Hi guys
Im not big into this kind of thing so hopefully you can help. I have a Pioneer A400 amplifier I bought many years ago, although it has not seen a lot of use I decided to use it recently to play speakers through my TV.
The only problem is I am getting massive interference. The only audio out on the TV is the headphone jack, so I have connected a jack to phono cable from the TV into the phono input on the back of the amp. Although it works the interference is huge and I cannot understand why. It gets slighty better when the TV volume is turned up full with the base off, but the quality is still terrible to the point where I cant use it. Any ideas what might be wrong?
I notice there is a grounding point on the amp, although I have never used this before and the CD, radio etc all work perfect, so I dont know if it would be this? If it is what is the best way to earth it?
Thanks for any help, Gary
