I want to use my TV's built in speakers as the center channel for my old ProLogic surround. My TV has stereo audio inputs, my ProLogic receiver/amp has only amplified center outputs in mono. I had thought about trying to take my TV apart and cutting the speaker wires loose from the main board and then running them to a jack (added by me) on the back panel, but the TV is just too heavy for me to work with due to a blown disk.
So, I thought about just making a cable that went from the amplified center out on the receiver to the audio input jacks on the TV, turn the receiver center volume way down, the TV volume way down, and then hope for the best, but I think there will be a problem with the linearity of the volume control this way, plus it just seems like an inelegant hack job.
My question is, is there a simple, easy way to convert the amplified audio in mono from the receiver/amp to a line level source in stereo? I have a center channel speaker but can't use it because it physically won't fit within 5' of the TV where I've got it mounted now.
Thanks!
