Exactly, I want to be very careful about not overloading the TV's inputs with
something already powered by an amp, especially if it the volume gets turned
up accidentally or something.
I think I'll go with the headphone jack idea, since it will be cheap and easy.
That way I can also use that same jack to plug in my iphone to play music,
etc.
But now my other thought is that I'll need to have the TV on just to play the
radio... it's an Energy Star rated TV so it's probably not using that much
power, but it may be a compromise I have to live with.
Thanks all
PJ
