Amp 100 Line 1 in problem

I would check if the amplifier somewhere gets hot. Most likely with a certain temp the amplifier will go into protection, Avoiding damage to the vital parts.
When you can find the place where it becomes hot, perhaps you can see if a transistor, or am integrated circuit is not correctly fastened. Before fastening it, perhaps you should apply cooling paste. (Like you use between a microprocessor and the van)

Perhaps it is only running hot, because you want to much power?
To loud.

Ground and Remote wire ? Common issues I have run into.

How loud do you expect it to be?

More watts doesn't mean more loud but it gives you more headroom for cleaner reproduction of very loud passages. Distortion will kill a speaker faster than clean signals will.

I don

Simply place it in line with the analog input. Or install it in a Tape Loop on your integrated amp/receiver and attach your tape deck to ITS tape Loop.

Ins to Outs

Receiver Tape Out (Rec) - to the External Processor (EQ, whatever) Preamp-, Rec, Line-In;

Receiver Tape In (Play) - from the External Processor (EQ, whatever) Preamp-, Play , Line-Out.

Be advised, using analog processors on digital-capable multichannel elcetronics will only work for analog 2-channel sources.

this is a - large fuse type - all car spare parts carry this fuse
You need a large - 3ag - 5a = 5 amp fuse
3ag-5a = 3ag (large fuse ) 5a - 5amp

It is normal for power amps to get warm. Overheating can be caused by deffective speakers, or internal leakage on the transistors. Does is produce normal sound?

Clarifying...

You are trying to play audio from the TV through your computer?

You need an adapter cable that has an 1/8" stereo phone plug on one end, and two RCA male jacks on the other end.

The RCA connectors are to be plugged into your RV using the AUDIO OUT jacks (usually red/white) and the small plug goes into the auxiliary or line in jack on the back of your computer.

Then, Double-Click on the volume icon in the system tray (this should bring up the system mixer), unmute the line in sound if it is not already and run the "slider" control for that input up about half way.

then, Tune the TV to whatever channel or input you wish and adjust the volume level on your computer to a comfortable listening level.

ps. Some TVs don't use fixed level audio outputs, and the volume will vary as you run the volume up/down on the TV, too...

You need a special 1/8" cord for video output. For example the standard 1/8" cord has 2 black rings on the 1/8 plug, each ring is a channel one for left side and one for right side. You need an 1/8 cable that has 3 rings on the plug, 1 for video, 2 for Left and right audio channels. It dosen't have to be an IPOD brand cable it just needs the 3 black rings.

Good Luck

Is the amp already used for L R? If so, you either need another amp for center, or set your Sony for stereo mix down. I have mixed the center channel into my main LR in the past and found there were terrible phase cancellations, so I suggest you switch to Stereo, or use a separate amp.
