Hey all,
First post. I have an old Onkyo receiver model TX-SV515PRO. Circa 1991ish. Dolby Pro Logic. Only connections are RCA/analog. It's been sitting for idle for about 15 years. I decided to hook it up for music but then thought why not try and get surround to work with our tv. Found out that it will not work. I did try a DAC, and it will play through my receiver but only in stereo. We watched a movie like this and it was better than the tv speakers but the voices of the actors would go high/low randomly. So my question is, is there a speaker setup(subwoofer, center, front and rear) available that gives you true surround sound without having to use a AV receiver? I'm no audio or home theater buff, I just want movies to sound a little better than the tv speakers. I can't find an answer on the web. It looks like they make surround speaker sets only but I can't figure out if they will deliver true 5.1 surround or just stereo. Anyone? We have a TCL tv about 2 or 3 years old with HDMI, Optical, and ARC ports.
Thank you for any advice,
Ron
