Just to reiterate, the two analog (RCA) Audio Out jacks on the rear panel of this TV are only active for off-air programs. Audio from external sources such as a DVD or VCR is not transferred to those connectors (they go dead).

Yesterday I picked up a Kramer 6410N converter at a good price from a local seller. Using the TV's optical port, external sources sound terrific through the Kramer. There's another problem though - the TV's optical port only works for those sources. It goes dead when the TV is switched to off-air programming.

This means there is no single audio output at the TV that will transfer TV audio from both off-air channels and external sources to my stereo. Of course, there was no way to know the TV would behave this way until I tried it with the Kramer. It is now apparent to me that there is no way to transfer all the audio from the TV (off-air plus external sources) to my stereo system without an external switchbox. So, in retrospect, I should have spent the funds on a DIY switcher/preamp/gain controller instead. Sigh... Anyway, thanks for everyone's help and advice!
