Is there a way to connect home theater speakers to T.V?

How come my home theater system doesn't have digital audio input?

  • So, few weeks ago I bought this home theater system for my TV because the audio quality sucks in it! The home theater system is LG HT355SD - I think it is kinda old... It is 5.1 channel, and the weird thing about it that it does not have digital audio input for surround! It has only RCA audio input (RED AND WHITE) and a regular 3.5mm audio input! - It also has composite and component video out for the built-in dvd - and yes it does do 5.1 surround when I play a dvd that has 5.1... My question is: Is there anyway I could connect my satellite receiver to the home theater and get surround sound? - My satellite receiver does have surround audio by the way and it also has digital audio out! (I am currently using AV out from my TV to my home theater and only get sound from 2 speakers and the sub!) Thank you

  • Answer:

    That the limitation for low-end Home Theater in a box systems. They may no thave s/pdif input. There are HTS with s/pdif input, they just cost more. There is nothing you can do with what you have.

Bargain price home theater in a box are not not designed for upgrade or flexible in adding other equipment to them. Most of the time when one item fails the whole system will have to be replaced. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Wal Mart, Target and other bargain price store carry them in brands like RCA etc. Hope this will help you out.

(TV Guy beat me to it) You did NOT buy a home theater system. You bought a glorified DVD player with cheap plastic speakers attached. It plays DVD's - and thats about it. A REAL AV receiver is a big, black box with a forest of spare connections on the back to let you hook up lots of other devices. You bought a skinny DVD player/receiver combo. No room and no circuits or software to hook much else up to it. You gave this up for the low price.
