so the co-ax wouldn't be used as an rca cable.. simply as a co-ax line..

other then vcr.. i dont know of anything to modulate it..

Hence the point of using the vcr. Coax through the house,into the vcr, out as stereo rca, into stereo system. Simple.

I went to CTC last night and found one of those ($40). I think that you are right - it converts from RCA to co-ax but would not be able to do the reverse.

I guess its down to getting a VCR . . . or, using the co-ax for one line.

I currently have RCA's and speaker wire running from the stereo to the TV. The RCAs are 4 wires (L-,L+,R-,R+). Since the negative is a common terminal, I can run that set of RCA's as L+,R+, and com -. Then, with the additional wire, do the same with the coax.

I think that is a workable solution - any thoughts?
