Need a Amp with Volume Control


Hi,
I have hooked up my Apple TV via HDMI to my Sony TV and now want to use the analog audio out of the TV to connect an amp for my speakers.

Obviously I can't control the audio out volume on the Sony TV (the TV has no headphone plugs), and I also can't control it on the Apple TV...so I need a amp with either front volume control or even better a simple remote.

Any recommendations for a used amp <400$?

Any other setup idea's are welcome too :)

Thanks

Most Sony TV's have a selectable fixed/variable analog audio out. What is the model number of the TV?
Thanks for the answers.

TV is a Sony KDL 40S-4100. I looked at the backplate and manual and couldn't find anything :(
