Dear confused,

Now you have me confused. What's wrong with running the coax out of the cable converter into the TV? This is usually the preferred method, because less connections usually translates into better pictures. To run the video first to the AV pre, then into the TV is one step you don't need to take (especially if the AV pre doesn't have high-end "broadcast quality" video switching capabilities, few do).

As far as this business: "Is there an adapter I can use, that converts analog coax video/audio into composite?" I'm stumped.

Cable coax usually only carries a video signal, and that's all. The audio from the cable box will ordinarily be out of a left/right channel pair of standard RCA terminated audio cables run to the AV pre.

Either that, or this is in reality a trick question and I just fell for it.
