HELP Magnovox TV 19" screen, speaker('s) problem

[Eastward Bound]

Phillips Magnovox 19" TV E37589.

Is this TV of this size and model built on the infamous MONO
sound?!!!!

In the front of the TV are what look like two speakers at the bottom
but - but - but sound seems to only come out of the right side. There
is a headphone jack, and an audio and video jack on the front. There
is only ONE jack for the audio, WOULD THIS MEAN THE TV ONLY USES MONO
SOUND? I was at Target Today and I saw almost the same exact TV,
silver exterior and everything and the one on display had TWO audio
jakes one for left and one for the right speaker.

I want stereo sound, and a TV of this size it's inexcusable... Can I
plug in an external stereo system to the headphone jack on the front
of the unit and get stereo sound or will it only come out as MONOTONE?
Because Monotony is a terrible terrible thing.

BTW- did I get the model Number correct up above? Or is it one of the
other 4 numbers combined with letters at the back of the unit?

They often use the same cabinet moldings to produce
low-end mono sets for folks who don't need all the
bells and whistles. You get what you pay for. Or at
least, you're unlikely to get more than you pay for.

Your model number doesn't seem to be valid, but to answer your question, yes
your set is mono. Quite often they use the same cabinet on a mono and similar
stereo model, so the cabinet is set up for two speakers but you only have one
in your set. You can hook your audio output to both the left and right inputs
on a stereo using a Y type adapter and you'll get dual speakers but only mono
sound.

If your set is mono, which I suspect that it is, you cannot have stereo
sound. The set would require the proper decoder and audio processing
circuits to decode the stereo broadcasts.
