Sorry, just joined as I am looking for home theatre/stereo answer. If there is a better group in this forum, please redirect me.
Should/could I double up the input from an amplified analog audio signal (from a kareoke mike output) with the analog output from my TV cable box to put back into a single HMDI input in the home theater amp.
That is, I would use a rca Y-cable to combine the two analog signals and then put into a simple converter box from Amazon to get a single HDMI output to the receiver.
This is so I can add a miked sound to the kareoke channel from the TV.
Or will I push some unwanted signal/current back to the TV box?
Already have great kareoke stand alone, but would like to add mike this way to TV too.
Silly question? Blame my lack of experience.

To avoid shorting the two sources directly together, add a 2k resistor in series with each source,
before the Y connector. The levels of the two sources could be very different, but give it a try.

Thanks for the ans.
No, that last one will not work on its own... as I said, I need to get the combined signals into an HDMI out, not RCA or quarter inch jacked out.
I have a couple mixers, including the slightly larger Behringer unit, but I would still need to get the unit from Amazon that will take the coax outputs and put it into an HDMI.
But you have given me an idea. Maybe I will pick up both the small mixer or look in my boxes for one with the XLR input AND the converter from Amazon.
But that still leaves the question of doing damage to the TV box by piggy backing another signal on the line. I can try the resistors as suggested too.
