Hello and thanks for the help To many times I do the same error and ask a question with some lack in details. I have a stereo satellite receiver and a stereo TV and a mono video cassette, so I want to be able to enjoy watching/listening in stereo but record in mono but have both L+R lines. I never do that before and it look to me if I use 2 resistor in series to join the stereo I will destroy the stereo signal. I know when you want to separate a dc sources or join them you can use a diode/s but in this case it looked to me to distorted and not acceptable. so AC signal give you an headache... furthermore you don't want to kill the sound. I think I will adopt the buffer idea and try it. Thank you all for you help! Tal -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
