How can I connect my home theater?

Home DLP Q&A's
I just bought a home theater from Sony and it’s really nice. The amplifier included is a Sony DVD Player with all the speakers connected on the back. Except there is only an output plug for the tv and there is no other plug to connect something else. Can I buy an other amplifier so that I can use the speakers with all the stuff I own(Satellite, iPod, Xbox, DVD)? Or is there another easier way?

There might be an easier way, but here is the best thing you could do. Buy a Yamaha reciever, make sure you get one with enough inputs and outputs. Don’t get one with a built in DVD, they typically only last around 2 years. I recomend getting one with Upconvert capabilities, in case you ever upgrade to an HD television.

Sorry chief…If there’s no inputs there’s no way to hook anything to your Sony…And if you’re going to buy an amp anyway, you might as well get a new system…Besides, most of Sony’s “all-in-one” system’s parts aren’t compatible with anything else.
If you’re set on “all-in-ones” then you should go and demo ONKYO’s entry level set up…See what you think…At $300 you don’t get a DVD player…But you can get a “decent” one for less than $50 these days…Click this link right here to see the Onkyo: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Onkyo-Home-Theater-System-HT-S590S/sem/rpsm/oid/148410/catOid/-12954/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

yup, you can get a video and/or audio selector, usually about twenty bucks,more for s-video or component.(kind of a switch box)

It’s called an RF Modulator. Can get it most stores (Best Buy,Wal-Mart) Gives you rca jacks to plug components into. Easy to hook up. Just follow directions.
AND Yes, you can get a new amp that will support your stuff. Try Yamaha or Onkyo for quality sound and advanced hook-ups

HTIB usually limits the number of aux inputs. Your best bet is to connect the audio and video output to an additional a/v receiver, which allows more aux connections as to those you mentioned.
