| 2009-11-05 | Ken | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Hi Wayne. Thanks for the thought. Of course, like going to the doctor with a pain that miraculously disappears on the way, for some sicko reason, the pulsing is not happening this morning. Hey, I'm in NY, maybe it's the World Series Effect. Anyway, if and when it does occur, I switched speaker anyway and will see what gives. Again, thanks. Ken |
| 2009-11-03 | Ward | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Wayne, thanks a lot for the response. Aprreciated! Ward |
| 2009-11-03 | TJ | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks very much. I failed to realize that I was trying to go from vid input on TV to aux input on the radio. There is a digital audio out on the TV (orange), but no stereo analog output (red/white)! I failed to realize the TV did not have both. Once I saw red and white jacks, I bought the TV. Those jacks I saw were video in! The radio only has L/R RCA jacks. Looks like I need a TV with the proper audio output jack. Thanks for the help! TJ |

| 2009-10-23 | Donna | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for the information. I'd been checking stores and kept hearing about receivers but didn't know for sure and wanted to ask a point blank question to someone in the know. Thank you for a solid answer that I need a receiver in between the TV and Speakers. Appreciate the help. |
