Hi Tony,

The TV is a flat screen LCDTV with Nicam stereo speakers with
integrated digital circuitry.

The reason why I want to run the sound through the hifi system is that
the TV speakers are tinny and harsh, presumably because they are so
small. The sound through the KEFs, even though it's muffled, tends to
give a bass tinge which counteracts the treble sound of the TV
speakers.

Can you take a feed off a scart socket, and if so is it different?
Alternatively, try taking it to the CD input in case its a cruddy switch or
something. Or try connecting to the Play instead of Rec i/p's, in case they
don't mean what you think (I can never work that one out!). If you've got
satellite, use that instead. HTH
