    My LG TV will not support a loop system and at the same time have my wife adjust the volume.
    So, can I attach the loop system to the audio out Cox Contour Cable box?

      Hi Ed:

      You betcha. Loops work great attached to boxes ahead of the TV in situations such as yours.

      Cordially,

      Neil
