Connecting my DVD RCA jacks to the Aux-In of the Stereo
Hey Geoff, Sounds like a menu issue with the DVD player to send the
output to the stereo perhaps. If the TV output comes through on the stereo how about running the DVD player to the TV input then output to the stereo. We have the Samsung DVD player and the DirecTV receiver connected that way with no issues. Does the stereo have a aux input jack on the front for a CD or Ipod? If so try an adapter to go from the RCA to the small plug. BTW, Where are you. Haven't seen any posts on &knots.

I want to have stereo output through the stereo instead of utilizing the TV speakers. The DVD player has RCA jacks for audio output and if I connect them to the Aux-In of CD player, all that I get is a loud buzz. Connecting it to the audio input on the TV works fine. Plugging other devices into the Aux-In is fine, but not the DVD player. Any suggestions as to what I have to do to make this work? -- Geoff |

The DVD only has RCA jack outputs. It plays fine through the TV but
when we try to play it through the Aux In on the stereo it just generates a buzz. The TV has no audio outputs. I think that we have some mis-matched impediances. -- Geoff P.S. We're headed to the boat next Wednesday and then you'll see new 7knots logs. We hope that all is well with you & Susan.

I think that we have some mis-matched impediances. Buzzing indicates a ground loop. Mismatched impedance will manifest itself as weak/loud/distorted sound. Google for "audio buzz ground loop". -- Kees |

Thanks for the pointer. In this case the DVD runs off of the inverter @ 120V AC and the stereo runs off of 12V DC. Are you suggesting placing an isolation transformer on the DVD player? -- Geoff |
