Netflix audio through external stereo system
Posted by Chef Henry on January 17, 2012 at 09:35:20:
I've not visited your Forum before, but post fairly often at the Vintage Asylum. Recently, I purchased a so-called powered-by-Google Sony TV, the picture quality of which is excellent. In order to play the audio portion of the cable signal through my external stereo system, I take the audio signal from my cable box, and send it to my McIntosh C34V preamp through RCAs. That way, I change channels and raise and lower the volume by means of the cable remote.
I just signed up for a trial subscription to Netflix. As things are presently configured, I am forced to listen to the audio portion through the Sony's own mediocre speakers. I need somebody to tell me how I can hear the Netflix audio through my external stereo system.
I was thinking I could perhaps take the signal from one of the Sony's HDMI or optical outputs, and send it to an input on the C34V. As I envision it, this would require some sort of HDMI- or optical output-to RCA cable or adaptor. Does anything like this exist? Is there a better way? Or am I cooked?
