I like to record the Coast To Coast AM radio program which airs on local
radio from 12am to 5am nightly. I have a TV-VCR combo that will support
recording an external source.

In the front of the TV-VCR there are two female RCA [1] inputs, one input
labeled Video and the other input labeled Audio. In the rear of the TV-VCR
there are -- two pairs -- of RCA inputs, one pair labeled Audio in and
Audio
out and the other pair labeled Audio in and Audio out.

I know I can set the TV-VCR to Line 1 to record input from an external
device. Can somebody help explain to me how to wire the speakers (output)
of
an AM radio to interface with the TV-VCR to enable recording radio
programming (input) to the VCR?

Okay searching the web I just learned the speaker wires transmit power and
not a 1:1 audio signal as I ignorantly presumed. Forum discussions say I
must use an amplifier inline i.e. AM radio speaker wires --> amplifier -->
TV-VCR Audio In.

I don't really understand how power can become audio when amplified but if
that's all that it is I know I am using an older table top AM-FM radio which
will need to have an amplifier to record the radio's audio using the TV-VCR.

So what might be your recommendation for the least expensive amplifier? I'll
be calling Radio Shack to learn what may be learned. Thanks for your time...
