I might have ran that one through an old VCR that        >had a coax in and out... I could hook it the converter to the VCR using the        >RCAs and then to the VHF adaptor using the OUT coax.              I did that too at times. Currently my DVD/VCR is hooked up via cable to       the TV set. Up a wall, across the attic, and then through another wall       to a Jack Plate behind the TV. PVR cables come through the floor and       it is under the TV stand.              Unless I memorize the buttons to push in order, I can't even listen       to music on that DVD player without the television being connected       and on so I can see the menus. The DVD and VCR use my Stereo system       for sound but the TV is across the room from there..              I don't use high end stereo sound with the TV but it has special       dual speakers built in that do amazing things with sound on       Movies or shows that have surround sound built in. A sound can       seem to be coming from 10 feet off to the side of the TV set.              ---        * SLMR Rob * DOS=HIGH?!
