[Shop-talk] Speaker signal out to RCA input

[Bill Rabel]

PJ -

Why not simply connect the tape-output jacks to one of the RCA inputs  
to the TV. If you're concerned about the amplifiers not being hooked  
up to anything, leave the volume control turned down and remove the  
speaker fuses (if any).
