LOC for TV

Sense my TV doesn't have any audio outputs it does have outboard speakers. Anyone know if they even make an LOC for the Home Audio world?

What is your interpretation of LOC?

Sure they have a LOC for TV's... it's called a new TV

Seriously now that everyone is switching to LCD/Plasma there are some wicked good CRT's available for pennies. I've seen a Sony XBR 32 going for free (you just had to pick it up). If I didn't just buy a Plasma I would've been all over that. Even then, there's lots of stuff in the sub-$100 range, which is what you might end up paying for a LOC anyways.

Keep an eye on your local classifieds and see what you can find!

Well, the TV is a 42" HDTV LCD 1080i Magnavox. It's only weakness for me is that it has no audio outs.

We're using fans in the house (all 7 of them) to cool it down instead of the AC for as long as we possibly can and it makes a LOT of noise.

It's hard for the TV to get loud enough so I want to hook it up to the Home Theater System.

Plus, remember..., I'm unemployed = broke.

Are you using the TV's tuner, or a cable/sat box? If it is a box tuner, pic up the audio there instead of sending it to the TV. If not, then run a car audio LOC on a 12V wall wart. My guess is there are no specific home audio LOCs as most TVs have line out. Hell, my 50" plasma has optical, coaxial, and line out audio... I really surprised that someone built a recent display with no LO... It doesn't by any chance have some sort of menu option to switch the speaker out to LO, does it?
