Anyone out there know if there is a device that will allow for me to hook up a TV's audio to a receiver on a TV that doesn't have audio out put and without using a VCR? I would think there should be a device like that but can't seem to find one. I realize that I'm not going to have 5.1 audio or anything like that but I have an older 25" TV that I want to use through a receiver and speakers I have since the built in speaker sounds like crap and I don't want to but a VCR if it can be avoided.

what kind of input are you using? If it's cable, you basically have to get an RF to AV converter of some kind, which really needs to be tied to the tuner portion of the RF sigal so you can select what audio you want. Hence the VCR option.

Other than that, unless your signal source is already split into A/V, you are going to have a hard time. Cable box would work too..

sounds like it could work. You would need to have an audio out (red and white) on the VRC and then a video in to the TV.

why not just use an rf modulaot to convert your cable over to composite? Run the audio to your receiver and video to your tv.

A VCR is your best/cheapest bet. If your tv has no output built in. A vcr is exactly what you want besides the fact it can record tapes too:D
