However, I can not get my stereo to work for surround sound. The only way I can get it to work is if i hook it up with the red and white wires and hit "external speakers" on my lcd. But that shuts off the speakers on the monitor which i want to hear too... Help me out and I will give you a kiss! |

So your answer lies with Comcast. I don't require a kiss (I'm happily married ) --just like to help out when I can. |
