Home Theatre

[terpfan]

I want to put a home theatre system on my Toshiba 50" TV and incorporate a DVD, VCR, Cassette Recorder and 5 CD Carousel, but my current Surround Sound receiver which is about ten or eleven years old doesn't have enough jacks, or so it appears. Will I need to get a home theatre system to accomodate all of this equipment, or is ther a way I can hook all of this up?

Odds are you need a new reicever, esp. if you want surround sound. You can get switches and the like at RadioShack I believe, but it's only really a temporary solution.

If you really want to go 'cheap', you could get a DVD/VCR/Reciever combo at somewhere like Best Buy or (ick) Wal-Mart (or don't go there ). It has room for a CD play and a Casseste player for ports. But if you need to overhaul it in the future, you can't replace the individual components, you have to replace the whole freakin thing at once.

If you already have the peripherals(DVD/VCR/5-disc CD), sounds like you need a receiver and speaker system only. You'll have to piece a home theater system together tho.
