hi,

yea those mercury spkrs probably fit into a standard headphone jack but that'll mean muting the tv spkrs n reduction in sound quality cuz i don't respect the sound quality of mercury spkrs tht much. wht u cld do is get one of those convertor plugs tht convert the component (L/R) output of the Line out jack of the TV into a single stereo jack tht u cld plug ur spkrs into.

cheers

d, that was too much of terminology which only made me feel ignorant abt the L/R o/ps!

now i need to plug in these speakers only additionally since i dont want to go into baskets.... is that wat u suggested ur idea for? if so i ll try it. cud u be pls mre eloborate but?

hi legolas sorry i tend to get carried away.

by L/R, i meant the left and right channel line out audio jacks from ur tv...they'll usually be coaxial jacks, in red and white. so wht u need is a convertor tht plugs into those jacks and offers a standard headphone jack (3.5 mm) for ur mercury spkrs(assuming tht's wht they hv)...a good one shld cost u less thn 50 bucks...tht's wht it cost me!

cheers.

PS: if ne1 cld help me out wid posting pictures on the forum
