Hi Rex, Welcome. I think there are a bunch of us around here who have been experimenting with the whole AV thing for many, many years. You're in good company

I think I first tried hooking up my Soundesign (all in one stereo/8 track/turntable) to a 13" B&W RCA about 30 some years ago

Thanks for the welcome, Mark!

Amazingly, I still have the Harman-Kardon model 930 receiver that was my first stereo purchase. I was an undergrad living in Tampa, so that would have been 1971 or 1972. (Can that really be 35 year ago?) My first step was hooking up a second pair of speakers to have the out of phase information -- based upon an article in Stereo Review. My "front" speakers were a pair of KLH Model 7, and some small AR "rear" speakers. I had a Sony 19" trinitron (also the first television I bought) and some sort of VCR. The audio of the VCR went into the aux inputs of the Harman-Kardon. I also had a device from AR that allowed me to have a remote control for the Harman-Kardon. I thought it was wonderful, and my wife HATED it - because it was not simple. For almost starving undergraduate students, it was high-tech! LOL
