[sci.electronics] Stereo Output from a Sony TV

lsls00@iliad.kodak.com (Ilia Levi) (11/15/90)

A friend of mine has a Sony TV with stereo output. When he connects it
to his stereo's Aux inputs, the sound from the stereo is very quiet, unless
he turns on the TV's volume all the way up, Of course he has a major surprise
when he goes back to TV speakers. :-)
Any ideas? The person from Sony said that all TVs are like this because
the signal sent to the output jacks is too weak.

Thanks for any info.

 Check the levels, but a cheap magnetic phono preamp might boost things up
to a reasonable level.  There is probably a better solution, but this ons 
easy.  But watch the levels, you might cook you Stereo Amp.
