Hi everyone, I'm a serious newb and I would appreciate some help. I am thinking of getting a surround sound reciever and i only have money for the 5.1 channel recievers. I have some movies that only have 6 channel outputs (i don't know if this means they are 5.1 audio or 6.1 audio, perhaps someone could clear up my confusion). I want to know if it is possible for a 5.1 reciever to somehow mix the 6.1 or 7.1 audio so it can be heard on only the 5 speakers. Thanks in advance
I'd say probably yes, but depends on the receiver(?). I'm running 4 speakers, 2 Fronts (large), and 2 Surrounds off my Yamaha 663 and I think i'm getting everything. BTW kpuz, What's your price range for a receiver?
hey hobbit need help i have 2 front speakers,2 surround,subwoofer and a center speaker but i cant seem to hook them up to my tv there are three connections on my speaker box to go into my tv but i dont know how to do it i want all them playing on my ps3,the 3 connections are called (front(stereo))sorround(input)and CE/SW what do i do
I'm far from being the expert here. First off, what is the make and model of your tv? What's this "speaker box"? Do you have a "home theater in a box" too? Again, need make & models of your speakers. I'm thinking you probably won't be able to get them all hooked up without getting a receiver, unless you have a "home theater in a box". And I don't have a ps3 so have no idea what kind of audio connections it has.
