Ok, recently we (my family, I'm a teen) got a surround from a friend. We decided not to connect it to our main TV because it was a system where the DVD was the tuner, but we already have a DVD player (VCR combo so we needed it out there to still watch old tapes). It was from 2001 anyway so we went out and got a new one and hooked that up (easy enough). NOW, we are thinking of putting the older one (as our friend didn't want it back) in the computer/videogame room.
The problem is, this TV has set of composite IN connections.
Here's what I'm getting at: for the main room system, it was easy since we have a cable box. We just connected audio and video from that to the tuner, then video from the tuner to the TV.
But in the computer room, the signals enter the TV straight through a coax(cable) line, and the composite connections are IN, not OUT. How do I set this up so that the audio signals (which are normally carried into the TV via the cable) get into the DVD/Tuner and out to the speakers, while the video still makes it to the TV?
too bad I have to hook it up this way, because I don't see there being a way to have the playstation be able to be surround (which is really the only time I use the TV)
I'll see how things go, but I have a feeling we won't even bother with it.
