Why is it so hard for me to get stereo from my television? Components:
Adcom GTP550 PreAmp
Adcom GFA5400 Amp (bi-wired to 2 Castle Speakers. )
T.V. Magnavox 27 inch stereo tv with three outputs -- Monitor Out, Left(mono) & Right.
FWIW> The tv is connected to cable and a VCR.I ran two cables from the Left/Right on the TV to the Video1 L/R on the pre-amp. No sound frm the speakers. I attached a single cable from monitor on the TV to the pre-amp monitor input, Nothing happened. I went thru the menu on the TV and selected external, VCR, DVD, EXT1, to which the TV went black, and I played a VCR tape. No sound from the speakers. As I said above, the cheesy VCR, has 2 audio in & out ports and 2 video in & out ports. The Audio Out port only will drive one speaker.
Any advice?

Are you then trying to get your TV's speakers to play? If so, there should be an option on your TV (somewhere in a menu) that will allow you to turn them on.Are you trying to get TV sound out of your main speakers?
Your TV is connected to cable and a VCR. Therefore the signal is not originating from the TV. Connect your cable through your VCR, then to your TV. Connect the VCR's audio output to your pre and the video out to the TV.You should be ready to go if I am reading your post properly.
I am trying to get TV audio from 2 speakers via the pre-amp. The only success is when the Audio Out port on the VCR is connected to the pre-amp, but I get sound from only one speaker.
