I am usesless with technolgy so please help! I had a DVD player/home cinema system which just died on me. So, I bought a DVD recorder. Question is can I still make use of the suuround sound speakers? Was advised to use old DVD player as an amp but it has no coaxial or optical output which I was told I would need. Can i just buy an amp separately?
hoops, yes you can by a preamp/amp unit, as that is exactly what you need to hook up the surround sound speakers to, but I will tell you, most of the time, it is less expensive to buy a complete package deal then separate componets. I did alittle comparison shopping just know and i saw a complete package deal from199.00 to 499.00. the separate componets to purchace them was about 25% more. let us know how you made out. Good Luck
Thanks Larry, I don't want to buy a whole package deal as I already paid for the new DVD recorder. Are amps expensive on their own? Can you sugest a good place to buy one as I really have no idea what to look for! Thanks so much.
Anyplace like Best Buy or ABC warehouse would have what you need. you can also do a search online for audio equipment to see what you want or to look at and compare shopping.
