how to get stereo sound from my tv cable? (1 Viewer)

Hi,

My vcr is mono. Is there any way to get the stereo channels from my TV coax cable into my H/K 5.1 receiver for tv sound? My tv does not have an audio out.

The receiver will not decode stereo.If your cable box doesnt have stereo out(many dont), I would suggest picking up a new VCR. They can be had relatively cheap(less than $75)or maby even a good used one at a yard sale or pawn shop.

Thanks Bill, I figured that was prbably my only option

Some TV's like my direct-view Toshiba, will take a coax cable input and then provides a L/R audio OUT that I can run to my receiver for amplification.

Even though I can do this, I still use my hi-fi VCR to get stereo from my cable feed.
