Solved! connecting TV to Amp

[jtwitt]

I have a mhsamp-06-cube home system that is rca plug driven. Beside splicing the rca plugs into my TV speakers, how do I hook up to control the volume

will using optical plug adapting to rca, give me volume control with tv remote.

Each TV does it differently. Mine doesn't. Manual says fixed output.

This issue is commonly solved by using a universal remote.

Newer equipment that are all hooked up with HDMI throughout, they can control each other via CEC.

??? The amp doesn't have a remote. The system was already installed in the home I purchased, and only has rca plugs to plug into.

That's a bummer. What u got for free doesn't work on your situation.

Either change TV or change amplifier with a remote volume.

what do you mean, remote volume? Would be just putting a receiver in the middle, fix it? TV goes either HDMI or optical to receiver, and receiver goes rca plugs out to amp?

to be honest, I don't know what the previous homeowners did. Here is a link to what I have: https/riverparkinc.com/manual/mhsamp-06-cube-product-information-document/

remote volume=can change volume with a clicker, don't have to get up the couch and walk up to amp.

U can certainly add a receiver in the middle, assuming you can detach the existing amplifier from the speakers.

thanks again, and I really am not dumb. . So there is a separate item called remote volume, different from remote control? As for the receiver, my thought was to have an audio out on the receiver , where I could plug into the rca plug on the amp. No?

I finally got it. I goggled remote volume and realized there is a separate adapter, with remote for this purpose. Thanks for the help.
