Hard 21 Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 What special input/outputs have to be available on a TV for one to run a 5.1 R35 or R7 system? That includes a DVD/VCR, Receiver (maybe pre/pro & amp), Playstation 2, and CD player. I have about a 25 inch RCA TV (approx. 3 yrs old). All I know about it is that it has the inputs for a DVD player that not all TV's have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVD player...I prefer component video but at least Svideo PLaystation 2 see DVD VCR S video at best...but RCA video at least... All AUDIO hooh ups go to the receiver....no sense in going to TV with them.... ORRRRRRr you can run video signals to receiver and then one interconnect from reciever to TV.....and let Reciever switch the source for TV....

eq_shadimar Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Any 5.1 surround system using the speakers that you mentioned will require the use of a Audio/Video Receiver, Pre-Amp, or DVD player that can decode Dolby Digital and/or DTS signals. The TV is simply the display device for the video. As mentioned above there are lots of different ways to connect the video to your TV. So the short answer to your question is that there are no special inputs required on your TV for 5.1 sound. All of the processing and amplifcation will be handled elsewhere.
