About a month ago we drove by a yard sale in a nicer neighborhood and I bought a Sony STR-DG-720 AV receiver for $20. It sat for a while, then a few weeks later I bought some speaker wire at Walmart and a pair of bookshelf Sansui speakers at the local Deseret Industries thrift store for $10. I chose them because they sounded Japanese and the cones were intact.
This evening my daughters made me hook everything up. Compared to our TV speakers, it sounds great.
They bought my wife a cheap Karaoke microphone, and now they want to know how to hook it up to the Sony receiver so they can do karaoke to Youtube videos. Do I have to buy a mixing board or something, and stick it between the TV audio and the receiver?
My name is Cranberries, and I slapped together my first home theater system at 51 years of age.

I put in enough work trying (and failing) to get our current setup to work that I am off the hook. We now have nonfunctional speakers connected to a nonfunctional receiver. But we can get Netflix through the TV speakers so that’s enough to keep the kid happy and the wife happy as long as she doesn’t look at the speakers.

Well, name your price to come to Humboldt County, CA. Next time the wife brings it up, I can end the conversation by letting her know that I know a guy who’ll fix it for X. She won’t pay but it will end the conversation.

I'll give it a shot, thanks. I'm not sure how the levels will mix, but it's a $2.00 experiment!

if you really want to get fancy, plug the mic into a laptop then plug the headphone jack into the sound bar. You can then use the native windows dialog box when you click on the speaker to lower the output, and just use voice recorder or whatever to transmit.cranberries wrote:

(Looks at review draft)
OK, use commas judiciously. That’s the one thing.
