Using it for just audio would require something in between. Most sets just aren&#39;t designed to do that, short of some from our favourite brand: they have a separate audio only mode which runs the power supply in reduced output mode, and only turns on the audio amplifiers and signal routing.<br /></p><p>I did have a domestic TV set (Salora) way back that had an optional FM tuner. Worked just fine, but it felt a little stupid having the tube whistling on with a black picture while listening to radio. <br /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/141780.aspxMon, 15 Sep 2008 06:46:47 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:141780beaker0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/141780.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=141780I could never understand why all tv&#39;s, not just B&amp;O havent had radio tuners in them since the 60&#39;s. Its not like a tuner takes up much room and you have an amp, speakers and aerial already there. I suppose its just a way of making you buy another product. If there is a technical reason for not doing this could some one let me know as it has puzzled me for years.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/141719.aspxSun, 14 Sep 2008 20:51:47 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:141719Dave0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/141719.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=141719How silly!

It seems to be an all in one product but there is no mention of whether or not it also incorporates an AM/FM tuner...</p><p>Cheers!&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
