the surround system for watching TV beside using it for DVDs and my PS2?????? THANKS IN ADVANCE |

If your TV has a headphone jack, you're in quite a bit of luck. You can get a cheap cable that'll let you connect that to the stereo's A/V in, which will also let you use the TV's remote to control its volume. If it doesn't have one then not only would you need to use a VCR but you'd need to have it change the channels instead of the TV.  |

| If you're pretty sure you'll be getting one with audio outputs, just wait until then, as it's the easiest and cheapest way to go. I have all my consoles hooked directly to my TV via switchboxes, and my surround system connected to my TV's audio output (it's an older Dolby Pro-Logic system, so it only uses the standard left and right cables for input). This allows me to listen to both TV programs and video games through either the surround system or the built-in speakers (ex: when my brother's asleep). I just turn off or mute whichever one I'm not using. Beware, though: some TVs will adjust the sound output to account for sudden changes in volume (for example, going from a quiet TV show or movie to a loud commercial). Some TVs will allow you to disable this feature, others will not, and still others will mostly disable it, but not completely. This can make video games and DVD movies that are supposed to have loud explosions and such sound really bad. My last TV, a flat-screen Toshiba, fell into the third category, whereas my current JVC passes the signal through unmodified. If this bothers you, you can get a small switchbox to swap your video games' sound output between the TV and the surround receiver. |

| Hey, that thing has some cool features... It doesn't look like you could do that with it though. See if you can find out for sure if the one you're getting has outputs; if so, just wait for that. (And like I said, even just a standard headphone jack will work. Same idea, different cable.) |
