4.1 & Xbox

I READ THE MESSAGE THAT WAS POSTED ABOUT HOOKING PRO MEDIA'S 4.1 TO A XBOX, BUT I'M STILL CONFUSED. CAN YOU USE THE SPEAKERS WITH THE XBOX AND IF SO, DOES IT ALSO MEAN YOU CAN HAVE THEM WORK THROUGH YOUR TV AS WELL,BY MEANS OF YOUR XBOX AUDIO OUTPUTS.

Well, it is not that easy.

First youmust ask yourself... how much is REAL surround sound worth...? Well, if you think that it is worth around $99-125, theni can give you a simple solution, the $125 is a REALLY simple solution

Ok, you would use the digital (optical or coax) audio output from the XBOX to the Audio Tornado. it costs $99 and has a remote control and decodes Dolby Digital. But, hooking a TV up to it is not so easy. It all depends on if your TV has audio output.

For $125, you can get the Sherwood RVD-6090R Stereo Receiver. (thanks egrillo) http://www.sherwoodusa.com/home_audio/hprec60_fs.htm

THis has much more for inputs and outputs.

It all depends on if you TV has audio out. if it doesnt and you don't need to hook anything else to it besides an XBOX, get the Audio Tornado. But, if youwant say your XBOX, another DVD Player, Computer etc. however, i am not sure on all of the inputs for this receiver, still investigating that.
