On my Clam Shell T@B, I've got a Coby TV/DVD unit installed from the factory. It appears that they bypassed the internal speakers and just wired four speakers to the unit. (Two on the inside of the T@B and two outside in the kitchen.) Myself and two other people have poured through the instruction manual, and through every control on the TV and the remote, and it appears there is no way to control which speakers the sound is coming from.
When I installed my XM radio I saw up in the closet where the speaker wire is attached to the wires they hardwired to the TV.
A couple of folks have told me that I can easily just add an A/B switch to the wires at that point, then I can control which speakers are on. Is it that simple?? Or do I also have to provide power to the switch somewhere?? My son says I don't even need a fancy A/B switch, just a couple of toggles. Somebody else tells me if turning off the outside speakers is my objective, just one toggle on the outside speakers is the only thing necessary.
(This is important to me because when I'm taking my afternoon nap and want to have XM on or doze through a movie, I have to turn up the volume a bit to hear over the CoolCat, and I don't want to blast my campground neighbors with the speakers in the kitchen).
So, what's the best/easiest solution?? :-)
Thanks!!
