Hello Dave,

At the risk of you thinking me totally thick (and if you do, that's OK
by me) what do you mean exactly by " where the phono outputs are after
the tone and volume controls on the set."? I can use the hifi speakers
only, the TV speakers only, or a combination of both. (See my reply to
Tony).


TV sound in general is quite good, and you I wouldn't be that
dissatisfied with it, after all on some programs I switch on the
Audiolabs and ELS63's and they show up what's good and bad. Sometimes
the sound on DTV isn't quite the same as NICAM, but this is a bit of nit
picking. Dave is quite correct in that some sets can have the audio
outputs routed through onboard tone controls and suchlike. I don't know
the TV you have but as long as your taking the TV outputs via Phono or
other similar sockets or on SCART's and most every TV has one of they
and you are taking this to a Line or CD or AUX input then its quite
difficult to see what or where the problem should be, unless you somehow
have them connected to a DISC or as separate to a "PHONO" meaning a
gramophone disc input where strange sounds will result!..

It might be interesting to take to audio direct of a Freeview box if you
have one and some these days have audio outputs on, or a DVD player or a
digibox if you have one and see what that shows up.

All in all worth doing as the implementation of a better audio replay
system does improve the enjoyment of most all TV programmes.....
