Hey guys,
I bought a samsung 40" lcd series 5 tv and "nano" brand 5.1 surround sound system with receiver. I've scoured the internet in search of a website for these speakers but can't find anything..i should mention that they are a Thailand brand company.
I don't know much about home audio so this may be a stupid question. On the back of receiver there are only 2 sets of hook ups....one set is cd, dvd, and aux..just the average left right plug ins...the other is ac3 5.1 channel input with 5 rca plugs also red and white. No hdmi, s=video or anything else......Right now i have the system hooked up to the tv by running those 5 cables out of the ac3 into one male headphone cable (audio out,headphone jack) on the tv.
The stereo sounds good, but I know it's not proper surround sound. I've just been to the shop and they say i need to buy a hdmi dvd player. I understand what they mean(those 5 ac3 plugs will plug into the dvd player, then into the tv via hdmi) but what I don't get is when i use the pc or xbox that are hooked up to the tv..how can i make those in full 5.1? since they are different inputs from the dvd player....
any help would be much appreciated
this isn't the exact same tv since it's an asian version..but virtually the same..
