Help please. I am a novice...
I have just dug out an old Aiwa surround sound system (SXR210 / SXC300) and was wondering IF I can connect them to my Samsung PS43D450 TV at all?? If there is, what do I need?
Thanks heaps

I was in the same position last year and since my 5 speaker system Panasonic didn't have optical in so that i can connect it with my computer i bought a cheap Sony receiver with optical and DTS support. Still needed to buy a subwoofer also so that can become 5.1 system. But these maybe 200$ that i invested are worth it. Now it's perfect and i use my old 5 speakers. I think you want to do the same:)
There is a vast number of adapters in terms of audio equipment, and I am sure there is some way to get this to work. As far as how to do it, do you have a receiver unit for these speakers?
 
here is the back of the TV

And here are the speaker cords. Each speaker has only one cord.

That is from the sound system ? The best quality is with optical, hdmi or coaxial cable.

 
You failed to post picture on the other piece of equipment in question, the Aiwa.

That's what we are trying to establish right, how to hookup A to B, well let see what B looks like.
