RE: [AV Media Matters] Technical Question

I agree. Go to Radio Shack and purchase the adaptors. Note that if
the 3/4"deck has XLR's outs then the output will be +4 db and the TV
will most probabily be a -10 db device.  That means it will distort
from overload. Just turn down the audio output of the 3/4" with the
knobs.
